Are instant win games the casual games for money? Yes, and what makes them stand out for players is they are:
- easy to understand,
- fast action,
- no strategy,
- no bonus rounds / wilds / scatters / special symbols / lines, etc (a reference to the complexity of slot machines).
Obviously, the first thing that characterises instant win games is that they are extremely easy. You can grasp what to do & how it works at once. Most of the popular kinds of instant win games are built on old games concepts like coin flip or guessing a range of outcomes (a number that's more or less than another number). Likewise, in crash games you'd see that a rocket crashes at a random time from the start. You also see how with time how the multiplier of wins rises. So you place the bet on what will be the highest multiplier when the rocket is still alive.

What's more interesting is to discuss why these games are significant for players and how they are seen from the inside the iGaming industry.
