Game playing has been a primary form of entertainment throughout history. The first known dice play came 3,000 years ago. The first board games popped up on the scene in Egypt around 5,000 years ago. Backgammon, which appeared in the sixth or seventh century, is still popular today. And the earliest variations of chess were spotted in the sixth century. As society and cutlures evolved, the popularity of games didn’t diminish. Board games and games of skill evolved and continued to thrive and flourish. When computers hit the scene in the 20th century, games skill evolved right along with society. People began playing popular games like chess and backgammon on the computer. Then computers began to get more memory, faster processors and better graphics. And a new generation of skill-based games began to evolve. As computing power grew, so did the quality of games. Little kids who grew up playing the mostly text-based Oregon Trail graduated to SimCity in their 20s. And through it all, the desire to compete and prove your skill level remained at the heart of the game. SKILL GAMING INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
