LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Casinos.com today announced the opening of public voting for the inaugural International Casinos Awards, a celebration of excellence in global casino entertainment. The awards are the centerpiece of the newly launched International Casinos Day, a day dedicated to recognising the casinos that bring excitement, employment, and unforgettable experiences to millions of people around the world.

The awards span more than 100 categories, from the Best Casinos in different areas around the globe to the Best Casino for Slots, Best Casino Restaurant, and Best Casino Entertainer. Casino visitors and Casinos.com users will also determine the winner of the Royal Flush Award, honoring the best remarkable casino lavatory, and the ultimate title: Best Casino in the World.

Voting is now open at casinos.com/international-casinos-day.

Casino Awards Voting Now Underway

Nominations have been collected, and voting is officially open. Readers can cast their vote for the best in the business and weigh in on their favorite casino properties in dozens of categories. Winners will be announced this summer.

“The International Casino Awards is for casino patrons, not industry insiders,” said Lee Gwilliam, SVP of Casinos.com. “We wanted players to have their say in what really matters to them.”

A Global Celebration of Joy and Jobs

The first-ever International Casinos Day also launched this year by Casinos.com, will be on May 15 – in honor of Las Vegas’s 120th birthday.

Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley will make it official, issuing a proclamation on May 15 confirming the date while calling on everyone in Las Vegas to join the city in celebrating International Casinos Day.

This new annual observance recognises the unique role casinos play in local economies and global culture, and highlights how they make a difference to their communities. From the blackjack tables of Las Vegas to waterfront properties in Singapore and Brighton and tribal casinos across North America, casinos entertain millions, employ hundreds of thousands, and support vibrant entertainment and hospitality scenes.

“It’s good to see casinos finally getting their own holiday,” Gwilliam said. “Casinos are about so much more than sitting at a blackjack table late at night. They’re well-rounded resorts with world-class restaurants, top-tier spas, and top entertainment. Online, you can access many of the same games. They create jobs, fund public services, and have become a vital part of our culture, economy, and local communities.”

Vote Now and Join the Celebration

Voting is now open for casino patrons in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Ireland and in over 70 other locations in the U.S. and globally.
