NEW DELHI, 9th September, 2023 (WAM) — The United Arab Emirates will work alongside the Governments

DUBAI, UAE, September 7, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — The Next World Forum, a gaming event held in Riyadh on August 30th and 31st, gathered influential figures from the global gaming and esports industry. Organized by the Saudi Esports Federation, it served as a platform for industry discussions, emphasizing the esports economy’s rapid growth and the presence of key industry players.

The Next World Forum (NWF) not only provides an innovative opportunity to accelerate sector growth through investment and collaboration but also serves as a platform for intellectual exchange, discourse, and discussions to design the future and highlight potential. NWF serves as a meeting point for gaming and esports stakeholders to collaborate and share knowledge. It covers themes such as the esports economy, AI development, and the world’s fastest-growing games.

Prominent figures from global gaming companies, including Epic Games, Ubisoft, Roblox, Bandai Namco, Tencent, and Atari, participated in the event, alongside H.R.H Prince Faisal bin Bandar Al Saud, Chairman of Board of Directors of Saudi Esports Federation. Alexander Harutyunyan, Co-Founder and Chief Publishing Officer at Creta, also joined as a speaker, introducing Creta, a high-performance public blockchain Web3-based multiverse platform, which received significant interest from the audience. Creta’s presentation at the global event, NWF, signifies its entrance into the Middle Eastern gaming market and reflects its commitment to making strides in this region.

Creta, headquartered in Dubai, UAE, is a Web3-based metaverse gaming platform company. It comprises developers, publishers, and blockchain experts renowned in the global gaming industry. Notable figures include producer Ray Nakazato, Alexander Harutyunyan (former CEO of European game publisher INNOVA), and Seok-ho Yoon, CEO of CCR, known for developing Korea’s National Game Fortress. Yoshiki Okamoto, known for games like Street Fighter 2 and Monster Strike, is a key partner in the project, making Creta a contender in the competitive Web3 metaverse platform ecosystem.

With such prominent individuals involved, Creta is expected to lead the way in creating the most competitive Web3 metaverse platform ecosystem.

Creta’s platform development is led by Diverse, a Korean company with strong expertise in high-performance game engine technology and outstanding graphic capabilities. The Web3-based platform utilizes the high-performance public blockchain, Locus Chain, to create a massive multiverse that differs from existing metaverses. This multiverse is capable of combining and expanding numerous metaverses while maintaining photorealistic visual quality.

Creta offers four main components in its comprehensive Web3 platform service: Creta Multiverse (an endlessly expandable multiverse), Creta Game Platform (servicing Web2 and Web3 games), Creta Studio (enabling high-quality game and content creation), and Creta SuperClub (a Web3 community platform connecting the entire Creta platform).

The ability to provide such an extensive Web3 platform service is largely attributed to the use of Locus GameChain, which dramatically reduces server costs and addresses scalability issues through the utilization of the high-performance Locus Chain blockchain.

Alexander Harutyunyan, Co-Founder the Chief Publishing Officer of Creta, expressed his aspirations by stating, “During this event, we saw how interested the government is and how big the gaming and metaverse scene is in the Middle East. With Creta, we’re looking to show what the future holds for Web3 metaverse platforms and create a whole new gaming market in the Middle East.”

Creta is currently preparing for the early access service of SuperClub, a Web3 community platform, scheduled for October. Additionally, they plan to conduct a Closed Beta Test (CBT) of their first metaverse world by the end of the year.

A recent report by Lottalytics Research, titled “VA Lottery Market Analysis 2021-2031”, has highlighted the significant growth and potential of the VA Lottery.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, August 30, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — The latest report by Lottalytics Market Research, titled “VA Lottery Market Analysis 2021-2031”, has highlighted the significant growth and potential of the VA Lottery. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market, including current trends, growth drivers, va lottery results, and future projections. As of 2021, the VA Lottery market was valued at $300.60 billion and is projected to reach $430.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2022 to 2031.

The lottery has been a part of human culture for centuries. In Virginia, residents participate in the lottery for various reasons, including the thrill of the challenge, the potential financial rewards, and the sheer enjoyment of the game. The primary motivations for purchasing lottery tickets in the state include the aspiration to win big, feeling lucky, curiosity, and the entertainment value of the game.

A significant driver for the VA Lottery’s growth is the increasing accessibility of the internet and the widespread use of devices such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones. The digital transformation has made online lottery systems more dominant, with the demand for mobile-based lottery experiences on the rise.

However, the lottery market faces challenges in the form of stringent regulations in various regions. While the VA Lottery enjoys popularity, it’s essential to note that many countries have strict lottery rules or have banned them altogether. For instance, in countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, lotteries are prohibited. Even within countries, the legality of lotteries can vary by state or region. High taxes on lottery prizes and tickets in some areas can also hinder market growth.

In terms of lottery types, the lotto segment dominated the market in 2021, holding a significant share. However, scratch-off instant games are expected to witness the fastest growth, with a projected CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period.

On the application front, offline lottery stores held the majority market share in 2021. However, the online lottery segment is predicted to experience the highest growth rate, with a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.

The report also profiles key players in the VA Lottery market, including INTRALOT, MDJS, Camelot Group, Florida Lottery, Francaise des Jeux, Mizuho Bank Ltd., Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, Hong Kong Jockey Club, Singapore Pools, and California Lottery.

Key Takeaways from the Study:

The lotto segment held the majority market share in 2021, with scratch-off instant games expected to be the fastest-growing segment.

36% of Japan’s 14 million youth 18 years and under are gamers

SILICON VALLEY, CA, USA, August 21, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Niko Partners, the world’s leading market research firm covering video games and esports in Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, today announced the results of its latest findings on Japan’s youth gamers. Insights from the research show that 46% of Japanese gamers aged 16-18 and 67% of parents of Japanese youth aged 6-18 believe that it is parents who should be in charge of supervising children’s gaming time, not government. As gaming is considered a national pastime in the country, where gaming has a rich history, most Japanese parents in our survey have a favorable view towards gaming.

“Our report looks closely at the gaming behavior of Japan’s youth and the parental opinions about playing all types of video games,” said Lisa Hanson, CEO and founder of Niko Partners. “We found that foreign game titles, esports, and game livestreaming are much more popular among Japan youth than among older gamers, who historically have gravitated to domestic IP. There is an opportunity for non-Japanese gaming companies to expand and increase their presence in Japan, as the country’s youth gamers is a potential market on its own.”

Key takeaways from this report include:
• Most youth gamers play on console (72%) followed by mobile (64%) and then PC (15%). Parents favor consoles due to increased visibility and control over gaming content compared to other platforms.

• Youth gamers play an average of 8 hours per week on mobile, compared to 6.5 hours on PC and console.

• Japanese youth are more receptive than adult gamers to foreign game titles, esports, game livestreaming, and VTubers. Nearly 46% of Japanese youth are drawn into esports and competitive games, compared to 12% of overall Japanese gamers.

• Premium games still play a large role in Japan, primarily due to the popularity of consoles, and are the most popular individual purchase made by youth gamers.

• Parents of Japanese youth are generally accepting of video games as a means of entertainment and are more likely to be gamers themselves.

• The majority of both parents and youth in general believe that control over children’s game time should be managed by each family, rather than by the government or game companies, with 70% of parents and 46% of youth agreeing with this.

Niko Partners surveyed more than 300 parents of youth gamers aged 6-18 and more than 90 gamers aged 16-18 for this report. We also conducted interviews with parents, teachers, and industry experts while complementing our research and analysis with publicly disclosed data of related institutions and insights from other Niko’s reports and services. The Japan Youth Gamers Report offers recommendations for companies looking to tap into the Japan youth gamers market.
