In the "Best Slot Product" category, the judges selected Scientific Games' SPACE INVADERS skill-based slot game for the top honor. SPACE INVADERS is a new style of slot game that combines classic arcade fun with slot entertainment and skill-based play.

In the "Best Table Game Product or Innovation" category, the PRIZM Game Table took the top honor. An industry-first in slot cabinet design, the pioneering social gaming table features a 65-inch 4K display that serves as both the player interface and as a table with seating for four.
