Some organizations and events give out awards to casinos that do well each year in a certain category. For example, askgamblers has their own awards, casinomeister has their own and there are some others.
If you're looking for a new casino to try, do you ever notice if it got any awards and would that even matter to you?
For me it would matter up to a certain point.I rarely try new casinos when I feel very comfortable at some casino I have years of playing there.However for people who want to try something new the awards can greatly impact their choice so they are very important in this case.
