Emergence of a B2B Trend
Emergence of a B2B trend
Social casino has caught the
attention of offline casino
operators. Suppliers have
emerged to help these “late
bloomers go to market”.
Strategy: Create value via Loyalty
Forecast: B2B will not become
a large direct revenue source
for the offline casino operators
but may allow for increased
retention and loyalty of their
offline customer base

Social Casino: Summary
1. Social Casino is an evergreen gaming category which adapted casino
games into a non-gambling environment
2. The social casino market has shown consistent growth since inception and
commands a non-trivial share of the social & mobile gaming market
3. The social casino market is dominated by four types of interested parties.
slot manufacturers, offline casinos, online RMG operators, and social
gaming companies
4. Growth will come from mobile, regional opportunities, and in-game
optimization
5. The Asian opportunity is mind-blowing!
6. A social casino B2B trend is emerging. It will not be significant in terms of
revenues but rather will be a retention tool for the offline casinos.
7. Consolidation continues as social casino revenues grow and both the social
gaming and casino giants want a piece of the pie
