The EKG Slot Awards Categories
The EKG Slot Award categories for 2018 were determined by EKG principals, and award winners will be determined by utilizing a data-driven approach to include both proprietary game performance data as well as a survey of qualified slot managers. For awards where proprietary data is not available, the award winner will be solely determined by the survey responses.
