If you take a look at the big names that appear in advertisements for mobile games, you'll know immediately that there is a ton of money to be made here. While so many of these games are so called 'free to play,' the industry around them is booming. And you will take notice.

A reason for this, could be the way that free-to-play, or freemium games, offer the player the ability to play the game for free, then decide whether to continue play.

This is a similar method used with  many sites, offer free games with the choice of using real money to gain real prizes, or in-game items. With mobile gaming providing revenues around $182.8 billion dollars, it is obvious that microtransactions has become the popular way to extend gameplay with these games.
