Social casino content developer Rocket Games was recognized by Eilers & Krejcik gaming as the fastest-growing social casino company in the fourth quarter of 2015, and one of the top 15 by revenue globally for the year.
Posting revenue growth of over 500 percent year-over-year, and over 120 percent quarter-over-quarter, Rocket was recognized for growing the classic three-reel mechanical slot genre in the social gaming arena, with hit titles Viva Slots Vegas and Triple Double Slots. Led by Rocket Games, the 3RM genre is rapidly becoming a larger and larger segment of the overall $3.3B social casino market, representing a $500 million opportunity in North America alone, according to the report.
“The 3RM category continues to show impressive growth led by Rocket Games, who has quickly become the biggest player in this category,” said Adam Krejcik, principal at Eilers & Krejcik Gaming. “3RM appears to have considerable revenue upside and early movers such as Rocket Games are well positioned.”
“It is an exciting time for Rocket Games,” said Niko Vuori, chief operating officer of Rocket Games. “To be recognized as a global leader in a multibillion-dollar market growing 20 percent year-over-year, that’s really something. And knowing that we are leading the charge in a brand new category (3RM) and growing the overall size of the market as a whole has our entire team incredibly motivated.”
The company’s flagship product, Viva Slots Vegas, has received wide praise throughout the industry, both for the quality of its game play and for its best-in-class Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). “We believe in giving the customer a great experience,” said Justin Cooper, chief creative officer of Rocket Games. “The authenticity of the experience, the feeling of being in Vegas or at your local casino, that’s what we’re striving for.”
