Ownership of a smartphone alone increases the likelihood that a consumer will play mobile games. Over 90% of smartphone users play a mobile game at least once a week. In recent years, there has been a move towards mobile games which are distributed free to the end user, but carry prominent, paid advertising. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_game
