Topic: Is It An Easy Transition From Gamer To Gambler In Casino. (Read 1252 times)

This is true for the average gamer but there are many gamers which are in fact gambling, and if you do not believe me take a look at MMORPGs, many of those which play those games do so for fun, but there are a significant amount of players which farm gold or items from the game, and especially in the case of those which farm items they are gambling, as they fight the same boss over and over again hoping to get a specific item, how is this any different than the gambler which keeps betting the same number on the roulette waiting for that number to appear?

I have seen these cases a lot, I think that when a player of this type of games that are more focused on adventure, of being sat for a long time and waiting a certain time to play again, it is a quite shocking process, because in a casino the games are usually very fast and it tells you at once if you win or lose, while in games that are very long, the winnings are very few and the hours of play are many, which quenches the thirst to play of a player, here things are different, the amounts of money can become considerable, and the longer you play, it will not guarantee that you win, for me these things are difficult in their transitions.
Yes, I see your point and it is something very interesting, for me personally I always think that one should improve their game, somehow this takes time and experience, in addition to knowing that we cannot be better than the casino, whatever the casino takes In five many things, first the advantage, second the type of game that is something already complicated and third that when it is played and it is about money things change and can be seen with another tint, the person in question who is the player, no he wants to lose, and he always wants to maintain his status to continue playing and having fun, he wants to win more, sometimes the competition against himself is very strong and that can be detrimental.

The kind of mentality that you will think that you can improve more will lead you to think that you win more instead of being contented with the amount that you already earned. This is really something that gamers have disadvantage. though in some cases they can also use it as an advantage if they have a good limitation on how far they are targeting, then quit once they already achieved it.

It can't be generalized as people have different take in controlling what they are thinking is best for their gambling and gaming activities.

I honestly can not compare this two together, a gamer is different from a gambler, anything that is being done for money can not be compared to something that's been done just for passing time sake, gambling and gaming can seem similar to the ordinary eyes, but the motivation that drives the two are quite different.
On one, something(money) is at stake, while on the other, nothing is at stake.
One can make or break you, while the other can not change anything about you.
Though a gamer moving into gambling will do with some experience gained from playing games, but then, it depends on the type of game s he's going to be gambling with.

I think some gamers will require to make some adjustments to their attitudes they have when gaming which will make them lose a huge mount if they are gambling, and I am talking about their desire to win, people play video games for fun but gamers are beyond that, they play the game more than the average person in an effort to be better than others, and this attitude will be very unhealthy if they gamble because as we know even if you can win in the short term over the long term you will lose no matter what you do.

What I understand is that the transition from a physical or traditional casino player to a crypto casino player, which is what brings with it everything related to technology, profits, everything that has to do with connecting to the technological tools of the site, the platforms are currently very friendly, but since there are some platforms that have so many things, that sometimes it is necessary to play in DEMO mode so that you can have control of each tool that is presented, all this has a logic and that logic is for me the biggest challenge that a player who comes from a normal traditional casino to a digital one has to learn.

I think something, both games sometimes give money, and you play for money, so here the key to all this is that every time you go to play and make a transition, you must take into account something that very few say, but It's those "customs", you know very well that some players spend a whole day glued to playing and having fun and yes, for them it is the best, and when switching to a casino system, where the games are very fast and in a way violent over time, it is something that can hit them a lot, besides the only thing that can keep them excited is that the interest will become only for money.


Well, we also have to see something, if each person is different, thinks differently, we cannot buy that we will all have the same reactions to various situations in life, obviously a transition for some will be without any kind of attachments, it will be easy, your Assimilation goes hand in hand with what they think and do, but for others it does affect them emotionally, mentally, they see that it is not the same, sociology does play a great role and even the psychology of each person, everything is very different, maybe op has a different vision of what all this could mean for a particular person or for himself, but if there is a big change in the transition, it does affect.

Based on my understanding of the OP, this kind of transition is easy, it doesn't require much effort since the gamer has already understood how to work around the game. Such would only be gambling on what he knows unless the OP refers to another aspect of gambling that does not require a direct contention through playing games. Either one it is, proper knowledge of how to gamble is required, while the betting should be well calculated and managed under the right gambling psychology. Nonetheless, starting with a little amount that will be increased gradually is a good plan too.

Fair enough, logically there are those gamers especially streamers and pro players that will spend a ton of money for the sake of having those limited and great stats items to boost their account or character.

However, what I mean by my question are those rich players who seldom plays and grinds the game but are always active when there's a new Gacha or Loot Boxes available. Will you still consider this type of player a gamer?

I've encountered both types of players and I never considered the latter player a gamer but rather a spoiled or rich dudes flexing their account.

Anyways, As for the main topic, about transitioning from a gamer to gambler, I guess one way to incentivize your gaming experience is by gambling on E-sports related matches as you'll be able to analyze better and see through the game better than a normal gambler.

I think that gamers can easily transition to gambling if they know how to control their greediness and emotion when playing with their money. And, we know that some gamers are really good at strategy games but it's different if we are talking about getting money on the game and maybe a 1% chance of winning a gambling game.

Some people, gamers or not, are carried away when they hit their beginner's luck during a session in an online casino. Since they won right away, they will think that playing in an online casino is profitable and that making profits is just that easy.

They didn't know that those experiences are actually bait for them to continue gambling. Since they want to experience that winning experience, they won't stop chasing that feeling and that's it, the start of an addiction.

If I have to answer this question, yes, of course, I'm still a gamer that way.

The purpose of spending that money on loot box or gacha is to try luck in getting a good item to improve our character.

I don't see why it can't be considered a gamer just because they are taking their chances mostly on gachas. For sure while playing mostly those minigames or the same kind, they are also spending time grinding. That should be obvious.

Most gamers I know deposit money or buy coupon codes for the games they play to buy some items that can improve the performance of their player characters. And most of these items are very rare in the market and only a few can have it mainly because of the high price. Maybe we need the opinion of a gamer who loves the game and often buys items in the game market so that we can know whether they deposited their money because they wanted to buy those rare items or if there was indeed a part of the game that was a lootbox or box. a mystery that contains rare items that must be purchased using money. If so, that would include gambling because we don't even know what's inside the mystery box.

(both) I think you have a crossover on the concept/use of the jargon in the niche with word  "real" .
In any Casino there are two versions to differentiate them online and offline, in offline there is no possibility of playing with play money, you play with real money, in online casinos there are two options real money or play money.

Now, in either of the two cases, if they use the adjective "real" they must use it correctly according to the jargon, because they confuse the issue of "transition" that really has to do with the skills in one case (Gamers) + the money they earn in that niche with transferring his skills to the casino environment.

I named a player, who became a world champion as a Gamer, they paid him for that, I also know professional Chess players who have switched to Poker, definitely in both cases it is a transition.

The issue of whether you do freeroll as a gamer or freeroll (play money) in a casino, which is the issue as they should call it because in the etymology of the word both are real games, that is, real players, regardless of the environment where it happens.

I hope you understand the point of the jargon, so this guys (gamers) they need transition based primarily on their skills in the niche to which they belong.

Then, one player "A" is not in the casino environment, "the Gamer, " so, if he does freeroll or receives payments, he needs to test if he can make the transition to casino games, and in the case of those who are already in a casino but only play with play money they also need to that transition, both in practice are players real...

It depends on the type of game really, as many games will have a skill cap on the player - either in their ability to be faster physically than other players, through to the hardware that more privileged gamers are able to afford to even richer players being able to buy many perks without thinking twice about the real money cost. Not every game is designed equal and developers are getting a lot more manipulative in how they structure the play. I kind of disagree that gamblers are not interested in the fun part of the game, it is actually the very root of why they are playing - the buzz they got with the first few wins triggered that rush of happiness endorphins which is a feeling they are chasing every time they go back to play.

If a gamer have topped-up for the sake of trying some loot boxes to win some items that has greats stats, then I don't entirely think that it will fall under gambling exactly, more like borderline gambling, especially if those items does not have any monetary value.

But still, do you consider yourself a gamer if you mostly play on minigames such as lootbox opening and gacha?

Yes, it is really incomparable because in the game, the user are sometimes releasing money to purchase in-game items or avatar without a guarantee that they will earn the same amount or more if they sell their character or some items. While gambling, your money will grow further depends by the odds and lose the same amount if you'll lose but your opponent is the host because they are also their for the same reason why are you there.

If you think that gamblers take their casino games to serious, you would be surprised how competitive and toxic high ranked games in Dota or CSGO can be. I have played both games excessively over the last 6 years and its sad how fast a normal chilled game can turn into a group of angry people shouting at each other. These are games to have fun with, there is no prize money or any other monetary benefit for winning or losing a game. And still people become extremely serious and toxic in online gaming about minor mistakes. A bad fight or losing an important round can bring out the worst in people. When it comes to gambling I can understand that people take it more serious for real money that is involved. Especially if you gamble with more money that you can afford to lose it becomes emotionally frustrating. I would say that someone who becomes easily angry at online gaming should be careful when switching to gambling. Having your emotions not under control will be even worse when you have a bad day in a casino.

Very true.
Addiction to games could also be the same in gambling. You can spend as much as you can in a casino while also spending a lot with an online game that you're hooked with.
While we play in casinos, we can imagine that it's a paid service and we're paying for the games that we play while for the traditional games, many of them are for free but with in game purchases although it's voluntary.

I think the user doesn't mean the way you understand it.

If we try to be specific, if the gamer tops-up money for the purpose of trying their luck at the gambling part of the game, which is by trying the roll or spins with the chance of getting good items, then that's what we call gambling.

Generally, doing top-ups on the game does have different purposes.

You mean a top up is equivalent to cash-in from the casino?
And you are comparing the frequency of money that were coming in from both the game developer/owner and the casino? And so you mean just because the game involves money, then it could also be considered gambling?
Though gaming and gambling may have few similarities, but this one doesn't make enough sense to me, If I understand you correctly.
