This year the prizes went to two Spanish companies, slot manufacturer R Franco and the Casino Gran Madrid group. The jury awarded the prize to R Franco for being “the most innovative European gaming industry company.” Chairman Jesús Franco (pictured) received the award.

The prize for the Casino Gran Madrid group was given in recognition of it being the first Spanish firm to obtain an online gaming permit, joining a select club of only five European land-based casinos to be awarded an official permit in their home country.
