Leading operator nets prestigious industry award
Casino operator Videoslots is delighted to have scooped one of iGaming’s most coveted awards as it was named Online Casino Operator of the Year at the International Gaming Awards (IGAs) 2023 in London on Monday night
The Malta-based casino beat off stiff competition at a star-studded event at the Savoy Hotel to take home yet another IGA award, following on from a double win at the ceremony in 2022.
Videoslots has earned a fantastic reputation over the years, delivering more online slots to players than any other operator, giving users the choice to select a multitude of games from its unrivalled portfolio.
The IGAs is one of the most distinguished award ceremonies in the calendar, recognising excellence from operators and suppliers across the iGaming and betting industry, and this gong serves notice that Videoslots continues to be a world-leading operator within the sector.
Ulle Skottling, Deputy CEO at Videoslots, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to win yet another IGA award and I want to thank the whole team for all their hard work.
“Our team at Videoslots is absolutely dedicated to providing players with the very best slots in the industry and we are extremely grateful to have beaten off a host of excellent operators in their own right. However, the hard work continues as we want to give players a unique and thrilling casino experience.”
Videoslots currently offers over 9,000 games from almost 200 different providers, reaching its latest milestone last month, with the 10,000 landmark firmly in its sights.
