I see this the other way around, I see slot as a gambling type that let gamblers to know they have only luck to win, because of these, they can use just low amount of money for it. Sport gambling will only deceive gamblers, they will think they can analyse and bet and win the bet, but if they play often, they will only noticed that gambling is gambling and no difference. I do not see the article helping at all because anyone can become addicted in any type of gambling, not only slot.

Did you see anywhere in the article that only slots are addictive? I never saw anything denying other gambling games being addictive. Even the title itself indirectly implies that not only slots game is addictive. The article is implying and is backed by research and survey that slot game is more likely to cause gambling problems. Take note of more likely, it does not mean "only".

Closing this thread now since I think we had enough response and interaction here. Further discussion will only lead to spam. Thank you very much for all the inputs.

In my opinion, slots is one of the most vibrant and emotional gambling games, so it attracts users. At least for me it is one of the games of chance from which I get a real pleasure in the game.

That's why many people love playing slots and keep playing with more money. I also enjoy playing slots, but I play just for fun and not after winning. But I realized that playing slots can make us forget the time and money we spend. And that is what causes many people to have gambling problems because they lose track of time and control.

I agree with that, if gamblers think that they can only win by luck, they will not invest a lot of time and money in order to win. They will invest more on gambling games that they think they can win with their skills and sports betting is one of the many, and if a gambler will not be able to control, most likely he will be addicted and experience the consequences of irresponsible gambling.

This is an important factor that must be considered because even if I look at myself, even if I play this for fun, when I say far from wanting to win, it is clear that victory is something that is targeted which makes this difficult to control.
But in this case I personally make a trick when depositing I don't give too much money there and when I finish either for 1 time the game runs out or several times it runs out I always don't continue because indeed this is control for myself that makes me at a higher level. quite safe when playing so this doesn't make me one of those people who do everything for slots or gambling.

If you can stop yourself when your money runs out, that's good self-control because not everyone can. Most people will try to deposit another amount of money and continue playing because they want to win some money. It is better to use gambling just for fun and not to try to win money from gambling because it is something that is not easy. We must use gambling properly so that we do not become addicted and can control the spending of our money, which is used for gambling.

It applies for all kind of gambling games, not only slot games. That's why I said previously that the type of gambling game does not really matter as long as we have great self control. Addiction and other gambling problem comes from ourselves, not from the type of the game we play. All in all, saying this game or that game will give more chance for addiction is not completely true.

Yes, self-control is a determining factor that we must have to avoid addiction problems in the long term. When we play gambling, we will feel tempted to continue playing, and slots are one type of gambling that can make us forget to stop. But we must have good self-control whatever type of gambling game we play.

The most interactive game for me is poker or sports betting I think, it has the most factors and there an infinite amount of strategies when it comes to competing vs people or considering sports bets. Slots are a game within a game, its more flashy and instant perhaps but I'd have to say its not what feels most interactive. Its probably because of the instant feedback route, if we are talking brain waves then I guess thats the flow of cause and reward / loss is quicker but I'm lucky I need the larger factors to really be involved in something or I get bored or its not real enough I guess so I would move on etc.

Because indeed slots prioritize their visualization and without a strategy there which makes gamblers forget anything and continue playing while they still have funds in their accounts.
Suffice it to say that Slots are actually more difficult to stop and bigger in addiction because indeed I also feel the same way when playing sometimes I forget about my time and financial condition even though I bet small amounts, but if I play I forget about time, it's hard to say that I experienced victory because most still lose. but my heart is still quite happy because there seems to be something new from the fun even more so because indeed I also don't have high hopes for winning, especially in slots.

Before you play slots, you have to make sure you have good self-control so that you won't become addicted and can quit whenever you want. As time goes on to play slots, the desire to win another will get bigger and make us play longer because we think that the next spin is our luck. In addition, many gamblers will deposit more if they lose because they can be curious about their loss and want to try playing again.

~ Addiction could be molded out easily when you do really have that kind of intent in mind on how to make quick bucks without putting much effort on it.

Indeed those are dangerous thoughts that always lead to problems, and not only financial ones.

Gambling isn't there to make quick bucks, it's for entertainment and relaxation. Even poker and sports betting should not be considered as a money making process, let alone purely luck based games like slots.

Yes, slots are addictive because it's fun to play them, and there are so many of them that you can always find a perfect one to your liking. And that's a good thing in general, but don't turn it into something more serious than entertainment.

But we are seeing the different scenario yet considering on how big gambling industry had become over the past years until into the present which do really shows that people do really end up on going into that path.
which they do become impulsive and doesnt matter whether they are into slots,sports betting or poker it would really be just ending on the same intent which is to make money and some do still try on pursuing the impossible.

I know there are people who do able to sustain theirselves on playing for long term and able to make a living with gambling even though its sounds impossible but it did really happen.
All gambling games do poses such risk about those common problems specially when you are addicted, from financial till to relational type of problems which been commonly experienced.

Every gambling game invented causes your brain to trigger the release of dopamine which, in turn, helps you get addicted to the game. You'll crave for it, your brain will always look for that pleasure you're getting regardless of the game you are playing. Slots, well, they are the easiest game you can get your hands into, and also probably the easiest to get your hopes up for. That's why the research ended up naming slots as the main culprit in this study, because of how simple and easy it is to get hooked in playing it.

i will said that is our own understanding of games. No game have the hundred percent guarantee of gaining or easier to play and make profit, it's our instincts that makes game of gambling to be simple to us, because we have already put our minds there and conclude that it's the good one for us to playing as the easiest game to be played. If any gamblers bring out time to study a game structure or game standards it will not take time to know that the game is simple and quiet understandable

Slots were created in the first place with the advantage of casinos and not for the gamblers so of course it would result into a not so desired outcome if we just let ourselves play that machine without setting some borderlines when to go. Don't read me wrong, slots are fun to play and makes us forget the real world but that's also the problem right there, we will lost track of time as well as our money and already too late to tell that we've spend too much.

Slots are also called “one-armed bandits”.

Typically, slot machines (slots) are installed in places with the highest traffic of people.
This allows you to involve the maximum number of people in the game.

I know cases when slots were installed directly in grocery stores. Retired grandmothers went to the grocery store, but could not resist the temptation to play slot machines. In doing so, they lost their entire cash pension. And they had nothing to buy groceries and household items. Usually the slots are brightly colored and make pleasant sounds. They create the atmosphere of a festive fair.

Slots are created by experienced psychologists and designers.

Therefore, in terms of such indicators as profitability, slots are in the lead.

I absolutely agree with you. Remembering the time when I could visit land-based casinos I can say that it was difficult to pass by the slots as there was always a cheerful and noisy atmosphere, which obviously can not be said on the location where the poker or roulette were placed.

In my opinion, slots is one of the most vibrant and emotional gambling games, so it attracts users. At least for me it is one of the games of chance from which I get a real pleasure in the game.

The slots are designed by very experienced psychologists.

Outwardly, slots look like soda machines, rides, carousels, etc. They are brightly colored and make pleasant sounds. There is a feeling that a cheerful clown sits in each slot and entertains you. These are all pictures from childhood, when everything was simple and fun.

This is another reminder that gambling is not about making money, but about having fun. And slots create an atmosphere of childhood and joy.

That is why gamblers are very fond of playing slots (slot machines). The popularity of slots is much higher than the popularity of table games (roulette, poker and dice).

Slots fall into the classification of games of chance, and their description says so, chance is the most important here, some casino games such as poker, roulette, also fall into this classification, unless it is in PVP mode That if everything changes or if I enter sports betting, the chances of winning for me are much greater.

Slots are considered games of chance where people frequent them to have fun, those who see it as a job are very wrong and yes, that way they can lose a lot, but if we see physical casinos, many people are in slots , and they last a long time, it is because they make very small bets and most of them are looking for fun.

Well, there are lots of activities that can trigger dopamine release: listening to your favourite band, making love, shopping, smelling cookies baking in the oven even. So, you basically switch to one of those, and you are fine. That's what I do, anyway.

I agree, that is why I divert myself to other dopamine-producing activities such as playing games when I feel that I am too hooked on my gambling activities.

Yeah, games. Great example. I forgot about it because I myself don't play video games, maybe because no dopamine release is triggered when I play, but, of course, for people who enjoy it, that would be a good substitution.

Usually I don't really believe anytime or something I do read up on internet which do tell something which is out or doesn't have sense nor correlating or being realistic.15 months is too long yet addiction to gambling could even happen immediately. Cheesy

Idk, maybe they are talking about some severe addiction, and for that kind of addiction to develop it takes 15 months, but from my experience 3-4 weeks is enough for finding yourself in a situation when you start thinking, "Am I addicted?"

Addiction could neither be mild to severe and it do really depends on how many weeks or months you would really be having those own questions in mind that if you are addicted.Its really impossible that you wont really be

having those kind of questions in regarding with your actions which its impossible that you would simply be ignoring if ever you do find out that you are doing too much and not really that good already into your finances.

Addiction could be molded out easily when you do really have that kind of intent in mind on how to make quick bucks without putting much effort on it.

Slots arent the only thing that causes gambling problems there are a lot more other machine games such as roulette and other stuff. I think its just pure luck on slot games if you win. But in longterm you will lose 100% when playing any kind of slot games

Exactly.You reminded me of not so many years ago or maybe quite some many years ago,15 years should be a lot of time but to me it looks like it was yesterday the time when me and my friends were staying at physical casinos until 2 Am or 3 Am trying to hit that jackpot.The atmosphere was great but the only thing I didn't like was the huge amount of smoke there and the alcohol which was offered for free,some of the friends were coming with us just to benefit from the free drinks.

All those beautiful graphics were sure to make you at least stop by and try a little bit of action there,the music was also appealing and the sounds were sure to make you stop there.We used to lose our complete payroll of a month there at times but luckily this has changed for the good for me.

Yes, I don't smoke and I also have such memories of gaming clubs (including poker ones) - a lot of smoke and when you come home after hanging out there, all your clothes stink. Now the laws are much stricter and smoking is not so annoying, so I almost forgot about it, but in the past it was really a huge problem for non-smokers.

In my opinion, there is more excitement in sports betting because there are unexpected comebacks when the game turns upside down and the level of tension is incredible in any important match (and if we are talking about matches for winning championship, this is generally an incredible level).

That's the entertainment when you watch the game, in other words, from the match itself.
I'm just saying, based on the data, why slots generate more revenue for casinos than any other games.

Sure, it's not for all of us. One may like sports betting more, but in general, slots are more favorable because it's easy, available 24/7, visually appealing, addicting, etc. Again, it's dangerous if you can't control or limit yourself.

Slots may give a smaller amount of excitement but they can give it multiple times in a single minute and it stacks. The reason why more people are addicted to slots than sports betting.

Don't forget slots is a game where you can play 24/7 whenever you like and how long you can survive, while sports it's probably once on few days or week(s) this will prevent you to not gamble too much. Unlike slots you're chasing the jackpot and when you didn't yet hit it, you will deposit more and more.
