Once again DeNA’s card-battle game Rage of Bahamut tops the Android charts, but this week we turn our attention to some of the lower-ranked apps on the Google Play charts. Overall there wasn’t as much turnover on the charts as we saw last week, but new releases like Magic Piano, Temple Run: Brave and Max Payne Mobile all performed well on their respective charts. This week’s top grossing Android apps GSN Casino -- We start off this week’s top grossing app roundup in the No. 13 spot with GSN.com’s GSN Casino, an all-in-one casino app that includes slots, poker and bingo.
