GIA SOCIAL CASINO OPERATOR OF THE YEAR: ZYNGA CASINO
CREATED: 13 FEBRUARY 2017

TO GIVE THIS AWARD TO ZYNGA CASINO MAY HAVE SEEMED UNTHINKABLE EVEN IN 2015, BUT 2016 HAS SEEN THE SOCIAL GIANT SUCCESSFULLY DIVERSIFY BEYOND ITS CORE POKER PRODUCT TO DEVELOP A THRIVING SOCIAL SLOT OFFERING.
ZYNGA DESERVES THE PRIZE for its efforts over the past year. Its HIT IT RICH! AND WIZARD OF OZ slots apps have grown to join the poker product as one of Zynga’s main sources of revenue, with the pair generating 12 per cent of the company’s Q3 total. That period also saw more than 80 per cent of revenue come from mobile.
Zynga may not be the force it once was but IT HAS SUCCEEDED IN TOTALLY OVERHAULING ITS BUSINESS, LEVERAGING ITS ASSETS AND CAPABILITIES to enter the slot sector. Social casino was once considered closed off, but Zynga was once considered dead and buried. THE FACT IT IS ONCE AGAIN MAKING WAVES IS WORTHY OF PRAISE.

MASSIVE GROWTH FOR ZYNGA POKER
14 Feb 17
2 min reading time

With a refocus on poker and mobile, Zynga reported revenue of $741 million last year despite not offering real money games.
Zynga Poker
Once again proving there is a thriving poker industry that does not rely on real money play, freeplay app Zynga Poker has shown 44% growth in 2016 compared to 2015.
PARENT COMPANY ZYNGA ALSO REPORTED AN EXCELLENT 2016, reporting revenue of $190.5 million in quarter four, which is up 4% on the previous quarter and 3% on year-on-year. Total revenue was $741 million.
FOR MANY YEARS THE FREEPLAY ZYNGA POKER APP, WHICH IS NOW TEN YEARS OLD, WAS CONSIDERED SOMETHING OF A SLEEPING GIANT IN ONLINE POKER, with predictions that it would one day open up its massive database of mobile gamers up to real money play and start a new poker boom. It did briefly experiment with real money poker only to withdraw back to the social gaming market, where most of the revenue comes from buying virtual currency.
BACK ON THE RADAR
Frank Gibeau
Zynga Poker somewhat fell off the radar of the wider poker industry in recent years, and also from Zynga's own priority list, UNTIL NOW. Zynga CEO Frank Gibeau told VentureBeat that the reason for their recent increase in revenue was a refocussing on some of their older products:
They [Words With Friends and Zynga Poker] weren’t getting enough time and attention. There wasn’t enough investment in those. It really paid off in terms of putting our best talent back onto franchises that have been around for a while and reinvigorating our player base by innovating and adding features.

Zynga Poker showed growth of 44% compared to 2015 and is ESTIMATED TO MAKE UP AROUND 20% (APPROX $148.2 MILLION) OF ZYNGA'S REVENUE LAST YEAR.
