Most popular mobile games

We might be downloading more gaming apps than ever before, but what type of games are we playing? Along with new games and titles, we are also picking up apps with classic games like Monopoly, Draughts, and Chess. The latter has been growing in popularity since Netflix released The Queen’s Gambit series and has since had people wanting to try out chess again themselves.

Along with these gaming apps, others are choosing to play more casino games on the move. There are a number of trusted and respected casinos now offering an app that their members can download to play online slots, blackjack, roulette, and even live dealer games.

1. Hyper Casual games

Hyper-casual games are becoming so popular because they are easy to learn and understand. They are also very addictive and so its audience comprises of all genders and age groups. These games have very simple mechanics and that results in players’ engagement for a long time.

Idle Games thrive from not being played, which seems counter-intuitive as most games strive to include as much content as possible. Playing Idle Games is almost as easy as not playing them. Many will generate resources even when you’re not playing them.

This makes it very easy to hop on the game for a short amount of time, spend said resources, and ignore it for a while again. Since the rise of Cookie Clicker almost a decade ago, Idle Games have been gaining popularity in the gaming industry
