Games industry welcomes first generation of pensioner gamers
Companies in the East of England are preparing to welcome the first generation of pensioner gamers, more than half a century after the first home video game hit the market. People who have grown up playing games are hungry for new, more sophisticated games, which has prompted start-ups in places including Norwich to compete with more established companies like Jagex, Ninja Theory and Frontier Developments, all based in Poole, chief executive of Ukie, the trade body representing the UK's gaming industry, said: "It's been the most incredible 50 years."We're about to see the first-ever generation of pensioner gamers.. it's amazing." Part of the recent success is down to what he describes as the "crossover" phenomenon, with TV and film adapting video games like The Last of Us and Fallout."The transformation of the role of games in people's lives as a form of entertainment has been beyond anything we could have imagined 40 years ago," he said."I think the reason is if you love the world and you enjoyed playing it in-game, then you want to spend time watching and living it in other media as well." Rich Newbold is a game director at one of the country's biggest gaming companies, Frontier Developments in began working in the industry in the early 2000s."We've been around for 30 years, growing from a team of people working on a farm in Ely to where we are now," he said."When I joined the company there were only 70 of us. Now, there are about 600."Frontier makes several different types of games including Planet Coaster 2 and Planet Zoo, where players can run their own F1 team, explore space, and build theme parks and his time in the gaming business, he has seen demand grow cites the Covid pandemic as a turning point."Appetites have grown. Video games can bring joy but more than that, they fulfil a need as people prioritise leisure time," he said. Figures from Ukie reflect the boom in estimates 2,400 people worked in the games industry in the East of England in there are more than 3,105, across 160 games industry in the East contributes about £212m to the economy, up from £122m in 2016. Iz Head, 23, is one of those who has entered the competitive industry in that co-founded Moss Monkey in their final year at Norwich University of the Arts, after their mother suggested gaming as a career."The gaming scene is growing massively in Norwich at the moment," they said."I absolutely love it. We're at a point where tonnes of new studios are coming through; tonnes of new games."Their current game, Outclaw, features a spirit cat called Giblet which travels around the world, causing chaos wherever it goes."It's been brilliant to work on, but a lot of hours have been put in applying for grants," they added that there had been periods where they had considered other sources of income such as part-time jobs, but then it would take twice as long to get the game out there. Their story chimes with Mark Backler, founder of Sketchbook Games, also based in Norwich."Gaming can give you a broad, diverse career and while there's a good degree of support for start-ups, more could be done," he said."France and Canada have world-class support and tax relief for the games industry. Any more that could be done would make a huge difference, especially against our main competitors in the US and Japan."His current video game, Lost Words, is based on a book written by Rhianna Pratchett, daughter of Discworld series author Terry Pratchett, and is about a character who uses the fantasy world to deal with Backler believes the growth of the industry could explode as games become more sophisticated."There are lots of different roles that you can do within games," he said."It's not just programming. There's composing the music and making the sound effects."There's writing the story, there's production, there's marketing and as games evolve, you never know, economists might play a part, or even architects."

NetEnt's Best Games In 2025
NetEnt is one of the leading slot developers in the iGaming industry. They have collected this title due to the notable reputation they have gathered over the years. NetEnt was founded in 1996 in Stockholm, Sweden, and since its beginnings, it has released over 440 games. This count includes various games, with a wide variety of online slots, mixed with a number of card games, live casino games, and other casino releases. All the titles released by NetEnt have helped them stand out as a leading force in the iGaming industry and become so popular over the years. NetEnt offers an impressive collection of online slots, designed to appeal to a wide range of gamers with cutting-edge visuals and unique play mechanics. Each game boasts unique themes and innovative mechanics, creating exciting slot experiences that capture the imagination of gamers. As a leading provider in the gaming industry, NetEnt is committed to continued growth, consistently enhancing its visuals and mechanics to align with the latest trends and standards in iGaming. In this article, we will cover our top 5 online slot games by NetEnt right now. Dead or Alive 2 Dead or Alive 2 is an online slot game released in 2019 that is a sequel to the original NetEnt title, Dead or Alive. The game follows the theme of the original title, utilising a Western setting, which is evident in the visuals used. The game takes place in a Wild Western town that features many cowboy-style elements, including the symbols on the reels. The translucent playgrid allows users to enjoy the detailed graphics of the slot. A range of saloons sit under a detailed skyline featuring dark clouds, flashing lightning beams, and a contrasting sunset. This slot offers an array of bonus features that combine with the high-quality visuals to create a fun gaming experience. The main bonus symbol in this slot is the free spins feature, where players can choose from 3 unique free spins games. The games include the Old Saloon, High Noon Saloon, and Train Heist, and each game features unique elements that make for a fun and unique bonus game. The free spins feature is activated when players land 3 or more scatters across the reels in a single spin. Starburst Starburst is an online slot developed by NetEnt in 2013 that remains popular today. Its decade-long popularity is a testament to the game's longevity, including sleek, simple, and effective visuals. The reels are set up in outer space, which is the game's main theme. Displays include a background of deep space with many stars and meteors that add to the game's elements. The gameplay in Starburst is quite simplistic in comparison to some of the blockbuster titles we see released today, with a traditional 5×3 playgrid and 10 fixed paylines used here. The game features a basic bonus feature in the form of the wild mechanic that substitutes for other base symbols to form or increase matching symbol combinations where possible. Also, this wild mechanic triggers a respin, with the maximum number of respins being three. Twin Spin Twin Spin is another classic online slot, released in 2013, that remains popular today. The slot features a traditional classic fruit machine theme, evident in the symbols that can be landed on the reels. The background visuals are simplistic, featuring different shades of purple and blue in a pattern. The simplistic visuals may seem appealing to those who prefer a more straightforward gameplay experience, and the aged game still being popular to date is a credit to the developers and how they constructed this slot. The gameplay in Twin Spin features a 5×3 grid with 243 paylines, which was uncommon at the time of release and made the game a popular title amongst players as it was ahead of its time. The game features a Twin Reel feature, which means two reels show identical symbols on reels lined up next to one another. This Twin Reel feature can extend to 3, 4, or even 5 reels. Fruit Shop Megaways Fruit Shop Megaways is a sequel to the original Fruit Shop slot, released in 2021. The game is light on changes from its original; it has just implemented the Megaways mechanic, which means the number of symbols on each of the 6 reels changes each spin, making for varying paylines. The Fruit Shop Megaways slot features a fruity theme, which is shown in the slot's visuals. The playgrid is set in a fruit shop, which features an array of fruits used as symbols, and the background is simple but effective, with contrasting bushes, grass, and a bright blue sky. Wild symbols and a free spins round make up the bonus features in Fruit Shop Megaways. The wild symbol can substitute for all base symbols to create matching combinations, and the free spins bonus round awards players with free spins on the reels if they trigger the feature.
