AGS, a leading supplier of high-performing slot, table, and interactive gaming products to casino operators, is proud to announce its recognition as one of the 2024 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation and Atlanta by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR). 2024 marks the eighth consecutive year in which AGS has received recognition.
Concurrently, AGS has been named to the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Business Press, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, and The Oklahoman’s prestigious 2024 Top Workplaces lists. These awards recognize AGS’ dedication to creating a workplace that ensures a healthy organizational culture, employee well-being, and long-term success. In addition to these prestigious regional accolades, AGS has also received the 2024 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence Awards across its U.S. locations for Innovation, Work-Life Flexibility, Compensation & Benefits, Leadership, and Purpose & Values.
“We are honored to receive these awards, as they reflect the honest and genuine feedback from our employees,” said AGS President and Chief Executive Officer David Lopez. “Our people-first culture is our greatest strength, and creating an environment where a healthy company culture can thrive is what drives our success.”
Based entirely on employee feedback, these honors underscore AGS’ commitment to cultivating a positive company culture and leading in human resource practices. Conducted confidentially by a third party, the surveys for these awards evaluate key aspects such as employee satisfaction, communication, ethics, work/life balance, and career development.
These 2024 accolades add to AGS’ notable anthology of workplace achievements. In 2024, AGS was named to U.S. News & World Report’s ‘Best Companies to Work For’ list in the travel and leisure industry. AGS has received the HIRE Vets Medallion Award from the U.S. Department of Labor consecutively since 2018 for demonstrating an unparalleled commitment to attracting, hiring, and retaining veterans. In addition, AGS was named to Glassdoor’s esteemed Employees’ Choice ‘Best Places to Work’ list through anonymous, unsolicited employee reviews on Glassdoor.com at the height of the pandemic in 2020.

Esportes Gaming Brasil lands three brand nominations at Reclame Aqui Awards 2026
Esportes Gaming Brasil (EGB) says all three of its brands—Esportes da Sorte, Onabet and Lottu—have been shortlisted for the Reclame Aqui Awards 2026, a Brazilian awards programme focused on corporate reputation and customer relationships. The group announced the nominations on Thursday 16th July.
EGB said it is the first time the three brands have been nominated simultaneously. Esportes da Sorte is shortlisted in the Ultra Sports Betting Operators (Mega Operations) category, while Onabet and Lottu are in the Sports Betting Operators (Mega Operations) category.
“Receiving nominations for all three Group brands at the Reclame Aqui Awards for the first time is incredibly meaningful recognition of the work we carry out every day. More than simply an achievement, it reflects our consistent strategy of putting the customer at the centre of every decision by investing in technology, operational efficiency and personalised customer service to build long-term relationships based on trust,” said Maria Neves, Director of Customer Experience, Customer Support and Reputation Channels at Esportes Gaming Brasil.
The company attributed the nominations to ongoing investment in customer service processes, technology integration, employee training and changes to the user journey across its brands. EGB also said it reduced average response time for human customer support from 30 minutes to two minutes.
Reclame Aqui Awards winners are decided by consumer voting, according to the company. Public voting for the 2026 edition is scheduled to run from 2 September to 5 November.

QTech signs EXCO Game Studio slots for emerging markets
Deal adds four live titles and a development pipeline to QTech’s game aggregation platform, with a focus on LatAm and Africa distribution.
QTech has signed a content deal with EXCO Game Studio to add the supplier’s online slot titles to QTech’s game aggregation platform, targeting distribution across emerging markets including LatAm and Africa.
The agreement covers EXCO’s existing catalogue of four live games—VEGASCALINE, The Robbin’ Goblins, LUNA X and Piranha Bite Club—alongside a pipeline of upcoming releases named in the announcement as Apex Dregs, The Necrobeats and Hella Rella.
EXCO said its content runs on its proprietary GAMEX mechanic system and a configurable bonus suite called EXCO HACKS, which it says can be used by operators to vary volatility and engagement by market.
Philip Doftvik, QTech’s CEO, said: “EXCO Game Studio is fast becoming renowned for creating clever, fresh-faced mechanics for compelling and immersive experiences. In a homogenous space often devoid of original thinking, they offer mechanics which afford players a breakthrough user experience which they don’t get anywhere else.
“Their social mechanics also caught our eye, and QTech Play’s recommendation engine is now surfacing that shareable content to the players most likely to engage with it. The direction of travel is clear: entertainment in our markets is something players do together, not alone.”
Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at EXCO Game Studio, added: “The online slots industry is drowning in copycat product – another reskin wearing a new hat, every single time. Players clock it fast now. They abandon games quicker than ever, retention craters, engagement dies, because when everything looks the same, nothing matters. At EXCO we don’t do boardroom handcuffs and we don’t do safe. Our job is new themes, new mechanics, things that actually make a player feel something: concepts that make you pause mid-scroll, settings people actually talk about, characters you remember, stories that don’t follow the usual script. Terrible news for lazy studios. Excellent news for everyone else.”
