Downloadable games are really hot right now. Some game producers are advertising no ads, free cruises and are spending big bucks to have movie, TV and music stars tout their games.
I was trying to figure out how they could offer these games with no ads; and I think they must charge you when you run out of lives or want to purchase accessories.
Gold Fish Slots - John Stamos does the commercial.
Royal Kingdom - Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow
Kevin Hart
Jimmy Fallon
LeBron James
Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco
Bingo Blitz - Smokey Robinson
Drew Barrymore
Jackpot Party Casino - Joel McHale - They are giving away one cruise per day.
I found this latest trend to be very interesting, especially with the amount of money that game producers are willing to spend to advertise their games.

Pretty is always telling me she wants to download games on my phone to "give me something to do". 
I keep telling her I keep busy enough watching videos on my laptop, reading books on my phone and talking on myLot... I don't NEED more things to keep me busy.
Once in a while, she takes my phone and downloads a game on it anyway and then I delete the game as soon as she gives my phone back to me. 
My phone is old and I don't want to stress it any more than it gets from me reading my books on it.

I don't blame you. Some people play those games all day long.

@LindaOHio I don't take my phone online. I only take my laptop or my tablet online and I don't let her touch my tablet...
She spends a lot of time gaming but normally uses her desktop to play them.

@DaddyEvil I have 200 games downloaded on my computer; but I've lost interest in them. I used to play a lot.

I have heard of Royal z kingdom several times. A cruise a day sounds even better long they don't use their own ship.

@LindaOHio If you look hard enough you might be able to find a cruise for the disabled.

I wish I had time to spend on my phone playing games! I used to have a handful on my phone that I played with my kids when they were younger, but it's been years since I last played a game on my phone. I barely have time to be on myLot on my phone!

I have the time...just not the inclination. I used to love to play cards, board games and word puzzles.

A lot of them aren't spending a lot of money for it. Most of those people don't have a lot going on.

And you can't play them on a PC which is a shame.

I had a game in my old phone …it was a farm , you had to buy stock, keep them fed, collect their produce and sell…..and carry on and on ….just adding more and more …..it was a great game but very addictive so when I got my new phone I made the decision not to upload it . I found I was busy with other things and didn’t really miss it.

I found it interesting that these companies were willing to spend so much money hiring the celebrities.

I don't do games but I find it odd how many big stars are hawking them.
