The inaugural G2E Dealer Championship will debut this year at Global Gaming Expo 2025, presented by the American Gaming Association (AGA) and organized by RX. The much anticipated competition brings together top casino dealers across the U.S. to compete for the title of the best dealer in America.

The multi-day event will culminate in cash prizes for the top three competitors.  Additional details and nomination eligibility can be found by visiting www.globalgamingexpo.com.

The competition is open to full-time, part-time, and dual-rate dealers employed at land-based or online legal, regulated casino operators in the United States and requires nomination through their employer. Each casino property may nominate a maximum of one participant per operator property, with no more than four properties per enterprise considered for participation. Every participating dealer must be accompanied by a table games executive from the same property, who will also serve as a judge during the event. 

Contestants will each deal Blackjack and traditional Roulette for 15 minutes, evaluated on technical skills, hospitality, and game control. Participation in both games is required. Based on the number of participants, the competition will feature a series of elimination rounds to determine the champion and runners-up.

“We’re thrilled to introduce the inaugural G2E Dealer Championship as one of the exciting new additions to this year’s event,” said Korbi Carrison, RX’s Event Vice President for G2E. “This competition celebrates the incredible skill, precision, and showmanship of casino dealers across the country as well as highlights the vital role they play in the gaming experience. The dynamic and engaging experience will recognize top talent and is sure to bring even more energy to the show floor.”

“This is more than a competition – it’s a recognition of the professionalism and talent that drive our industry forward,” said Debi Nutton, casino industry veteran and G2E Dealer Championship advisor. “Dealers are an integral part of the gaming experience, and the face of the industry for so many guests. I’m proud to help shine a spotlight on their craft at the industry’s biggest stage.”

Inspired by and in collaboration with the European Casino Association’s European Dealer Championship, G2E’s event will showcase their expertise while also engaging in skill challenges that highlight technical precision, flair, and a commitment to exceptional player experience. Designed to celebrate professionalism and talent within the industry, the G2E Dealer Championship promises to be a must-attend event at G2E this year. 

For 25 years, G2E has served as the premier global event for the legal, regulated gaming industry, fostering innovation and driving growth across casinos, hospitality, technology, iGaming, sports betting, and more. The event will welcome over 25,000 industry professionals from more than 120 countries, regions and territories, and nearly 400 exhibitors showcasing the latest global gaming technologies.

At iGB L!VE 2025 in London, the N1 Partners made a statement for its top partners — loud, bold, and airborne.

N1 Partners delivered an unforgettable iGB L!VE experience for one of their high-performing teams — Traffic Squad. Currently ranked in the top three of the year-long global N1 Puzzle Promo leaderboard, they’re chasing the ultimate prize: a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter. The special day, arranged by N1 Partners, featured a unique journey through London aboard the red Wealth Bus, followed by an exclusive flight over the city center in an N1-branded helicopter.

“This ride left me speechless, to be honest.” “Amazing.” “Absolutely breathtaking.” And finally: “Truly one of the best experiences of my life!” — representatives of the Traffic Squad team shared their impressions of the helicopter ride.

iGB L!VE became another key step in N1 Partners’ global Puzzle Promo. The exclusive N1 merch distributed at the conference was more than just swag — it served as an additional puzzle piece that boosted partner teams on the leaderboard.

During the conference, the N1 Partners team held dozens of strategy sessions with affiliates, exploring top-converting offers and traffic-boosting tactics. “This year in London was a genuine level-up for us,” said Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners. “We brought more than deals — we delivered experience. From strategy sessions to skyline views, our focus stays the same: give partners the tools and energy to be number one.”

N1 Partners remains open to new collaborations. Ready to unlock your next revenue milestone? Drive traffic and start climbing toward that Robinson R22 helicopter. This is your moment — join the N1 Puzzle Promo.

AGS announced it will showcase its latest lineup of high-performing Class II and Class III slot titles and table innovations at the 2025 Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) Conference and Trade Show, taking place July 14–16 at the Oklahoma City Convention Center. This comes on the heels of the Company’s recent announcement that it is now privately held, following the completion of its acquisition by Brightstar Capital Partners.

Leading the slot lineup is So Hot Super 4 Legends, a brand-new multi-play experience debuting in Class II markets that lets players engage with four classic So Hot® titles at once on a single screen. With stacked wins and frequent bonus triggers, this high-energy game puts a fresh spin on iconic AGS hits that have long been staples in key Class II markets like Oklahoma.

AGS will also debut new titles spanning multiple Spectra cabinets, including:

• Triple Riches family: Transylvania Treasures
• Kraken Fortune’s family: Pirate Hoard
• Zodiac Strike family: Pegasus
• Dragon Blast® family: Mighty Lion
• Mariachi Fortunes Trio family: Fiesta De Los Vivos and Fiesta De Las Calacas
• Repeat Win Fusion family: Puurfect Trio and Fa Cai Trio

In the premium segment, AGS will spotlight Moo Cluck Oink®, now available in Class III and coming soon to Class II. This character-packed farm frenzy brings together the fan-favorite stars of Cluck Cluck Cash® and Moo Moo Madness, along with a few new barnyard personalities. The game’s playful crossover theming gives players a rare reunion of familiar favorites, wrapped in a brand-new experience.

Moo Cluck Oink is available on all AGS premium cabinets—Orion Curve Premium, Spectra UR43 Premium, and Spectra SL49+ Premium—and the large-format, specialty cabinet Spectra SL75+. Designed to support the entire Spectra game library, including premium titles when leased, Spectra SL75+ gives operators added flexibility to mix and match content to fit their unique casino floor.

AGS will also showcase its high-performing mechanical stepper lineup, led by the Revel® cabinet—the Company’s first entry into the mechanical stepper category—available in both Class II and Class III. At OIGA, attendees can experience Revel launch titles in Class II, including Liberty Diamond® and Triple Treasure®, along with Straight Cash Triple Double Spin, a new title set to release this quarter in both Class II and Class III. Returning to the lineup is the proven Gold Nudge®, delivering classic stepper appeal with a modern nudge feature.

On the table side, AGS continues to push boundaries with Bonus Spin Xtreme for Poker Rooms. Already a hit on main casino floors, Bonus Spin Xtreme now brings the same electrifying progressive action to poker rooms. It can be linked to a shared jackpot pool across multiple table types or configured as a standalone progressive. Live poker players who place the side bet have a chance to win the same life-changing prize as players on blackjack, craps, roulette, or pai gow. The result is one of the most dynamic and inclusive progressive systems in the industry.

With deep roots in Oklahoma, where AGS was founded and where its primary warehouse and production facility remain, AGS is energized to return to OIGA with a growing portfolio of player-favorite products and a continued commitment to serving the needs of tribal operators.

See it all in action at AGS booth 732 at OIGA 2025.
