Big Fish Company announced yesterday, April 23, that Big Fish Casino has become the highest-grossing App Store app in the world in the “casino” category. In the box office top in all categories, the game is not even in the top ten.
There are rumors on the sidelines of the industry that gambling will surpass all other applications in terms of revenue. And, to be honest, a year ago, when there were up to 3-4 slots, casinos and poker games in the top ten of cash applications, it seemed that this would happen. However, today the market situation is completely different.
Big Fish Casino, which, according to Big Fish and App Annie, earns more money in the “casino” category than any other game in the world, in the cash top, for example, the USA is on the 22nd position. It is in the top ten in terms of income only in three countries: Bahrain, Jamaica and Armenia.
In the UK, where a special version of the application has been released in which you can play for real money, the game is not even included in a hundred cash applications. And Big Fish itself is in no hurry to brag about its financial results. On the other hand, it is not a fact that the financial transactions carried out by Betable are recorded by Apple.
In any case, at the moment mobile gambling is far from the income of giants like Clash of Clans and Puzzle & Dragons.
