The Growth of the UK Tech Sector
Tech as a whole is booming in the UK. Right now, the tech sector employs over 1.7 million people, contributing £150 billion to the UK economy every year. A big factor in this would be the casino sector. New games hit the market all the time, with software engineers accounting for 10% of jobs advertised in the country. With games such as Plinko Go in UK being so popular, alongside hits such as Cinderella’s Ball and Chicken Drop, it’s not surprising to see that gaming contributes a lot to the sector. In fact, the median game developer salary stands at £52,000, which is way above the national average wage of £28,000. The demand for tech-oriented positions is more evident than ever, as the country transitions to a more digitally-focused future.
