Industry revenue hits $3–3.5B in 2015 after ~$2.7B in 2014, with 50% by top five players and over $2B of M&A in four years (DoubleDown ~$500M, Big Fish ~$900M). Facebook canvas plateaus while mobile/ tablet growth overtakes web since mid‑2013. Average player age is ~52, slots drive ~75% of some publishers’ revenue, and viable product costs start at $2M production with $10M+ marketing. Free‑to‑play behavior differs from real‑money play and legalization does not noticeably cannibalize users.
