(PRWEB) October 2, 2007 -- Everest Poker was the toast of this year's eGaming Review Awards held on Friday 28 September in London by winning both awards they were nominated for; Hot Shot Operator of the Year and Poker Operator of the Year.

According to the organizers the Hot Shot Operator of the Year Award "is designed to spotlight the operator that has had the greatest impact on a global level in 2006/7. They will have been the ones to watch during the year and will have shown the greatest promise for the future."

Equally, for the Poker Operator of the Year Award eGaming Review were "looking for originality, growth and scale, usability, payment processing and marketing. Special consideration is given to operators looking to innovate in this highly competitive sector."

Jennifer Joyce, Everest Poker's VP of Marketing, commented: "To win both awards is fantastic for us - we have seen incredible growth over the last 12 months at a time when many said the market was saturated. By appealing to leisure players rather than the professionals we have opened up a much wider audience to the game and have generated better growth as a result. These awards are a great endorsement of everything we have all worked so hard for and credit to everybody for that."
