So, it started with the alcoholic drink? but I wonder why the man is being given by a free drink. I thought the casino only gives it to the regular customers because it can also be abused where the person will only drink it and won't ever play on that casino but anyway, it wasn't only about the alcoholic drinks that can make the person excited to bet more because like for example me, I do not drink on a normal occasion but I am still playing gambling regularly and like a typical gambler, I also came to the point where I got addicted or have the urge to revenge my losses.
So, to answer your question, I think it has to do with our emotions too or self-control.

In my opinion. The biggest contributor to gambling addiction is revenge gambling. Which is gambling after a loss—doesn't matter how big, out of spite, and to get the losses back in the process. When you revenge gamble, you are not in the right headspace to make concrete decisions as your attention is more focused on winning than anything. And in my opinion, this never-ending chase for the bag is what will cost you to gamble, lose, revenge gamble, lose until you find yourself 6 feet deep in debt and trouble.
I agree with you, most gamblers find it difficult to walk away when they encounter losses in gambling, especially the addicted, they have this belief that they will have revenge for the money that they initially lost and with that mindset on winning big and recovering the past lost, they end up increasing their staking amount without knowing what the outcome of the game will be and by so doing the outcome is usually bad because being winning conscious and revenge intended, the concentration to pick the rightful game to gamble on will not be there and at the end of the day it will be an additional loss. In other words, revenge gambling leads to more losses instead of funds recovery so gamblers should stay clear of these intentions.

Chasing losses indeed is another factor why a gambler becomes addicted to gambling. With his intention to recuperate his losses, his eagerness to win back his losses often sets his defense down and fuel that uncontrollable urges to gamble. The more losses he experiences the more eager he is to win back and it is late when he realized that he is already addicted to gambling.

This is the reality. We can't consider those usual services we see in a casino as the reason why gamblers end up addicted.
I agree, it is more on the personal issues, not the good services given by the casino establishment. Gambling is addictive by itself since it has factors that increases the production of dopamine in one person's brain reason why there are also lots of people that falls addicted to gambling specifically online gambling even though they are at the premises of their homes.
Revenge gambling or chasing losses is one of the reasons why gamblers keep coming back from gambling.
The worst, these guys might be having payments that are already due and gambling is the only thing they think can solve their financial problem.

Chasing big wins also contributes to gambling addiction, it works the same way as chasing losses but the player keeps on playing to chase huge wins even though he hasn't lost anything yet at all.
This kind of a revenge can come in two forms actually, one can make a gamble to keep up with a continuous attempts in making a revenge by all means that one day he will also win big and recover back all his losses thereby not minding spending more even while loosing, the other is the category or type of gambler that wouldn't want to go on revenge at all by spending his own money the more, instead they campaign against the casino with all manners of attacks in discouraging others from using such for gambling.
Although he has campaigned not to follow his steps in gambling, but someone when a big loss cannot be controlled and is very emotional about anything, their focus is only on getting the big jackpot to recover from previous losses, so we ourselves must have emotional control and not be reckless to gamble with the wrong way, we have to carry enough money to lose and we have to know that anything related to gambling is defeat, so there is no need to expect big profits and just enjoy gambling just for entertainment.Always set limits and dont ever tend to go beyond those lines or borders so that you wont really be putting yourself into much bigger trouble in connection or in talks of financial status or condition.
Be always wary with your actions.

This factor makes gamblers big losses because they lose control and don't care about the funds spent on gambling, after they lose everything, the realization comes and they will be full of regret for their actions without consideration. We must realize that when we lose from the limit of funds brought to gambling, that day is not lucky for us and there is no need to continue the game and stop, we will come back tomorrow and hope for luck to recover the funds we have lost.

But at least it has succeeded in getting the gamblers to return to the casino many times and has indirectly made them addicted to gambling even though it's not yet too heavy. Using the beautiful woman strategy to accompany gamblers when they play gambling will tempt gamblers to continue gambling and spend their money to get wins and show off to the beautiful woman next to them that he is a lucky gamblers. Maybe it takes time for the gambler to become addicted but at least there is a chance to make a gambler who is addicted to gambling. So you have to be careful with this because the casino will use ways you are unaware of to become a gambling addict.Casinos will always do everything to make their bettors stay by attracting them with vices and temptations. Beautiful women are men's weaknesses and sometimes, because of pride, they are spending a lot for them. It could make them addicted not just to gambling but also to women and alcohol. However, they can't blame the casino for the consequences of their actions and wrong decisions because it was they who were too weak to resist all those temptations.
So actually what's wrong in this case is the man who is the character in this story, not even the gambling house. throughout my experience, especially in land-based casinos that have big names. the casino always provides the facilities and luxuries they provide to pamper their guests including free drinks. so, in this case the man is not responsible for himself.
Correct and agree with.
The man in the story is the one to blame for why his gambling addiction starts. For what would be the reasons are not because of those usual services that a casino provides like the mentioned free drinks, lots of withdrawal machines, etc. since that was already a common feature and things to be expected when visiting a casino.
We don't know the exact reason but maybe that man is either chasing losses or maybe experienced being a big winner. Because of that, he always looks forward to experiencing it again as winning big in the past can really trigger the interest to gamble more.
Free alcoholic drinks, ease of withdrawal machines and ease of which to fund betting/gambling site wallets are serious contributory factors to addictive gambling.
A man was invited to the court for failure to meet up with his bills. He complained bitterly to the judge he was standing before, on how he was given free drinks at a live casino and it made him so loose to the point that he lost and emptied his wallet to place more bet of which he lost more. He made several withdrawals from his bank account, most of which he had saved up for something as important as paying the bill for which he was summoned and more.
He attributed his huge loss to the ease of which he could easily withdraw cash because of the presence and ease of accessibility of ATM and POS machines and the free alcoholic drinks served which made him drunk and so excited to the point he emptied all his savings on gambling.
In comparison to live casinos, online casinos do not offer free drinks, but if one were to bet from the comfort of his/her zone, and had a fridge or cooler of chilled alcoholic drinks, it shouldn't be a yardstick to get drunk to the point of funding ones betting wallet all just to gamble at that instance of excitement. Also, if one can't get to control the amount of his/her alcoholic intake I don't think such a one can control the excitement that comes from gambling and shouldn't bet, make withdrawals or fund gambling wallets, while drunk.

Talk about the factors that make up gambling addiction. the answer will be very relative and very diverse, depending on each individual. and in our current discussion is, alcoholic beverages. in fact, alcoholic beverages cannot actually be an indicator of someone becoming addicted to gambling. As for what actually happens, when a person consumes too much alcoholic beverages, he has the potential to behave unnaturally. whether it's his behavior, or losing the way to think rationally.
So actually what's wrong in this case is the man who is the character in this story, not even the gambling house. throughout my experience, especially in land-based casinos that have big names. the casino always provides the facilities and luxuries they provide to pamper their guests including free drinks. so, in this case the man is not responsible for himself.
As for other factors that contribute to forming gambling addiction, none other than yourself. how do you define gambling itself and how should you react to it. Apart from that, the factors of responsibility and self-control are also understanding which can prevent you from becoming a gambling addict.

It's the casino's strategy to offer these free services, drinks, food, rooms, etc. to entice people to gamble more. They make gamblers feel comfortable and at ease and also offer the best service and commodities to attract people to gamble more. That's why some casinos give their VIPs free hotel stays, drinks, and other services. The more you spend the more they pamper you. Any business will do this, so you can't blame the casino.
That's true and even hotel businesses do this. They will offer a cheaper price on your next day and they will even add the breakfast buffet for free just so you will feel like you are a king while staying with them. That way, a chance of staying one more day can happen and who knows maybe it goes on for a week. Now, if it becomes a hotel and casino it becomes seriously expensive. IMO, this type of setting is only for the rich.
I'd rather pick a casino-only establishment to avoid unnecessary expenses like food, and drinks, and if you decide to stay the night and feel lazy to go home, or drunk.

In the end, it all comes to how the gambler can control himself.What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?
The first time I read the whole post of OP, I laughed a bit just because on how he brings up that "free alcoholic drink" as the reason why he lost too much money. At first place, he can just ignore or not to get those free drinks if he really doesn't want to, right? If he didn't try those alcoholic drinks, will he lose his money? I don't think so unless that man is really addicted to the point that it doesn't need alcoholic drinks just to empty his wallet.
Overall, self-control really is a very important trait especially when you are gambling. Knowing when to continue and when to stop is a big thing. Not having a self-control and discipline will lead to these kinds of things. Wallet getting empty, savings being gone because of gambling etc.
Now with regards to other factors that can contribute to addictive gambling, I believe peer pressure is one.
What peer pressure are you talking about?
Each of us chooses our own path. You wouldn't jump off a roof if your peers did, would you? I'm sure that no, because you have your own head on your shoulders and you are well aware of what it will lead to.
But why is it that when peers are into gambling and invite you to join, you think it's pressure? Each of us can refuse any offer, like free alcohol in a casino.

A casino with very Beautiful ladies as staffs or where beautiful women come to meet chill or meet men who can spend on them will definitely be of interest to men and they will spend more time in these casino's gambling than they would spend in other casinos. I personally will pick and spend more time in a casino with beautiful women than a casino with just unattractive faces. This can be a weird reason, but it can contribute to form addictive gambling.because if a man has a lot of money and likes the woman, he will meet the woman every day and be willing to spend the money in his pocket to gamble at the casino.
and if the woman knows that the man likes her, surely the woman has a way so that the man can spend even more money at gambling by means of spoiled seduction etc.
I agree that women in casinos are a contributing factor to addiction.

A gambler who visited Casinos should be well disciplined even when offer free drinks in form of enticement else such gambler will ended up bankrupted before leaving the Casino probably will be carried away with the enjoyment offered, personally I will visit a casino only with a fix amount of money budgeted for gambling and wouldn't spend above that amount once I lost the whole fund I am done for the day even with whatever entertainment offered, I wouldn't be carried away with whatever VIP treatment offered to me because my financial discipline. 
how can drunk people play gambling, if that happens it's a stupid mistake in my opinion, I have to have a focus on playing gambling for example casinos because sometimes when we are aware we are playing gambling it will be better because we can stop the game at any time when we win big or the money runs out, usually gambling addicts have no control over themselves like what OP said that alcohol is one of the causes of people losing money in gambling and finally becoming curious about their defeat trying to keep playing until the end
The same question on how can a drunk people can kill someone without a gun, a drunk people are still remember anything, but they just can't control themselves to limit their action. It will be worse if they gamble on traditional casino since someone might ask him to always gamble until his funds run out. Even you're not in drunk, it's better to gamble when you're in fit situation, don't gamble when you're sick since it could make your ill become bad, don't gamble when you're stress since you might not gamble for fun.

People intoxicated with alcohol tend to have lower self-control and can easily be persuaded by the people around them to do stupid stuff. Hence why you see why booze and other alcoholic drinks are readily available in casinos. That is for people to do the wrong decisions and continue losing money in the casino.
If you are drinking alcohol and have drunk one too many, you'll understand that everything goes simply past you and you won't even care that much about what you're going to say or what you're going to do unless it will put you in harm's way.

I've never been swooned by beautiful casino staff at all in my 5 years of gambling and visiting these places. Sure they are nice to look at, but they don't really give that much of a persuading appeal to me to continue playing.
