GamesBeat panel spotlight: Social casino games move to the main stage

Social casino games have become a hot market in the past couple of years, but some of the froth is gone and big acquisitions have brought major players into the space. What will happen next? Was it a fad, or will it keep on gaining market share on other kinds of games? What’s the best way to make money, and what will happen when real-money gambling arrives in the U.S.? We’ve assembled a panel of seers who are making big bets in this market to give you the answers.

We’ll evaluate the landscape of social casino games at our GamesBeat 2013 conference in a main stage session on day one. The event is Oct. 29-Oct. 30 at the Sofitel Hotel in Redwood City, Calif. What we’ve seen so far is that social casino games have become one of the most competitive markets in all of gaming, and that some big players are maneuvering into the market.
