Zynga and social games

Zynga was founded in April 2007 by Mark Pinicus. There first game was Texas Hold 'Em for Facebook and there logo is a bulldog. As of now there are 333 million users and there website is www.zynga.com. It has an estimated worth of 7 billion.

There are two ways that Zynga make money, one of the ways is using real money in minor credit card payments to pay for things in the game that are needed to make you progress, for example on texas hold em poker you can purchase more chips from your credit card or bank card to help you progress in the game.

Another way they make money is advertising, they sell some of there space to companies that pay well to advertise there business on Zynga games.

Farmville 2 is in 3D, and also doesn't let you bring in things from your farmville, meaning people will pay again to reach a higher level or a better farm, generating revenue for Zynga.
