The MGA-licensed lottery games supplier Helio Gaming has been awarded Gaming Concept Specialist of the Year in the Corporate LiveWire Innovation & Excellence Awards 2021.

Ninety thousand businesses and corporate professionals were invited to nominate companies based on service, innovation, experience, and sustainability amongst other criteria.

This is a great start to 2021 for Helio Gaming which is in the process of announcing new partnerships, new games developments and concepts.
It also marks their third award win in the past four months. Innovation and adaptability are the hallmarks of Helio Gaming’s success in an increasingly competitive sector.

Helio’ fully customisable games put the modern lottery player at the forefront of their design. Operators are seeing the benefits of this exciting vertical more and more, especially for upsell, cross-sell and retention strategies.

CEO Keith Galea commented on this latest achievement:
‘I am humbled, and it is an honour to be recognised again for the great work that the team at Helio is doing. We work hand-in-hand with our partners to listen to their needs and bring the best solutions for them, therefore it is of great satisfaction to be recognised with such an award.’

LeoVegas is the Casino Operator of the Year. Accepting the award, Matthew Jakes, Casino Portfolio Specialist at LeoVegas said:
“It is fantastic to receive this award, not just because everybody wants the prestige of being operator of the year, but it is really showing how much work we have, as a collective as Team Leo, put in during what has been an exceptional year.”

“Our commitment to innovation and providing the greatest and safest gaming experience for our players is something we are very much proud of. It seems a long time ago that we brought our own Branded Megaways and Multiplay to life and most recently it is the massive appeal of LeoJackpot, we really enjoy being King of Casino and we equally appreciate such recognition today”
