The concept of free game exists in land-based casinos as well; however, it is more prominent in online casinos.

The primary objective of offering free play mode is to attract new players.
Application Insights:
Based on the application, the global social casino market is segmented into free games and toll games. The free game segment dominated the overall market in terms of revenue in 2017. This is attributed to a large number of players who prefer playing for fun rather than real money and also due to an increasing number of mobile casinos that offer this game type. Furthermore, this category includes slots as well as card/board games where players can win real money by betting on their luck.
The toll gaming segment is expected to grow at a faster rate over the forecast period owing to its ability for users to make bets with fractions of dollars and play against friends or strangers from around the world via internet connections or mobile data networks.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing adoption of social games in China and Japan. In 2016, Chinese players spent around USD X billion on in-app purchases for games, whereas Japanese players spent around USD X billion on such purchases for casual and arcade style games.
North America region accounted for more than 30% revenue share in 2017 owing to high usage of casino style apps among smartphone users living in U.S.
