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). In slots, everything is always about the same. You can increase the excitement in slots only by increasing the amount of the bet, but this leads to great risk and potentially great losses and harm.

But the thing is the excitement isn't repetitive as what slots give. You can experience more excitement in sports because you are rooting for a team to win. That is according to your reply, unexpected comebacks, championship games, etc. You can feel the excitement because you are a fan of the team competing but if you are not, I bet you won't feel that kind of excitement. 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.

For sure! Why? Because slots games are the most entertaining games in the casino. Probably only pachinko that has the same level of entertainment, the rest: table games, live games, sports betting, etc. are nowhere near slots. They are boring, outdated, and not graphically appealing.

Don't BS me we with "but it depends on your taste." The data said so.

Anyway, know your limit, so you can still play slots without risking your life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?"

Honestly speaking I %100 agree with this topic. My very old grandma (who passed away like 5/6 years ago) was addicted to slot machines. By very old I mean above 80 literally. She always loved to go Cyprus to play slots machine. She even once asked me to find online casino where she could play slots. Visual appeal must be very very strong with those machines. And I know the fact she once won like 15 thousand dollar something which made her love it.

It is not rare for slot machines to be so addictive, of all the gambling games that we know slots have been designed to perfection to try to keep you playing as much as possible so they are very effective at what they are supposed to do.

Now I do not think casinos actually want people to get addicted to them as this creates bad publicity, but some people are susceptible to get addicted as they do not have the same level of self-restrain as a regular person and they become addicted without realizing this has been the case.

There are actually other addicting gambling games than slots. It just so happens that even oldies could keep playing it because it's simple and not too complex to play. I think no matter how addictive the game is, it still depends on the players on how to manage their self-control towards it. All gambling sites want us to keep playing but we should still know our limitations.

By the way, in my opinion, it would be correct to take into account that different gambling has completely different mechanics. And if they compared just the number of bets that the average novice player makes, then naturally such games as slots or dice will always be in the lead and this will show that they are supposedly more addictive. But maybe 100 spins and 100 sports bets are equally addictive, who knows.

Seem what the studies shows. Slots machines make people bet continuously without interruptions unlike poker where they have to wait for card to deal. Like online dice its designed to get users addicted. For a lonely person, he can play all the time without interaction to someone.

There were studies that women starts with slot machines and get addicted like its the gateway to gambling and develop to making them play other games.

If you play 12 tables at the same time, then you don’t even have time to pee, but it’s unlikely that a beginner will play poker in this way Grin

In any case, it is obvious that there is a relationship between the ability to bet endlessly and without pauses, but I would not argue that based on this one can draw conclusions that some kind of gambling is more addictive than another. Maybe the main thing is this - the ability to bet without interruption? That is, if the bookmaker allows you to make such bets (for example, on simulated football events), then this will cause the same addiction as on slots.

A question to slots players out there, have you ever felt the uncontrollable urge to gamble after exposing yourself to slots games for a long period of time? How did you manage to keep sane after being exposed to the most addictive gambling game in the industry?

I answered slot gambling for me is just like playing games to entertain myself in my spare time.. I've been playing slot for a long time but I never expected a win from slot, if I get a win I think it's just a bonus from playing games.. if I lose I also never the emotion to continue to deposit to continue the game. so I can still control my control by assuming gambling is just a game to fill my spare time

There are a lot of players in the crypto gambling who play slot games, maybe because this game was one of the easiest in the gambling industry. Actually slots was my favorite games here in cryto, but I am not doing it daily just once a week only. Win or loss its fine for me, just doing it for fun and taking it seriously to prevent stress. Meaning, if anyone is doing the same thing as mine, this will surely not going to cause of problem in the end while playing games.

-snip- in my opinion it is obvious that it is easier to get used to slots because in 10 minutes you can make 60-200 bets, while in betting, you are unlikely to have time to make at least one bet (if you do even a simple analysis).

Exactly, so why people easy being addicted in slots because they can bet anytime, and limitless. Of course, the ego alos will quickly rise to be able to win the game. Then, a game that is simple, easy to use, will look so fun, so they don't realize that they are addicted to games that are played and sometimes they are forget if they are currently on bets. I have to say, really hard to going away from slots, both win or lose.

Slots are games that are incredibly curious for anyone as well as for beginners. In my country the average slot player is 22 years old and above and they usually play slots on every site they play on. There is no particular reason for them to just be curious about multiplers and this curiosity sometimes affects their finances. so as usual to forget our defeats, we only decorate our defeats by drinking liquor to relieve stress but there are also those who play games on their smartphones to relieve stress.

Doesn't matter on where you do involved yourself with because any game type would definitely triggers your curiosity specially if it's your first time involving yourself on any gambling game doesn't matter if it's slots or not because it would really be just the same impression that you would able to feel out that's why I don't really believe that there's a specific games which could trigger out addiction because it could really be generalize that majority of games that involves money could really give out that kind impulsive feeling or emotions.
