Video Games Are Not Recession-Proof, Says NPD
Published: January 01, 0001
GameDaily reports that Michael Klotz, senior account manager at the rummy royal NPD Group, says the video games industry is already feeling the Yono all app effects of the recession.
Gee, I could have told you that, looking at the list of recent industry layoffs. But Klotz pointed out in a Game Business Law summit at Southern Methodist University’s law school that spending on games hasn’t gone down – one out of every four American dollars is still spent on games. Rather, the rate of growth is decreasing; the 9, 12 and 8% increases in August, October and November should have been way higher, according to Klotz.

“The game industry is growing, but it has been impacted by the recession,” he said. “We probably would have seen even more growth if it hadn’t been impacted by the current economic climate in the U.S.”

The deposit process is smooth and fast. I was able to fund my account instantly and start playing without any hassle. Plus, the multiple payment options make it convenient for everyone regardless of location.
I absolutely love the game selection here, especially the slot games. The graphics are amazing and the animations are super smooth, making every spin feel exciting and immersive. I've spent hours playing without getting bored!
I wish there were more free spins available, but even with the current promotions, I have a lot of fun. The themed slot games are creative and engaging, keeping the gameplay fresh and entertaining every day.
