What are social games?


A social game is a game designed to
interact with other players on any level

 If the user chooses to play a social
  game all alone, they’ll limit their
  own game experience.

Why are casinos and suppliers targeting social
4   networks and platforms?
To access a significant and growing
communication channel
The global social casino market is thought to
have doubled in value since 2011 to $1.6bn.
Forecasted growth to $2.4bn by 2015.




                                                Source: VentureBeat
 Since 2010 the number of social gamers
playing social casino style games has doubled

Better connect with a targeted demographic




The above is a typical split for social casino players
 Player demographics are the same as land based slots players
             Women over 43 years of age
 Of top spenders 70% are female

A standalone business model

  In July 2012, IGT said
   that revenues
   increased 13% largely
   due to the growth of
   the company’s
   interactive unit.

  This includes Double
   Down.



                            IGT’s first contribution to Double Down from its games library
No regulatory hurdles… yet!

 Calls by some including William Hill
  (UK) to regulate social casual casino
  games to create “a level playing
  field”

 It would be short sighted not to
  expect a degree of regulatory
  oversight at some point

 The Question is when….?
Huge potential pool of players
                          Social                                               Remote

Clearly the huge numbers of players on social would be
of great interest to gaming operators
                                                                 Source: AppData, Annual reports of relevant companies
How can casino marketers take advantage of
5   current trends?
If you want to…

  Engage with your existing customers
  Acquire new customers for your casino
  Provide a better service with more
   information
  Distribute appropriate offers direct to
   customers who will respond positively
  Access a younger demographic
  Access a large untapped player base
  Increase your casino revenue
You should consider

   1    Building for MOBILE


   2    Creating a MOBILE specific marketing strategy


   3    Integrating your ad campaigns with MOBILE


   4    Creating specific MOBILE focused promotions


  5    Integrate your Casino with SOCIAL & MOBILE
But essentially you should embrace…


  Smartphones + Games + Social
          Networks
Most respondents (survey by Kontagent) believe there
 is still room for new entrants
SUCCESS!
