We are returning to the weekly releases of reports on the situation in the American mobile application market. There are no unfamiliar or new names here, but there is a fierce struggle for users’ wallets.
Box Office top American iPhone Games
Clash of Clans, which is located in the first place, we will skip. With him, everything is clear. The guys from Supercell have only two problems right now: what to do with high-level players and what to spend money on.
Candy Crush Saga has the second place. This is the second mobile project King.com Limited and the second successful. However, the ARPU of the game at the moment, judging by the ratio of its position in the free chart to the position in the grossing, is not very large. It is clear that huge sums are spent on its promotion, but it is unclear what the ROI is at the same time.
Candy, 200 levels and a total levelboard is a success!
Be that as it may, the presence of match-3 in the box office top suggests that not everyone has lost their love for casual entertainment on the market and is even ready to pay for them.
The third position is behind the paid application. Minecraft – Pocket Edition, like six months ago, costs $6.99. And we’re not sure if Markus Persson spends at least a dollar a day promoting his game. The project is advertised by numerous videos on YouTube and non-core press.
The only gambling application in the gaming top is Slotomania – Slot Machines from Playtika LTD, thanks to regular updates (three new versions of the project have been released since the end of December).
Beautiful art even in slots plays an important role
Rage of Bahamut is not visible in the top on the iPhone, for it is another DeNA project with identical mechanics – MARVEL War of Heroes.
Temple Run 2, which was hanging in the top five the other day, turned out to be out of the top. But the related Subway Surfers is in ninth place.

Box Office top American iPad Games
The key difference in the cash top of iPad apps is the presence of as many as three gambling apps in it. The Slotomania company consists of Bingo Bash HD lotto and GSN Casino compilation. Also, the HD version of Mystery Manor from Game Insight slipped into the chart. Otherwise, nothing interesting, everything is as usual: Supercell, Mojang, Backflip, EA.
Mystery Manor has been around for more than two years, but the game still has a turbulent life

There are two projects from Kabam in the second five.
The Hobbit: Kingdoms is in seventh place, Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle is in ninth. And they also say that cloning is prohibited in the USA.
