LAS VEGAS, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AGS (NYSE: AGS), a global gaming supplier known for its high-performing slot, table, and interactive products, has been named one of U.S. News & World Report’s 2025–2026 Best Companies to Work For.

AGS was selected as one of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Companies to Work For, placing in the top 30 percent of 2,119 publicly traded companies evaluated. To be eligible, companies were required to have more than 75 employee reviews on Glassdoor submitted between 2021 and early 2025, alongside strong workplace data across key metrics.

The U.S. News evaluation assessed companies based on employee sentiment and six key workplace factors: quality of pay and benefits, work-life balance and flexibility, job and company stability, physical and psychological comfort, belonging and esteem, and career opportunities and professional development.

AGS was honored in the following categories:

• Best Companies to Work For – Overall
• Best Companies to Work For in the West
• Best Companies to Work For in the Media and Communications Industry
• Best Companies to Work For – Top Workplace Environment
• Best Companies to Work For – Top Engineering Jobs

In Nevada, AGS was one of only two companies featured on the 2025–2026 list.

“Our recognition by U.S. News & World Report is especially meaningful because it reflects what our employees have shared about their experience working at AGS,” said Kim Nasuta, Senior Vice President of Human Resources. “The hundreds of Glassdoor reviews submitted over the past several years tell a powerful story about a culture rooted in trust, transparency, and opportunity. We are proud to foster an environment where people feel supported, empowered, and excited to come to work every day.”

LAS VEGAS, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AGS (NYSE: AGS), a global gaming supplier known for its high-performing slot, table, and interactive products, announced today it has been named one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation and in Atlanta for the ninth consecutive year.

“These awards are more than plaques on a wall—they’re proof of the incredible team we’ve built,” said AGS President and Chief Executive Officer David Lopez. “Our people are the engine behind everything we do, and the culture we’ve created together continues to be one of the things I’m most proud of.”

Presented by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR), the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® awards are based on an independent research-driven assessment of company practices and employee survey results. Companies are evaluated across a comprehensive set of criteria that reflect the employee experience—spanning areas like compensation and benefits, engagement and retention, civility and inclusion, leadership, communication, and overall workplace well-being. AGS earned high marks for its focus on key areas such as benefits, wellness, community involvement, and workplace creativity—surpassing the Best and Brightest benchmark, which reflects the median score of peer companies in the same market.

“What makes this recognition meaningful is that it’s based on how our employees truly feel,” said Kim Nasuta, AGS Senior Vice President of Human Resources. “Nine years in a row speaks to the consistency of our values and how deeply embedded they are in how we hire, support, and grow our people.”

AGS’ Metro Atlanta offices—home to many of the company’s R&D, engineering, and operations teams—continues to be a cornerstone of its innovation and culture. The Atlanta-area recognition reflects this local impact, while the national honor acknowledges AGS’ broader commitment to culture across its U.S. footprint, which includes offices and game studios in Las Vegas, Reno, Scottsdale, Austin, and Oklahoma City. In addition, AGS supports a large network of remote sales and field service employees located near customer operations throughout the country—extending its culture of connection and performance well beyond its physical offices. AGS also operates globally with teams located in six countries outside of the U.S.
