It is worth over $131.2 billion and accounts for over 50% of the net worth of the entire gaming sector. Although many hard-core gamers disapprove of mobile gaming or look down on anyone that calls themselves a gamer but plays mobile games, there is no denying that mobile games have come a long way since the early days of the App Store and Google Play Store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Today they represent a go-to gaming destination for a broad demographic of users that includes experienced gamers and non-gamers. Below, we will explore why mobile gaming has become so successful and a great competitor in the gaming market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Accessibility<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Accessibility is one of the primary reasons for the enormous success of mobile gaming. That is the opportunity to access any game from your smartphone easily, and let&#8217;s face it is far easier, more accessible, and more convenient to use any smartphone than a computer or laptop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can play any game of your choice on the go, and as long as you have a stable Internet connection, you can download even more games since it takes only a couple of seconds for a mobile game to be installed on your devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Furthermore, with the improved capabilities of smartphones and the deployment of 5G, providers have even more opportunities to develop a large selection of mobile games. At the same time, the demand for smartphones has reached an all-time high, with over 8 billion smartphone owners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Because we spend an increasing amount of our free time on our smartphones. The gaming sector leveraged that by creating all kinds of mobile games appealing to different target audiences, including brain-training games, puzzles, hyper-casual games, racing games, action games, and many other mobile games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In case you&#8217;re interested in casino games, you will also find that many casino sites have mobile-optimized platforms. You will be able to try luck with a wide variety of games, including slots, baccarat craps, and many more in different versions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many iGaming providers decided to completely revamp their collection and create mobile-friendly casino games suitable for Android and iOS devices. So, on the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/topcasinos.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">top 10 online casino<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0sites, the collection of casino games is optimized for mobile use, and you can play any game on your smartphone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Affordability<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Affordability is a huge factor that appeals to a large audience of mobile users. First, smartphones come in loads of different models, and while there are pretty high-end expensive smartphones like the latest iPhone, there are many affordable choices that also allow you to play most mobile games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In addition, the game selection, available on the App Store and the Google Play store, is very affordable because most mobile games come free of charge; even though some games have in-app purchases, most of their content is available for free. When it comes to premium titles, their price is around $0.80. In contrast, if we take the average cost of a\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.playdeb.net\/history-of-video-games-timeline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">video game<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which is approximately $50-60,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbestechcouncil\/2021\/05\/17\/mobile-gamings-increase-during-uncertain-times-three-trends\/?sh=12f07e2a5cc9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">mobile gaming<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0is a more affordable option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Varied User Base<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Most hard-core gamers are ready to pay a premium price for video games, game consoles, or the latest gaming gear. But, mobile gaming has a varied\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/side-hustle-how-to-know-your-target-audience-2021-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">target audience<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0of mobile users that are not necessarily gamers per se.
