I don't think there are any games where you can officially make money but like you said, with a lot of these big mobile games, you can usually make money a different way. When I decided to stop playing Clash of Clans and Clash Royale ages ago, I sold both my accounts online and made a good amount from it.
I prefer Gamee app you will enjoy palying games and earn cash in the same time anyway i don't know a lot
of gaming app that paying good income most of them are scam
This type of games like mobile legends don't pay you anything for playing them but one way you can make money is by growing accounts and selling them online to other players
I do not think that there are games that there are not a scam and pay you for playing those.But from different sites like cointiply and timebucks you can play games that this has chosen and make some really good amount of money
In my country we have an app that pays for playing games with other players but it is Difficult to earn money with the app but if you have an good skill with the game that you so you can earn good amount with the app. I have earned good amount withe app
There are some game that you will see in some adverts shown in any app you install on your phone, that they will say you can earn $100 to $1000 playing the game. I will advise you not to join or install the app for most of them will never pay you. I just installed one yesterday I reached $1000 and when I request for payout it was telling me that I entered wrong PayPal account.
There are not much games outside there that you can okay to earn real money. I have headed of clip claps and that is the only one that I have heard of right now.
