Topic: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? (Read 1765 times)

people comes with different thoughts, different mentality and based on such things, their choices will be different from each other. So every games have their own addicted players and most of people commented this line already. So its difficult to say and it depends on a country too. if Gamble is not legal in any country, then you see less gamblers in gambling shop in their country but maybe they select online casino for gambling & already get addicted on it. If a country have open slot machine, then you'll found more addicted gamblers there. You may find addicted gambler with Blackjack or something esle.That's the case. For me, i like roulette online but not addicted self control is most significant thing in this field, IMHO

What are you talking about? I don't think that most gambling addicts are sports bettors because sports betting isn't that addictive and gambling games are way more addictive than it such as slots, dice, roulette, or any other gambling game that is played by most gamblers in a casino.

In my opinion, slots are the game that is the reason for most gamblers becoming addicts and the reason behind that is the graphical gameplay of it and most importantly, the multipliers slots games offer to the gamblers which mostly lures a lot of people towards it.

Slots are also the most played casino and gambling games in the world as far as I know.

Apart from that, slots are still very popular game among gamblers who have been gambling for long time even for those who are beginners, besides that there are lots of streamers who still use slot games as their mainstay game in getting big wins to attract the interest of gamblers.
However, even though this is game can cost money round after round, it still provides curiosity and fun for anyone who plays it, this is like magnet that attracts gamblers for an indeterminate amount of time.
For example, in the country I live in, even though gambling is an activity that is really considered bad, many young people are so crazy about slot games that they lose direction in life because they don't want to work.
They get confidence and also feel confident that this game can provide satisfaction with the success of winning big, but they don't realize that what they are doing is the beginning of problems they never imagined.

But that is very rare because those who are disciplined are unlikely to see anything related to gambling, unless they are also gamblers, but I think the percentage is very small if consider disciplined gamblers.
Curiosity is temptation and this is the most difficult thing for gamblers to avoid and suppress.

Yes and one of the types of gambling that now looks very popular is slot machines one of them and maybe the following is also poker that you mentioned, there are so many things that look tempting in these two types of games, especially slot games, where casinos provide maximum winning opportunities to all players who play, but for percentage problems it remains the same as in general that the percentage of losses is always greater than wins, and actually the maximum winning opportunities that exist in this type of bet are nothing more than something specifically intended to lure most gamblers to act increasingly excessive.

I say that this type of game is purely about luck and someone will never be able to stop if they basically do not have any limits and controls and usually many typical gamblers like that in this type of game, they are difficult to control themselves because there are so many things that look tempting like the temptation of the maximum winning opportunities provided, but obviously getting it is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of the game, then you've come to the right place, and you're looking for the best way to get the most out of the game.

I agree with you , I think that one of the games that can bring the most addiction are the most popular, among the most popular because there are the slots, that basically things are like that, I say that before the most popular game was poker, for What before there were many PVP tournaments and that was really entertaining and had a lot of Acceptance, in addition there were more options to win, the slots are exciting, they make anyone like to interact and above all win, and what is most striking is that a game like lsots where with little money you can win a lot, because it is something that is much more engaging.

This is a fucking advantage of what the slots have, only because by winning more some players increase the bets, with the desire to have a good Stroke of luck to win big, this can basically be limited to something we know as a dangerous attraction , and that same thing can lead us to think that we are falling into what a casino is looking for, attraction, betting , and that we forget a little about what they call, "house advantage."

This is the type of thing that we are always going to consider, in the same way I consider that in slots as in any game one must play with great restraint, and always considering that things are better when we control our money.

Of course all types of gambling have elements that can make anyone addicted, and if there were no such elements there would be no more gamblers, and maybe they would come just to try, but in fact the majority of gamblers always persist and even act excessively to pursue something that looks as tempting as victory. Which means that the opportunity to win is what makes gamblers always feel addicted to continuing to play, sometimes even losing track of time.

Yes, I agree with you that of the many types of gambling, I would also say that slot type gambling is the one that has a fairly high level of addiction because the first type of gambling is very easy to reach and play, which means it makes it easier for all gamblers who want to play without must have any experience, and another thing that makes the possibility of addiction high is because there are quite large wins such as the maximum wins provided in pragmatic play games, there are several of my friends who also managed to get it but to get it you have to really be in it. good luck situation, many people lose large amounts of money without realizing it due to their dominating emotions, and yes, it is clear that however it is recommended to be a responsible gambler because with this you will not experience a significant amount of loss.

There is indeed prevalence of gambling addiction among casino gamblers compared to sports bettors. But Casino games are often more accessible and heavily marketed compared to sports betting. Casinos, both physical and online, invest significant resources in advertising and promotions to attract players. This increased exposure can contribute to higher rates of addiction among casino gamblers simply because they are more likely to encounter opportunities to gamble.

Many casino games are designed with features that encourage repetitive play and can be highly addictive. These design elements can contribute to the development of addictive behaviors among casino gamblers. The atmosphere in casinos can create a social environment that fosters gambling behavior. People may feel more pressure to keep playing when surrounded by others who are doing the same that leads to excessive gambling and potential addiction. Casino games may offer the potential for larger winnings, but they also carry higher financial risks. The thrill of chasing big payouts can be enticing, but it can also lead to significant losses, which can exacerbate addictive tendencies. Certain types of gambling may be more inherently addictive due to their design or financial stakes, but people susceptibility to addiction can be influenced by factors such as mental health issues, and life circumstances.

Without any doubt the most popular type that has more gambling addicts is sport betting, it’s a very common and known as the first and easiest game to play. It was developed over the years from taking bets manually and simple ways to participate, until nowadays where sport betting with sportsbooks has more features and different odds on every game, this development happened over the years because people were interested and gambled money on such type of gambling which makes it have more addicts than any other game due to it popularity.

Many gambling addictions appeared with time and development, the last exciting thing known these days are slots, it has many options and several games, seeing many gamblers go crazy about it and spend millions for just to have and helpfully get huge profits, I don’t think there will be any official statistics or research about this case yet!

Your view is correct that all types of gambling games have the potential to make a gambler addicted, but usually games that provide fast money such as slots or dice are types of gambling games that can make someone an addict more quickly and precisely.  For this reason, all gamblers need to anticipate that their gambling activities do not cause them to become gambling addicts, as usual, being a responsible gambler is highly recommended.

Another thing that adds to and contributes to slot production among addicts is the fact that every minute there is a game to play; it does not take time for a new game to start just after the last one ends, and the more one watches the games of previous participants and sees the little amount they used to win a jackpot, the more your urge to try again will increase, and that's how you will be spending more money than you planned to wager at that point in time.
 
Unless one is disciplined enough, it's really hard for you to have funds loaded in your casino account, and you will be watching slot games pass you by without being tempted to try your luck to see if that day will be your lucky day.

I don't know if there is an accurate measure to actually access the number of persons addicted most to one particular type of gambling as I believe the different types of gambling all have their fair rate of gambler addicts but if we are to narrow it down then I think football will be the highest as it's the most popular and even the most watched sports so it's definitely will have more addicts.

The system becomes very broad from day one because there are presence of other sectors that are also useful to the gamblers. We can never become independent over night, rather we should start planning for significant projects. Whenever I'm in the space, I always ensure to make proper runs in the system thereby giving more room for making enormous profits. The addicted gamblers will record heavy losses and they probably liquidate their accounts. Gambling are mainly for those set of people that have what it takes to accept both good and poor results.

Different gambling types would really be having that different gambling markets on which we know that to those someone who do go often on casino places are the ones considered to be an above average gamblers.
I could say that it isnt really that someone whom you do see into those local places placing up some peanut bets or playing lotteries. Just like on what you have said that there's no such precise tally
or survey about on how many is really that addicted into particular types of gambling or betting but one things for sure on here is that this gambling industry keeps on growing on which it would really be
a solid thing that do tells that demand is really that high.

This turns out to be a multi billion industry already on which do shows that there are really tons of people who are really that fond off with dealing with gambling games.
Different sets of people who do have different sets of interest and different capacities on how they do spend on.

Gambling, in all its forms, from roulette wheels to Candy Crush, taps into a primal human desire: the thrill of the chase.  The possibility of a big win, the rush of excitement, the escape from reality –  these are all powerful motivators.  But for some, this flirtation with chance can morph into a full-blown addiction.

Many who struggle with gambling addiction misunderstand randomness.  They chase elusive "winning streaks" or believe in lucky charms, ignoring the cold, hard truth: every bet is independent.  This false sense of control fuels the fire of addiction, leading to chasing losses and digging a deeper financial hole.

It's not just about the money.  Gambling can provide a temporary escape from stress, boredom, or even deeper emotional issues.  The bright lights, the constant action, the feeling of "being in the zone" – these can be highly addictive, offering a seductive alternative to dealing with life's challenges head-on.

While casinos and sports betting are classic culprits, the rise of mobile gaming presents a new challenge.  Free-to-play games with in-app purchases can be just as addictive, offering a seemingly endless chase for virtual rewards.  The line between harmless fun and problematic behavior can easily blur, especially for vulnerable individuals.

Specifically, there is no data available to point out which gambling games are people usually addicted to. But based on my observation in my place, I'd seen them addicted to the lottery. Despite their harsh living condition, they were still able to spare some money into this and even asked why. Their answers will make you think deeply and feel their sentiment.

Maybe it was a good decision or wrong but these people got into buying tickets in the hope that one day they could win the jackpot price and make their life totally changed. They are poor and the only solution that appears in their mind is to gamble because even working their whole life, their salary can't make a change in their living, they remain poor until they die.

Gambling addiction is everywhere so we can't exactly tell which type of gambling game has the most number of addicts. And besides, we don't know the stats of gamblers per game because for one, a gambler can play various games. Casino games or sportsbetting, we have no figures on this. So for me, I can't conclude any on this subject.


That is one factor to consider as well. We can't measure the level of addiction of each gambler. So how can you give numbers per category on this specific study? You need to be clear what level is the gambler is and this is quite subjective.

So, you've been chilling in this forum, right? Notice how most of the talk is about sports betting? That's kinda cool, because unlike slots or poker, you can't exactly bet on every single game happening every hour. There are breaks, which can be a good thing. You don't get sucked into that whole "one more game" loop.

Now, online poker and slots? Those are like the fast-food of gambling. Always there, whenever you have a craving.  And that's where things can get tricky. Poker can trick your brain into thinking you're in control, like you can outsmart the game. Slots? Forget about it.  All those flashy lights and near-misses?  They're like a siren song, luring you in even when you're losing.

Social media doesn't help either.  Everyone's posting their slot jackpots, making it seem like winning big is easy. But for every big winner, there's a whole army of silent losers.  The truth is, gambling should be fun, not a desperate attempt to get rich quick.

I wouldn't want to pick a side here because both the casinos and sports betting are addictive, it now depends on how we can play our way around them. I have seen sports bettors who are so addicted to it, and so are the casino bettors who cannot do anything hobby in a day without betting casinos, so it is like that. The issue is that casino addiction is not always known because people often gamble in privacy since it is not everyone that is privileged to visit sophisticated casinos for their preferred games, so online is the next option. You may not know what they are doing and it will just be like the way they handle their phones privately in which at times they could be playing games and doing some other things that will just be like normal things they do on the phone.

But really, they are gambling and will always love to do it many times a day. One thing that makes casinos so addictive is the ability to wager a small amount of money with a better possibility of winning big. This is not so convenient in sports betting as such because if you use too little money and gamble reasonably, there is no way you can gain a reasonable amount of money.

That's why gambling addiction needs to prevent by having limitations, self-control, responsibility and others. Without having all of those, someone can gets addicted to gambling easily and not taking too long to have that addicted. We can looks around us, especially if our neighborhood have many people who like playing gambling. We can observe all people who playing gambling and see what happens to them one by one and maybe we will see some people are getting addicted to gambling without they realize. Any gambling games can makes them addicted to gambling and doesn't takes too long to addicted if they can't take cares themselves while they playing gambling. We must learn many things that needs to stays away from gambling addiction so we can used gambling as a way to having fun.

I will not disagree with you at this point that games are not the cause or any facts of being more addicted on gambling. But I don't know if it's a fact or not, but most of the gambling addicted person I've seen are addicted to casino games. And those who played mostly sport betting those are not addicted they are as usual normal gamblers. I think the ratio of casino gamblers are have more gambling addicts maybe this cause of that the greedyness because Casino gambling has a chance of winning a larger amount.
