“It is fantastic to receive this award, not just because everybody wants the prestige of being operator of the year, but it is really showing how much work we have, as a collective as Team Leo, put in during what has been an exceptional year.”
“Our commitment to innovation and providing the greatest and safest gaming experience for our players is something we are very much proud of,” Jakes added.
Jakes also shared that their branded Megaways and Multiplay are a few of the biggest attractions on their website.
“It seems a long time ago that we brought our own Branded Megaways and Multiplay to life and most recently it is the massive appeal of LeoJackpot, we really enjoy being King of Casino and we equally appreciate such recognition today,” Jakes concluded.
