Top-Grossing Android games: Crime City reports upsurge in sales

Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the top-grossing Android gaming applications, as current that day at Google Play. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Rage of Bahamut and Slotomania leading today's rankings, as Crime City and Draw Something also report top earnings. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money on Google Play that day. It differs significantly from the Top Paid Games chart, which is ranked by sales, and therefore is dominated by lower-priced titles that sell more copies. Data comes courtesy of Google's public sales information. All titles in Google Play's "Games" category are considered in chart rankings. This week's top-grossing Android titles are: 1. Rage of Bahamut (Mobage, Free) 2. Slotomania (Playtika, Free) 3. Zynga Poker (Zynga, Free) 4. Slot City: Slot Machines (Dragonplay, Free) 5. Live Holdem Poker Pro (Dragonplay, Free) 6. Crime City (Funzio, Free) 7. Draw Something (OMGPOP, $2.99) 8. Tiny Village (TinyCo, Free) 9. Tap Fish (Gameview, Free) 10. Smurfs' Village (Beeline, Free) Mobage's Rage of Bahamut ranks as Google Play's highest-grossing app for the ninth week in a row, while Zynga Poker moves up to challenge Playtika's Slotomania at third place. Funzio's social criminal empire sim Crime City reports a surge in microtransaction sales this week that puts it ahead of OMGPOP's Draw Something, as Tap Fish and Smurfs' Village close out today's top ten.
