Top-Grossing Android games: Drag Racing: Bike Edition rivals Zynga Poker

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 Zynga Poker and Drag Racing: Bike Edition leading today's rankings, as Rage of Bahamut and Defender II 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.

Zynga Poker (Zynga - Free) 2. Drag Racing: Bike Edition (Creative Mobile - Free) 3. Live Holdem Poker Pro (Dragonplay - Free) 4. Rage of Bahamut (Mobage - Free) 5. Draw Something (Zynga - $0.99) 6.
