But it is true, slot gambling is addictive to keep playing it, especially when we see other players who have managed to get big multipliers so that we are motivated to pursue big wins. In situations like that, someone loses control and I feel the same way. If you have become addicted, our hope of playing slots is no longer to have fun but rather to earn income because other options are more appropriate to pursue defeat.
I feel different, though. It is true that I also try slots when I see big wins from others. But I lose the temptation after losing my first deposit. It happened multiple times with me. For example, Let's say I saw a big win in a pragmatic slot; after seeing that win, I tell myself, why not try this slot and see if I can hit something? I make a $50 deposit and start spinning. Most of the time, I do not hit anything significant and lose the deposit. After losing the deposit, I regret making that deposit and I do not make another deposit to play again. Forget about addiction!
You are right except for the three last words you said, to be a free gambler is far different from an addicted gambler, both do not think alike and that is what makes them different from each other.
Like the other user did say, a gambling addicts knows nothing about gambling for fun, they are all about chasing after big wins and this is all that matters to them.
While a gambler who is not addicted sometimes may still gamble for money, but this is perhaps; not all the time.
I myself often times go through the very same experience you have shared, like I get tempted to play a particular slot game after seeing someone win huge from it, but immediately I lose my first deposit, I lose complete interest in the game most especially if all through the game, i did not get any significant winning.
But for the addicted gamblers, it's completely a different story because they will keep chasing, and thats one of the things that makes them addicted.
