Mobile drives social gaming revenue increase

Reporting on new social gaming numbers from the Eilers and Krecjik Gaming consultants this week, CDC Gaming noted that mobile was the driving force in the 18 percent y-o-y rise in revenue of social gaming to $1.27 billion during the first quarter of 2018. Mobile usage grew by almost 25 percent in the quarter

The Eilers and Krecjik report reveals that over the past 12 months the social gaming vertical’s value has increased 20 percent to $4.72 billion, with Playtika and its Slotomania app the market leader in Q1-2018 on almost $350 million, chased by Aristocrat Technology’s social gaming division Big Fish Games on $155.7 million.

Whilst not in the double digit market share league, Playstudios’ myVegas platform and Scientific Games‘ digital division also showed strong growth.
