Congratulations to mobile gambling provider Spin3 and its associate Microgaming which this week took top honours at the first ever ME Awards, hosted by Mobile Entertainment magazine (www.mobile-ent.biz).

The hype has been building for weeks, with almost every mobile gambling company out there issuing "we're a finalist!" press releases as an indication of how important this award is perceived to be by the industry.

Spin3 was declared the winner by a judging panel comprising over 300 mobile content executives.  The Mobile Entertainment award recognised the pioneering work Spin3 has done in the mobile gambling arena, by bringing popular casino games including unique progressive video slots and globally famous brands like Lara Croft to wireless platforms. The award recognises the success and growth Spin3 has achieved since its launch in January 2005.

Tim Green, executive editor of Mobile Entertainment magazine, said: "These awards recognised the talent and hard work that is making mobile content the world's most exciting new industry. It was a truly amazing night and we look forward to doing it all again next year - in a bigger room."

The prestigious industry event recognised outstanding achievement in content development and publishing, technical services and hardware, and operator services.

“The ME Award is a great achievement and honour for Spin3 to be named the best in a niche industry that is witnessing phenomenal growth,” said Matti Zinder, CEO at Spin3. “The Award recognizes our drive to stay ahead in a dynamic market by continually diversifying our products, developing unique and innovative game offerings and providing customers a full service solution, not just a software package.”
