Caesar’s Interactive rules social casino games again in Q3 — but its revenue doesn’t grow

Caesar’s Interactive Entertainment held its position as the No. 1 social casino gaming publisher in the third quarter, according to market research firm Eilers Research. But overall revenue in the sector was flat in quarter.

Growth in the mobile and tablet sector wasn’t able to offset a 7 percent decline in Facebook social casino game revenues. During the quarter, Caesar’s launched Caesar’s Slots and World Series of Poker (previously licensed to Electronic Arts). Slotmania, the marquee title for Caesar’s, saw its revenue fall during the quarter. It’s not clear if this was a result of a shift in marketing spending to the new titles or fatigue with the mainstay game. Overall, Caesar’s has 15 percent of the market.
