0% house edge

The thing is, there are losers even if gamblers play 0% HE games. The 0% HE only moves the gambling nature from negative-sum into zero-sum. Losers will get more pain because they lost the money playing shitty games. They will not come back if the game is really crap.

If we are talking about what's hooking people to this or that kind of gambling game, then yes, very low house edge can be one of the attractions. But if you play for fun, and you are not planning to constantly make money on gambling, the difference between 1% and 0.5% shouldn't bother you at all, because you will hardly notice it unless you play millions of games. And yes you can lose everything even with 0% HE, why not? Nobody's guaranteed to win a coin flip, after all.

Game with excitement often time hook people and the best part of it all is when it adventurous it keeps players in the suspense that make them want more, so developing a game requires lots of predetermined thought of an unending adventure that can keep player hooked up to it.

I am asking this because I do have some short of an answer for videogames and for massive multiplayer games and even for social network oriented games. Videogames require a great design, good difficulty grading, an story that engages the user, massive multiplayer and network oriented are a lot about the interactions and how varied and fun these are. However, for casino games, it would seem that these factors are not really the most important ones. You can see games with very basic graphics and design, simple in the options for the player and not that engaging yet they do "hook" people in them.
What do these games have to have for you?

The game that caught my attention are the games that of course proved to be fair, and had a good multiplier range, eg up to 1 million times. An attractive design but not necessarily with heavy graphics. And one more thing, roll speed that doesn't disappoint (fast and smooth).

For me its a must that the game is not boring, easy to play and of course there's a chance to win. The fact that you can double your money in snap is attractive because its effortless though not easy (we all know most games are based on luck). Crypto casinos became popular especially during lockdown as an alternative to satisfy ourselves. I think the good thing about playing online is the convenience that even we're lying in the bed, we can still access the game as long as we have a gadget.

There are many variables included in this, I'll explain some.
- In slots people see the Jackpot, FreeSpins, Number of Rewards, etc.

In slots, most people also look at the graphics of the slot game of which they're playing, however, that's the initial point while selecting the slot game after they look at the points I've stated above.

I think that emotions are the thing that hook people for a game. The joy, excitement or even stress before winning are what people seek. In rare times when I gamble, I seek for "Aaahhhh!" moment in every game. For example in popular game such as mines music plays that "Aaahhh!" moment, when it makes a little pause before opening a new tile. Or on plinko, I like how I just got hypnotized when lots of balls fall down and I try to predict where each ball will go.

Yes, you are right - the main goal in gambling is emotions. Many people think that if a gambler wins a lot of money (in theory, this is his goal) then he will stop playing, but in fact this almost never happens because winning is not the main goal of a gambler who is dependent on the emotions that the game gives him.

It is now a big trend have you heard or read Axie infinity, people now can make money playing and breeding their online pets and it's not few bucks there are people who are making thousands of dollars playing this game, the design is not that great but people are attracted to this kind of game because of people posting their payout proof,

Yes, compared to other games, the design and layout of Axie Infinity are not that great and I doubt it will get the interest of other people if it has no play-to-earn feature. But because of its gameplay especially the feature to earn real money, it hooked those people even with no knowledge at all to crypto and those who aren't interested in playing an online game.

I like the design and the same being hooked on that game are the gamblers being hooked on the games that they play. Because of the scheme of play to earn, that makes the game became more popular as there's a chance to make money. And that's the same in gambling, once a person starts to earn as he gambles, he will never forget that and will always sink on his mind that he's going to earn if he keeps trying and doing it again until he reaches the quota that he sets for his daily plays.

There are different ways that casinos could hook us. User Interface or the design is one of them since it is the first thing we will see when we open that casino, Sometimes we also tend to judge the casino's reliability depending on how it looks. Ugly casinos tend to be sketchy since it is obvious that not a lot of effort or budget has been put into the design itself. A new type of game could personally hook me, not just the remodeled kind of game. Also, the back job support is important as well as the technical features of the casino such as the house edge, The way how they choose to be fair, and other factors.

I get you... that happened to me recently! I was playing "San Quentin Xways", NoLimit provider... when you get some big payout in the bonus round a big guy starts throwing money and yelling "Show me the money, show me the money"! It's a moment worth waiting for!
I guess if a game is good it will provide many emotions, it's not a game if we always win, sometimes trying to be better, pushing, problems solving, leveling up... and the rewards that come after are what we searching far!

Plinko is probably one of the craziest gambling games ever! I like to play with many balls and to wait for some big hit... and that big hit comes sometimes!

High profitability is the major factor that makes me and other gamblers get hooked to specific games. In reality every user have different reason for playing different games and the hope of winning keeps them hooked than those strategies and regular moves.

Taking into account that most gamblers are long term losers and they still gamble in the same casino I do not think this is as important as it may seem at first glance, to me a lower house edge and decent bonuses are a good measure to keep people playing in your casino as this shows that you appreciate your clients, however the most important factor that will not hook players but that will bring them to the casino in the first place is a good reputation.

Naturally, the opportunity to win money pushes players, on the contrary, it's good that the design is simple and everything loads quickly, reacts. So as not to be distracted and it was immediately clear what happened on the slots

I think that online casinos primarily attract people to win! If a person loses money all the time, no amount of graphics or fun pictures will keep them at such a casino!
So it seems to me that even if the site has primitive games and low quality graphics, but there are frequent winnings, that's what attracts people!

Agreed, maybe it's about 0% house edge, so betting on sites that are low in graphics won't be a problem either if players are easy to win. But unfortunately, it's like a fantasy because we know every casino has a house edge which I think is also a fair game, because winning and losing in gambling is common. But indeed, by having the lowest possible house edge, then of course it will be able to hook a lot of people.

Gambling games become even more interesting if given a bonus, this does look simple but has proven to be effective. Will make gamblers continue
to play in the gambling game, because gamblers want to be able to get the bonus given. Another thing gambling sites have to do to be able to attract
the attention of gamblers, of course by means of regular promotions. The promotion must be done in a unique way too, in order to make gamblers
curious, and finally interested in playing gambling in the games offered.

Maybe the casino will make an event every week or bi-week to give more chances to gamblers to get more than usual. The casino really knows how to make a gambler satisfy and come back to them and make sure to serve them better. Yes, once a gambler attracts and feels satisfied, they will come back and use more money to play gambling. If they do that, the casino will treat them and maybe give more bonuses for their deposit.

Some casinos are already doing what you say, by holding regular events, then give a bonus to gamblers who make a deposit with a certain
amount. Therefore there are several casinos that can still run for a long time, even though there are a lot of competitors emerging. That's because
the casino already understands how to satisfy gamblers, because gamblers will continue to play at the casino if they are satisfied with what
the casino provides. If gamblers are comfortable with the casino, usually gamblers don't mind spending a lot of money at the casino.

Players satisfaction on where these kind of businesses do really focus on and despite on having lots of competitors then you can really those casinos who do able to handle out the business
those perks and bonuses are just typical to be found and its impossible for a gambling site on not to offer, it would just matter in the difference on how generous or good it would be
for the gamblers because people do usually get hooked if they do saw some good deal into other places compared into the current place they are playing on.
So its a matter of peoples choice and only the best one would really be able to sustain for that long.

I have to admit that the competition in the online gambling industry is very tough, to survive in the gambling industry it is necessary to make
gamblers satisfied. Because gamblers only play on the best platforms, because the best platforms can give them satisfaction when playing gambling.
Therefore, many gambling sites provide many attractive offers and gambling sites will always maintain their reputation. This is all done so that
gamblers are not interested in playing on other gambling sites.

Most probably that will depend on how the game works and based on the standard of the gamer, if you appreciate that kind of game then you'll play but if not, even if it has a good graphic design then you'll still not play. It's hard to attract players, the team must do everything one big help is their promotions, if there's a good bonuses then chances are, players will come.

Yes it will be hard to attract players but that doesn't mean that they can't attract players. Also, it's not like the players have a choice when it comes to this because if they are loyal to the site, they will probably eat up all the games that the site will serve to them.

Good user experience in terms of games offered and the perks been offered.This is one of the main things or reasons on why people do stick out on a certain gambling site.

Each of us does have its own preference when it comes to places on where we do like to play.When our experience is good and the bonuses do really interest you out.

Gambling site owners would really be doing all sorts of things just to make people do stick out into their site.So this would vary and outcome would be entirely differ.

Even if we have our own unique preferences, it's not like the gambling site is going to do what you want, they will probably choose what's best and the players will just have to make do with what's on the table. UX is important because as you have said it's what makes people stay, but some sites forget or are bad at this part. I think that it's a commendable effort that they are doing anything unless it's bad to make it good for the business.

Only gamers will be hooked on those usual games, as they should be. But for other people to get involved, they need a big reason why should they play a certain game, and mostly, they want a profitable game on which these blockchain games made possible.

In blockchain games can make good money only players who joined the game among the very first players by buying game items and characters for small money that eventually rose in price due to increased demand and the rest just spend their money trying to catch up with them in development that is very difficult to do.

That casino will not have a problem with the competitor because they know that if they can give satisfaction to their members, they will not lose their members, even they will get more members because they are generous and always think about them. That is the key to every business that wants to have many members or customers and will not let their customers or members be disappointed even for just a little mistake. That can be a reason for a gambler to be hooked at the casino and not want to move to the other casino even if the other casino can give more than that because the member feels comfortable staying at that casino.
