27 per cent of them spend more than three hours a day playing them.
A new study of the habits of 15,000 games by social gaming specialist MocoSpace looked at play habits on mobile, consoles and PCs.
Its finding that women over 30 are the most addicted will raise some eyebrows. There's no doubt females have embraced a habit previously dominated by teenaged males, but are they really the most active of all?
Well, that's what the study says. Specifically, it reports that 27 per cent of women over age 30 spend more than three hours playing games on their mobile phones every day.
That's double the percentage of men on average, as well as that of females from ages 12-29.
Elsewhere the research asserts that 46 per cent of people were playing more games in December 2011 than a year before, and 21 per cent play more than an hour a day.
