It also shows that we are the GameTech company that is leading the way within the Nordic region," says Gustaf Hagman, Group CEO.
Nordics Operator of the Year
LeoVegas won the award for the Nordics Operator of the Year because LeoVegas has been the driving force for innovation in all parts of the company and clearly distinguished from its competitors through a mix of high growth, innovation and strong delivery within product.
In addition, over the past year, LeoVegas has amplified its efforts in responsible gaming through the launch of www.LeoSafePlay.com – a dedicated portal for players who are at risk of developing an unhealthy gambling behaviour.
Casino Operator of the Year
