Social casino games have become a multibillion-dollar worldwide market, and now mobile is becoming a bigger share of the revenues, according to a report on first-quarter revenues by market analyst firm Eilers Research.

Mobile now accounts for 46 percent of all social casino game revenues worldwide. In the first quarter, mobile grew 13.8 percent from the previous quarter, while Facebook desktop social casino game revenues were down 0.8 percent. Mobile is expected to become the majority in the next quarter or so. That marks a shift that’s consistent across the board with many digital game categories.
