The members of the gaming industry ended up exhausted and satisfied after four intense days spent in Las Vegas, at the Venetian Hotel Convention Center.
From fabulous conferences given by leaders of the sector (operators, women, representatives of tribal gaming, executives from different areas such as: technology, social responsibility and product), through awards and recognitions such as the Global Gaming Awards, and moments of networking and social gatherings, and ending with a wide proposal of solutions displayed at the Expo Hall, the show had all the necessary condiments.
Of course, the organization of Reed Exhibitions,supported by the American Gaming Association (AGA), took care of all sanitary aspects thoroughly, from attendee’s controls, masks and vaccination card, plus neat and distant arrangements of the stands, as well asthe food sector, conference rooms and restrooms. “After the hardest year in our history, G2E provided a robust marketplace to drive the global gaming industry’s recovery forward,” said AGA Chairman and Aristocrat CEO and Managing Director Trevor Croker. “Nothing beats an in-person show – and we’re thrilled with the audience and enthusiasm surrounding G2E 2021.”
In this context, G&M News stood out as the main Latin American media, with a special coverage that revealed, even before the start of this 21st Global Gaming Expo, the backstage of the organization, and the enthusiasm of the visitors.
Undoubtedly, the most innovative stand was AGS, with a surprising urban design that attracted the attention of customers and visitors. The spaces of Aristocrat, JCM, Continent8 Technologies, TransAct, CPI, TCSJOHNHUXLEY and several more also shone.”The energy at G2E 2021 is a testament to the resilience of the industry,” said Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) President and Everi Holding’s Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Digital David Lucchese. “This year’s show connected exhibitors with the right, high-level audience to show off the innovative products and technology that will improve the player experience, engage new audiences, and advance global gaming.”

Excellent effort from RX and a great show of approval and resilience for the executives who joined this game appointment.
