As the weather heats up, it’s only appropriate to look at some of the hottest types of games people will be playing this summer. From online gambling to social gaming, we’ve got it all covered, so let’s take a look and see what we can expect to really hit home in the next few months.
Crypto gambling in the hot season
People have always wanted to gamble and with crypto such a hot property, it was always inevitable people would use it to gamble. Cryptocurrency casinos are one of both gaming and gambling’s fastest growing properties. With betting with Bitcoin well-established, eyes are now turning to other cryptos for their gambling needs, with Ethereum casinos fast becoming a popular alternative for a lot of players. Although things vary from site to site, there’s a good chance you’ll see virtual slots, poker, and blackjack. And the best thing is that there are really quick deposit and withdrawal times, plus easy sign-up processes, so if you want to play, you don’t have to go through any hassle to go gambling this summer.
Social play, the summer way

Summer is a time when people like to meet up with friends, so what better way for gaming buddies to celebrate this time of year than with some socially minded games. Whether its Nintendo’s classic, ground-breaking, Mario Party minigame series, the Jackbox Party Pack games, where you can use your phone as a controller, or the wacky social deduction game Goose Goose Duck, getting your friends along to celebrate your collective love of gaming and have a blast while doing so is something to make those long evenings go by in a flash.
Get tapping, bopping, and moving this summer
Talking of getting together with friends, rhythm and dance-based games can help you social get-togethers go down an absolute treat. While they’re good exercise and a pretty much instant mood booster, they can also be played as much or as little as possible, making them a great pick for casual events. If you’re into VR gaming, Beat Saber is going to be high on your list, but more traditionally-delivered fare like the browser-based 90s homage and indie smash Friday Night Funkin’, or if you kick it really old-school and dust off your old Guitar Hero gear for a legitimately nostalgic blast, moving and grooving could well be your summer gaming style this year.
Mobile gaming: A universe of games in your pocket
For a lot of people, summer is all about going on vacation. But when you’re getting away from it all, that doesn’t mean you have to leave gaming behind. With waiting at airports part of modern life, bring along your mobile phone to get playing as you move. What’s great about mobile gaming is there’s a massive variety of things to choose from. Want to play some of the games that put mobiles on the map in the gaming world, like Angry Birds? You can do that. Want to go back to the past with an 8-bit gaming emulator and experience the Golden Age of video games? That’s certainly possible. Want to play some iconic, game-changing classics like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? That’s available from the app store of your choice. How about sports simulations, like the record-breaking Football Manager series? All available with a tap of your screen on mobile this summer.
