Categorizing Key Players
Early movers
Key theme: being early on a sector call and successfully executing can pay huge dividends over the long-run.
Gaming Equipment Suppliers
Key theme: Land-based content serves a key competitive advantage due to superior monetization (better
Math), retention (familiarity with certain slot titles)
Social gaming companies
Key theme: acquiring studios with developers / professionals with former real-money gaming experience helps
ensure better math / designs / content leading to increased probability of success.
Asia focused
Key theme: large opportunity for local players who can partner with platform providers (Tencent, Qihoo),
penetrate secondary Android game market, and localized Chinese poker.
New incumbents
Key theme: can still be disruptive if you can find niche i.e. rewards, innovation, social, etc.
Gaming Supplier Strategies
M&A Strategic Partnerships Licensing
Casino Operator Strategies
M&A / Investments B2B / White label Internally developed
User Acquisition Trends
The trend is clearly upwards (CPI has roughly tripled since CY13) reflecting increased competition
in the social casino category, flattish DAUs for the casino category, and general price inflation
observed across the entire mobile app ecosystem.

We est. social casino game companies will spend over $1blnn marketing (mostly UA) in CY17.
Most of that money will flow to the big-2 (Facebook & Google), but still a number of smaller
agencies capitalizing on fast growing market.
Est. 80% market share for social casino UA spend Est. 20% market share in UA spend (social casino)

• Approx. $8bn worth of M&A transactions over the past 5-years in
social casino gaming, incl. mega-$4.4bn sale of Playtika to Chinese
consortium and $825M DoubleU/DoubleDown deal.
• There has been considerable amount of consolidation over the past 5-
years resulting in a “top-heavy” industry and now very few private
companies with meaningful scale.

Key factors that typically impact valuation:
• Revenue, growth rates, and diversification
• Profitability & scale
• Talent, R&D, and Platform (front & backend)
• Mobile vs. Web revenue mix
• Geographic revenue concentration
