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?
to be honest, i love slots the most (compared to card games and sports betting)...

The thing I like about slots is the interesting animations that are displayed (such as olympus gate, bonanza etc.), I always feel like playing and getting jackpot (because the animation is interesting). luckily I have a partner who always controls my addiction to playing slots, he always reminds me of the dependents we now have and keeps an eye on my savings Cheesy

However I'm not saying slots is bad and slots should be blamed due to cause gambling problem, but it's depends on the gambler who can control himself or not.

I have seen several research that explains how "slots" are designed to force people to gamble...it's really hard have self control with this kind of games.
And probably this is true, but if you see in the long term it's really easy get hooked and have a bad addiction for this kind of games most often respect other types of games.
I play just few cent some times for pure entertainment but after a while it become really repetitive / boring and because I can't to nothing for "change" the results I stop to play after few rolls.

According to research on online gambling behavior by GamblingAware,  slot gaming is more likely to cause problem gambling than sports betting
That is because slot is more like an active game while sportsbetting is a passive game because you will just bet and comeback later for the results, no wonder why slots is more fun and addicting. The potential to win huge in slot games are also much higher than in sportsbetting due to the multipliers equipped on this game.

On the poster of gambleaware it says " when the fun stops, stop" that is understandable, it means that when we lost our money we should quit and never try to redeposit again on the same day. I just thought of another saying because of that, it goes like this > "when the fun seems doesn't stop, stop" it means that when we win, we need to stop before something bad happens to us.

Winning is the problem cause gambling problems. Grin
- Winning a game.
- Make an assumption: Really easy while can win like these, then gonna gambling again
- Winning again: Raise the base bet
- After that, lose the bet.
- Deposit back to recover the lose before
- Then, you are on lose position until your money empty + debt.

I don't think, slot is problem. We all know the problem of gambling addiction started from winning the money and make you think can earn easy money with gambling.
Agree on this one.

Whatever games you are dealing as long you are expecting or anticipating or being boost up with those wins then you would definitely be creating such emotion
which would pushes you to play even more.I dont know on why Slots is being that too getting attention yet there are other games which do generate the same
feeling or outcomes too.Somehow its truly understandable on why slots is much more emphasize because of the  fastness pace of the game
which emotions is something that relevant.

Slot gambling is indeed very interesting, the dynamic design is like being hypnotized when I play this game, to be honest even now there is a feeling that pushes me to gamble on slots. It wasn't even just me, my friend who went crazy if he didn't play any slot in a day, but the solution would always be there and he went to play with a demo account. It's not a matter of money anymore but dependence when you become an addict.

Rightly pointed out. I have always been surprised by this paradox - on the one hand, slots are one of the most degenerative types of gambling (you just need to press a button or even just select automatic button pressing), but on the other hand, watching the game gives some kind of relaxation and it is very easy to get used to it. Therefore, I prefer intellectual gambling like poker or betting (dice in a pinch) and avoid 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 would be lying if I answered "no". Almost all gamblers feel that whether intentional or not, uncontrollable moments are a normal feeling for every gambler especially in playing slots. Slots are designed to intrigue the curious to get a much larger multiple of what is shown in the title and thumbnail. Indeed that is the purpose of the casino so that you are always curious and keep putting money into it.
As a business then you would really be thinking on different ways or methods on  how they would be hooking up players even on means of those good or catchy thumbnails which
i could say that it is really that effective plus having those big multiplier kind of advertisement which you could possibly hit on playing slots then thats do really adding up the
interest and curiosity thats why we do really ending up on trying it on our own and do lose up in the end if you arent lucky enough.We know the odds and chances of winning slots
where it is really low and when your emotion burst up then this is where addiction starts to come out.

It seems to me that slots are more addictive and more dangerous, even without these studies. You can play slots in any condition and at any time of the day, while if you are a bettor, it is unlikely that you have a round-the-clock opportunity to bet on the sport where you are well versed. In addition to this, when you lose in betting, you feel a blow to your ego (your analysis was bad) and thus it somewhat cools your ardor to continue betting right away.

hmph..
IMO gambling problem is not from the type of the game we play, but it is more about ourselves.
It does not matter what kind of the game you play, you will be addicted if you cant control yourself.
The same as when we are talking about other addictions such as alcohol and cigars, no matter what is the brand of the alcohol/cigars, you might get the same problem or make you addicted if you can deal with it wisely.


Exactly, we need to controls by ourselves, but for slots we feel different things, when compared to dice or other gambling, I tend to get addicted to slots more easily. The thing that makes slots easier is because most online slots resemble traditional games that are fun but provide rewards from betting. So, when we feel a win, the desire to play becomes higher. As for dice, it will be easier to get bored because the challenges given are not the same as in slots, including the game UI to improve the gaming experience for gamblers.

Work being a basic diversion, also entertainment can diversion slots between watching PS VR game streamers or something else. Self awareness is very important and fortunately I can keep it stable, well every human being has self awareness and will appear over time, some are short or long, so back to each human will stop or ....!

Of course the urge and desire to play for a long time in slot betting is definitely there, of course anyone who is involved in slot games thinks that slots have a good collection of dominance games to bet on, such as: various jackpots, gacor slots, bonuses and also have a very high RTP value, as well as the opportunity to win big, no wonder slots are one of the causes of gambling addiction in general.

Many people think that slots feel comfortable and safe in betting, on the other hand, slot games are easy and the benefits are also large, the bonus offer is also different from other games/bets, for that what you said I think it makes sense slot games that make users want to stick around in the long run.

I don't really play slots so I can't really answer your question but this is a very informative thread. also, I guess aside from what was explained in the original post, slot machines being easy to understand and play helps to attract new gamblers.

Because it can be accessed easily and there are lots of slots gambling games out there. unlike any other gambling activity, this one is the most popular since it has lots of varieties and unfortunately almost everyone can play with it. This is the picture back then, we have in our village something like that where it is distributed by the gambling whale here throughout the city. If caught, they only confiscate the item, not the owner that's why it keeps getting more and more players each day. It won't stop until they remove the stem from its roots.

is this Video karera? they used to be rampant in my area. it is also one of the reasons why a lot of debt-related fights happened in my area when I was still living there. fortunately, no deadly fight happened when I was still living there.

It is undeniable that slot games are always tempting, there are many types from various providers so we can always choose which one we think is very interesting. Especially when we can get a win winning image that is displayed into something that is always fun to see and also show it.
So far, I can still control it, although sometimes it's difficult, especially if there is still a balance in my gambling account or when I get a payment from the sig camp. But when a gambler becomes addicted then the problem is from the gamblers itself, not the type of game or the type of gambling that is done

There are slot machines which works on basically a penny so people think that these penny slots won't matter and they keep playing it again and again in a chance of winning ultimately leading up to collapse because at the end they don't realize that all these pennies made 100's of dollars, then again the probability of winning at a penny slots is much higher so they usually let it slide, but I do think that there are other games which are more addictive:
1. Crash, which such high rewards you are for sure gonna have this need to play it again and again
2. Dice, since you can change it's probability and also set the area yourself, you can try and have low loosing percentage but at the end would still end up loosing a lot and getting addicted to it.

-Dopamine is everywhere in every game or that piece of dark chocolate that you had so slots must just be an extension of it just like how other gambling games are.

I think slot is not the only gambling game that can cause gambling problems but I admit that slot is one of the gambling games that many people like. But that does not mean a slot is the gambling game that causes the problem. And with so many gambling games, including crypto gambling games, that attract many people who will make the games their favorite gambling games. People like to play slots because of the easiness of playing without learning more skills or creating strategies to win because slot games will depend on their luck.

I share the same opinion it's not only slot, although OP mentioned interface and sounds all the other luck-based games have their own sounds and interface that can easily attract and lingers on the mind of the gamblers, the simple the interface and sounds the more it lingers in the mind of the players, but I also have one casino where I play a dice game where I am attracted on the sound of dice when it's rolling, and it keeps playing in my mind, it's not only the visual but the feeling we have on these games that makes gambling addiction easily developed.
