The current paper is tackling some of the major factors and variables that might positively or negatively impact the implementation of gamification and video games inside the classrooms of non-governmental higher-education institutions. After the improvements of the technological infrastructure like internet connection and the government support to open more higher-education private universities at the New Capital; the road is smooth as ever for the universities' decision-makers to initiate ambitious projects.
