Chinese Gaming Revenues Decline for the First Time in Years

The China Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association (CADPA) and the China Game Industry Research Institute jointly released a report on China’s gaming industry for the first half of the year.
According to the report, total revenue in China’s game industry was CNY 147.78 billion (USD 21.88 billion), a year-on-year decrease of 1.8%. Revenue from mobile games, accounting for 74.75% of total industry revenue, declined for the first time ever. From 667 million during last year’s Spring Festival (February 2021), the total number of users has fluctuated below 666 million, a year-on-year decrease of 0.13%. The main reason for the decline in revenue and users, CADPA thinks, is COVID, leading to decreased consumption and higher corporate costs. Also, there are several obvious factors behind the gaming industry’s troubles, for example, the government has almost frozen approvals of new games.
The government’s ongoing squeeze on the “platform economy” has resulted in hefty fines for Tencent, Alibaba and various other tech companies for monopolistic behavior, reducing their appetite for new product development and marketing in gaming and other sectors in which the government takes a dim view.

SHINE ON DRAGON’S DIAMONDS

This text contains puns. Reader discretion is advised.
“Dragon’s Diamonds” is now live, a fang-tastic 6×5 new scatter-pays slot from the Berlin-based developer Hölle Games with wins of up to 12,000x.
Unlike the miserly reputation they’re known for (a tall tail), the Hölle Dragon is a generous beast (with a fiery personality). With every matching cluster that lands, the Dragon will breathe flames onto the reels – removing winning symbols and allowing more to fall into place. There is no limit to the number of potential cascades that can occur here, so lucky players can quickly scale-up their hoard of wins.
Plus, hitting 4 or more scatters to enter the Free Spins will unlock the Feature Multiplier, which cumulates all Multiplier wins across the entirety of the Free Spins. Re-triggers can be clawed out too, with only 3 scatters needed.
For any players who find the base game is dragon-on, there is the Stake Boost feature, which increases the chances of hitting the Feature for a slightly higher stake, or also the option of directly entering Free Spins via the Feature Buy. That’s no fire-drill!
The game is now available for MGA with other territories winging it this way soon.
