LAS VEGAS, NV – Ainsworth Game Technology’s popular San Fa Pandas game was named Top Performing Omni-Channel Slot Game, Retail and Online, at the annual EKG Slot Awards Show in Las Vegas.
“We are proud and honored to win this prestigious award for what has become a flagship game for Ainsworth,” said Harald Neumann, Ainsworth’s CEO. “Our recent focus and reorganization of our game development teams has resulted in strong games that are resonating with our players. We anticipate this to be just the first of many such awards.”
The game was released to land-based casinos in December of 2023, and quickly showed top results for the company. It was launched to online players shortly after, where San Fa Pandas continued to be a top performer.
“Winning this EKG Slot Award is a testament to the dedication, creativity, and passion of the entire Ainsworth team,” said Jason Lim, Ainsworth’s Chief Digital Officer. “This success is a collective effort and a shining example of the commitment we bring to our products and customers every day. I’m incredibly proud to share this achievement with the people who make it all possible – Vish Halyal, Julian Debono and the entire online team, Dustin Fasbender, Keith Kruczynski, Deron Hunsberger, Sean Evans and the incredible sales and marketing teams. Many thanks also go to Harald Neumann, who had the vision to invest in our future, which is heading in the right direction.”
On land, the game is housed in Ainsworth’s popular Raptor cabinet, and was the first game released on the hardware to rave reviews from operators and players alike.
“The Raptor cabinet stands out and draws players on the casino floor,” said Sean Evans, VP of Sales, Marketing, and Product Strategy. “Combined with the fun, colorful, and attractive graphics of San Fa Pandas, and the exciting gameplay, we knew this game was a winner from the beginning. We are proud to be recognized by the EKG Slot Awards, and ready to showcase more innovative new products to all our players, land-based and online.”
San Fa Pandas can be played across North America and found online where available. Ainsworth’s games and Raptor cabinet were nominated for EKG awards in a total of five categories across North American, Latin American, and online markets.
