Big Fish Games is a casual gaming company based in Seattle, with a regional office in Oakland, California, owned by Aristocrat Leisure. It is a developer and distributor of casual games for computers and mobile devices. It has been accused of knowingly deceiving customers into signing up for monthly purchases without informed consent.[1] It was also the subject of a class action lawsuit over its app Big Fish Casino, resulting in a settlement of $155 million after a federal appeals court ruled that it constituted illegal online gambling.[2][3]

Honestly I feel like 'Big Fish' is one of the most aptly named con games on the internet. Nevertheless, I did a search on Reddit and found some pretty glowing comments, but they were all around three years ago. Since then the company has apparently been bought out by some racetrack operator. So, back to my initial question. Big Fish delights millions of players daily with top-rated match 3, HOPA, time management and social casino games. Dedicated to giving the best support and delivering fun and secure ways to play, connect, compete and discover through mobile, PC and Mac. Try any game, free and #playinspired!

Big Fish Studios[edit]
Big Fish Games has a number of studios split between the Seattle office and Oakland office that develop games: Self Aware Games, Triton Studios, Epic Ventures and ARC Studios.
Games developed by the various Big Fish studios include:
- Drawn series: Dark Flight, The Painted Tower, Trail of Shadows

Online games[edit]
The company entered browser gaming with its acquisition of the game website Ion Thunder in 2007; the service was re-branded as Atlantis following the acquisition.[citation needed] The service, which was later revamped as Big Sea Games in 2009, was shut down in 2010 as part of the company's shift from traditional online games to social games on Facebook and mobile apps.[12]
