Social casino games

Social casino games the highlight at 2013's Casual Connect conference | GamesBeat | Games | by Dean Takahashi: "Social casino games take the old card games and slot machines and turn them into more social experiences. They are usually free-to-play games, where players can spend real money on virtual coins but can’t cash them out. As such, they are considered entertainment and not gambling. In real-money online gambling, players spend real money and can take home real winnings. Real-money online gambling is seeing a resurgence as regulators seeking tax revenues are beginning to permit it in various jurisdictions around the world. Social casino games are benefiting from that resurgence as well as renewed interest in casino games as social experiences. Eilers Research said today that Caesar’s Interactive Entertainment has now surpassed Zynga as the largest social casino game publisher in the world thanks to the success of its Caesar’s Casino, Bingo Blitz, and Slotomania titles. These have 18 percent of the market, while Zynga’s social casino games have 15 percent, followed by IGT with 14 percent."
