The American Gambling Awards, produced by Gambling.com Group (Nasdaq: GAMB) ("Gambling.com Group" or the "Group"), honor the top companies and executives shaping the regulated U.S. online gambling landscape and are recognized as a benchmark for excellence in the sector.  “Winning Gaming Product of the Year is a testament to our commitment to creating memorable gaming experiences,” said Andy Whitworth, CEO of White Hat Studios. “Jackpot Royale™ has truly transformed the player experience and delivered impressive results by combining thrilling jackpot opportunities with a self-sustaining model. We are excited to continue integrating this innovative feature into new games, revitalizing existing titles and driving further engagement for our operator partners.” During the judging period, Jackpot Royale™ paid out more than $15 million in jackpot prizes to players across the US, demonstrating the product’s overwhelming success. The mechanic continues to be integrated into new games on a monthly basis, which allows operators to improve their content offering in a cost-effective manner. "Congratulations to White Hat Studios for their outstanding work on Jackpot Royale™, which has been rightfully recognized as the Gaming Product of the Year at the 2024 American Gambling Awards,” said Gambling.com Group co-founder & Chief Executive Officer, Charles Gillespie. “Jackpot Royale™ has supercharged the player experience, combining the thrill of jackpot opportunities with a self-sustaining model that has driven remarkable engagement and growth. The judging panel was particularly impressed by the game's innovative mechanics, including its three-tier jackpot system and cost-effective design, which not only enhances excitement for players but also delivers tangible value for operators.” Offering players the chance to win one of three jackpots—Maxi (avg. $5,000), Major (avg. $25,000), and Jackpot Royale (avg. $175,000)—Jackpot Royale™ has been integrated into 30 games and awarded $15.4 million in prizes to 950 U.S. players in its first year.
