I didn't say that getting into these leaderboards was a goal for me (although in fact it would be nice since the tops get huge bonuses for the money they wage). Haven't you ever met such a psychological effect that you saw things that were approximately the same in meaning but of a very different scale, and the smaller thing against the background of the big one became, as it were, insignificant?
Of course, it would be nice if we could get to the leaderboards and it seems like there are still many people who make it their goal to gamble. I think I've seen the situation you mentioned but I don't know and am not sure, because I've never really thought about it much. If I encounter something that has to do with psychology, I tend to let it go and not think about it because that will make me think more about it and even forget what I should be doing.
Many people are gambling for profit so yes all of them have once dreamed of to be part of the leader board because there are extra prizes that you can win but many of them have also forget it and don't push that dream because they know that it will take them lots of money before they can increase their ranks in the leaderboard. About that psychology thing you are saying, yes you better forget about that because that can make you crazy in the long run if you will keep on thinking about it.
There are lots of new stuffs being introduced in the casino this year but I don't think those stuffs have became a trend since many of the casinos are not following it.
Definitely, casinos will try and try new stuffs to cater the gambling community.
This will give them advantage over the others, however, they need to find a good feature that can sustain the interest of players.
This is why from time to time, they need to change the contests or programs, as players are not contented with only one and they got bored easily.
Also, they need to innovate and adopt what's the current interest of the players, like venturing the NFT business and integrate it with the casino.
