SiGMA Europe B2B Anniversary Awards celebrates new events for 2025

The SiGMA Europe B2B Awards, made possible by courtesy of BETCONSTRUCT, and hosted by Trudy Kerr and Mark Borg, took place this evening with a gala ceremony that celebrated excellence across the global gaming industries. The ceremony was a particularly special one, as it marks the company’s official 10 year celebration. The anniversary saw a special commemorative cake brought out on stage, which was ceremonially cut by CEO Emily Micallef and Founder Eman Pulis. 

The evening featured a major announcement, unveiling new destinations and dates for SiGMA’s flagship events: SiGMA Central Europe heads to Milan in November, while SiGMA Euro-Med (formerly East Europe) shifts its Budapest show to a September date.

Held in the stunning Grandmaster Suite at the Hilton Malta, the event welcomed nearly 700 distinguished guests for an unforgettable evening of awards, entertainment, and philanthropy. Twenty-six awards were presented, each recognizing exceptional achievements within the industry.

Renowned illusionist Steve Carlin and acclaimed French magician Moulla added a touch of magic to the night. Carlin captivated the audience with an act combining the art of illusion with the spirit of the casino, featuring a poker chip performance and a playful live pickpocketing stunt. Moulla’s “Augmented Magic” blended technology and illusion, as he transformed the SiGMA logo into a new version celebrating the milestone anniversary and amazed guests with an interactive trick that saw a live photo appear on a guest’s phone. Known for his award-winning shows “Décroche” and “Miracles,” Moulla brought his signature blend of magic and innovation to the stage.

The evening concluded with a heartfelt charitable auction, led by the charismatic Rick Goddard, in support of SiGMA Foundation projects. More than just an industry gathering, the night was a celebration of community, generosity, and achievement, leaving a memorable mark on SiGMA’s first decade of success.
