That is exactly what most people miss and that for a good reason as I have said before,the reason is that our brain emit dopamine a hormone that makes us feel good and as such we lost count of what we are really doing and how much money are we losing.We have to be extremely vigilant during the phase in which we are playing slot machines to check the balance every now and then before it empties out and we think then how come that we lost all that money during such a short time,in fact it is no short time,it is dopamine that makes it look short.
Same sentiments. I really think gambling brings cheap dopamine to fuel you into gambling and playing more. There's this kind of thrill and excitement gambling gives off to those people who do it. Especially to those people who already live with it and do it regularly. If they can't gamble, then they will most likely do things just to be able to. Otherwise, they'll seek it continuously because they love the fun and basically, it just become a part of their system wherein they can't easily remove or set aside. It's not something that you can instantly cut off the moment you enjoyed it and the moment you let it consume you. It'll take a long process to be able to quit and to be able to bounce back from healthy gambling habits when you are used to doing it excessively.
Losing money in slot games is natural because we can gamble at the minimum limit, press the roll button, or buy features that will give us Free Spins. That's what makes many of us lose a lot of money because we think in another 5-10 spins, we will get lucky and win. But we can also experience defeat in those 10 rounds so that we lose, especially if we use big bets.
And supported by the image display on the slot machine that makes us curious to keep trying until we can get a win. Even if we count how much we have used, the amount will be more losing money than winning money. Only luck can help us to win, so we must be aware that we don't have many chances to win.
The reference to "cheap dopamine" effectively encapsulates the process through which gambling stimulates the reward system of the brain, giving rise to a sense of euphoria that the person may subsequently seek to replicate
However, the depiction of gambling as a habit that once developed cannot be easily discarded may inadvertently foster a sense of fatalism. Addiction, while indeed a severe and pervasive condition, is treatable. Interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, for instance, have been shown to be effective in alleviating gambling addiction.
As for the remarks about slot games, the illusion of control – in this case, the belief that a win is imminent after successive losses – is a well-established cognitive distortion among gamblers. While one may indeed win occasionally, in the long run, the house always has the edge. Thus, the assertion that "only luck can help us to win" paints an overly simplistic picture and neglects the inherent bias against the player in gambling games
