What this article doesn't mention and I really don't see talked about often is how a lot of these ftp games are also designed to mimic elements of slot machines with the graphics and overall user experience. The bright colors, clinking sounds, big text popping up saying you did great, the animations added with a little more dazzle and it's all made to be very overwhelming on your senses.
THAT is the foundation of the games, step one, to keep you playing. Watch those ads and maybe spend money. The rest of it is targeting whales Frankly I hate this shit it makes me feel like I'm being treated as if I'm a child.
