The G2E in Las Vegas saw Spanish gaming industry leader, Zitro’s CEO Sebastian Salat, presented by the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) with the 2021 Jens Halle Memorial Award for Excellence in Commercial Gaming. Established in honour of the fondly remembered Jens Halle, who passed away suddenly and tragically in 2015, this year’s award could hardly have had a more fitting recipient. Sebastian Salat has been a familiar face in the industry for over three decades, and he and Jens knew each other well as friendly and respectful rivals throughout Europe and beyond. Described as one of the most successful gaming machine salesmen in industry history, Salat served as Managing Director International and President International of WMS Gaming from 2000 until 2015, before becoming CEO of Zitro.
