EGR is the leading publisher of B2B content ( business to business ) of the gambling and betting industry. Today is a reference mark for the entire sector. To be nominated in one of the categories of its international awards, the EGR B2B Awards, is quite an achievement.
The MGA Games nomination for this year's awards it was rightly highly celebrated by the entire sector in our country. MGA counts as one of the the most innovative companies both in the field of physical gambling halls and in that of online machines, very well known and with a great acceptance in Latin America as well.
The nomination in the category innovation for mobile it wasn't a surprise. MGA has been adapting some machines with many added features to the technically complex touch screens. The achievements are in sight. In this regard, CEO Joan Sanahuja welcomed the recognition:
“Our company culture has always oriented us towards the philosophy of continuous improvement and I am proud to say that each new production is better than the previous one. Being nominated as finalists of the EGR B2B 2020 Awards means that we are doing things right and encourages us to continue working with more strength and energy.” – Joan Sanahuja , CEO, MGA Games, at press release
In the list of finalists , along with MGA, were nominated developers of the stature of NetEnt , Pragmatic Play, WorldMatch, Red Tiger or Genesis Gaming.
Last week the hopes placed by MGA were frustrated. In a virtual ceremony for the obvious reasons of the global pandemic, we learned that it was Red Tiger the one who took the cat into the water . The judges valued its growth in recent years, having become a highly sought-after supplier by operators.
In addition, among the innovations that were taken into account are the tournaments incorporated into the machines and jackpots , which we can enjoy in the Spanish regulated market by the hand of 888casino, as already we inform you . Red Tiger is a subsidiary of NetEnt.

The big winner of the night was undoubtedly the giant Playtech, which took 4 awards. They congratulated themselves on this, insisting that they had won more awards than any other candidate. It is noteworthy that it was in the bingo and poker categories , in which he was the winner.

MGA goes into overdrive
But at MGA Games there are no reasons to be discouraged. This year's nomination is a clear sign that we are on the right track. As it was to have gotten be a finalist in up to three categories in the 2019 eGaming Awards , the industry awards in our country.
The expansion through Latin America continues with a firm step, and more and more operators are taking over the contents offered by MGA. It is the case of the BetConnections platform , which incorporates the Spanish company's games for its Latin American partners.
New launches in the international market , as is the case with the long-awaited slot dedicated to the star Samantha Fox, to which the successful Spanish Celebrities series , which continues to accumulate titles and enthusiastic reviews, are proof that there is nothing to stop the creative machinery of MGA Games .
