Casino named Slots Operator of the Year and Online Casino Operator of the Year

Videoslots has fought off strong competition to be crowned both Online Casino Operator and Slots Operator of the Year at the 2022 International Gaming Awards.

The popular casino has earned a deserved reputation as the undisputed home of online slots in recent years, providing players with more choice than any of its rivals.

And its continued innovation has now reaped the rewards at a star-studded event at London’s Savoy Hotel, where judges singled it out for two honours ahead of many of its industry rivals.

Deputy Chief Executive Ulle Skotlling said the news was testament to the hard work put in by the company’s team over the past 12 months.

He added: “We’re delighted to have been honoured by the IGA judges and pleased that the dedication of our growing team has been rewarded with these awards.

“They put their life and soul into providing casino players with the best online experience and it is gratifying to know that has been recognised by the industry.”

Videoslots currently offers over 7,000 games from more than 180 different providers, as well as unique engagement features such as Battle of Slots, Clash of Spins and The Wheel of Jackpots.

This marks the seventh consecutive year the property has earned Forbes Travel Guide recognition.

Receiving a 2026 Forbes Five-Star rating is Sunstone Spa, a holistically indulgent full-service spa and salon in Rancho Mirage.

In the wellness space, it takes caring hearts and passion to serve, and I am proud of our team’s ability to treat each guest with the same level of hospitality and excellence year after year,” said Daniel Spencer, Director of Spa, Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa.

Blask, a market intelligence ecosystem powered by AI for the iGaming sector, has been awarded Best AI Solution 2026 at the SiGMA Eurasia Awards, which took place yesterday in Dubai.

The accolade honors Blask for utilizing artificial intelligence to address a persistent issue in iGaming: the absence of dependable, prompt, and comparable market data in both regulated and offshore markets. Blask provides hourly updated AI-generated market intelligence instead of depending on slow reports and surveys.

The platform integrates computer vision, natural language processing, and predictive modeling to autonomously identify iGaming brands globally, assess market size and revenue potential, and monitor competitive trends in almost real-time.

Operators, affiliates, game providers, regulators, and investors utilize its exclusive metrics, such as the Blask Index, BAP, APS, and CEB, to aid in making strategic and operational choices.

“This award is a strong validation of the approach we’ve taken from day one,” said Max Tesla, co-founder and CEO of Blask. “We didn’t want to build another analytics dashboard. We wanted to build AI infrastructure that shows what’s really happening in the market, especially in places where data simply doesn’t exist.”

The SiGMA Eurasia win marks Blask’s fifth major industry award. Previous recognitions include Best Tech at the iGB Affiliate Awards 2025, Rising Star in Casino Innovation at the SBC Awards, Startup of the Year at the Starlet Awards, and SiGMA Asia Startup Pitch 2024.
