Nominations are now being accepted for the American Gaming Association’s 33rd class of the Gaming Hall of Fame.

Honoring contributors, pioneers, and other noteworthy figures, the Gaming Hall of Fame is one of the industry’s most prestigious awards. Selected by an independent panel of gaming executives, this year’s inductees will be honored at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas in October.

In 2021, six accomplished gaming figures were inducted:

  • Keith Knudson Jr., IGT Vice President of Global Business Development and Tribal Ambassador
  • Jeremy Jacobs, Delaware North Chairman
  • James R. Maida, Gaming Laboratories International President and CEO
  • Jim Shore, Seminole Tribe of Florida General Counsel
  • Jeffrey A. Silver, Dickinson Wright PLLC Counsel
  • Mark Yoseloff, retired chairman and CEO of Shuffle Master, founder of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Center for Gaming Innovation

“The Gaming Hall of Fame represents the best of our industry,” said AGA Senior Vice President Casey Clark in a statement. “With nominations now open for the Class of 2022, we look forward to honoring the pioneers and influencers who have made significant contributions to the gaming industry at G2E Las Vegas in October.”

Nominations must include the nominee’s name, mailing address, email address, and an explanation in 500 words or less why the nominee deserves induction.

Nominations can be submitted to the AGA’s awards platform until May 27.
