Synergy Blue: 70% of casinos say they plan to add skill-based games

More than 70 percent of 100 casinos surveyed said that they plan to adopt skill-based games, or those where it takes skill to win, in the future. The survey was done by Synergy Blue, a creator of skill-based games and platforms.

You would, of course, expect Synergy Blue to say that, as it wants to provide skill games to casinos. But we see a fair amount of validation out there from other sources. Skillz, which gives real-money prizes for skill-based mobile game esports, is one a $400 million revenue run rate. And other startups are going after the casino market, as it’s clear the casinos risk losing the audience of younger millennials who love video games and don’t play slot machines.
