The most popular type of gambling, yes we can certainly conclude it correctly and without realizing and calculating well through consensus, the type of gambling is slots, I will not doubt that about slots, because I also prefer slots actually than other gambling.

This is because it is easier and simpler but has a big possibility with luck, and I think most people prefer this because sometimes using small money can get very large money from gambling, and that's what makes addiction and people continue to feel curious to try and try again, until they are addicted to slot gambling, and yes, the most cases of people who are addicted today are those who have an addiction to slots games.

I think you are very correct mate, slot games are really simple and on the same sense more addictive too because if you start to look at the whole thing you will find out that it really doesn't take much to win on slots game infact for every game in slot I think luck has the bigger factor but a lot of gamblers that play these slots game don't understand this as they feel sometimes they can actually force their luck to it.

Slot games are one of the most popular games among gamblers because of the ease of playing this game. We only need to spin a spin and so on, and when we are lucky we can get a maximum win which can be thousands of times the amount of money we bet. Indeed, I also see almost every gambler's hangout, there will always be a slot game that they play.

However, in my opinion, this game depends entirely on luck, because there is nothing we can predict from this game. Unlike sports betting, for example, we can see which team is stronger and we can bet on them. In slot games we only see symbols dropping randomly and we never know what will happen next. One thing that is also popular is that when players get free spins, usually they will be happy when they get them, even though they don't know how much money they can win from the free spins.

This is because the game is simpler and easier to play, some people even dare to use bigger money to try greater luck, even though they only force themselves that they have to be lucky in one night.

Slots are also flexible and do not need to wait for any event to start, like football for example, it is necessary to do research or look at the aspects first to make a conclusion before betting, but if it's on the slot, you just need to click and keep playing your spins until you get lucky, so what can make most people lazy to think and prefer things that are easier to play.

Yes, free spins are like miracles in a slot game and there these gamblers are waiting for a miracle that changes their lives.

Addiction is addiction, it takes different forms according to the tastes and needs of different people. Gambling, of course, varies by person and age. Some are addicted to sportsbetting while others are addicted to dice, poker, rolling. But one thing is very important that nowadays young generation is getting deeply addicted to online gambling especially sports betting. The young generation is increasing their interest in online gambling as online gambling has more benefits than offline gambling.

Like you rightly said, gambling addiction will always be gambling addiction regardless of the type of gambling the addiction came from. There are so many types of gambling and different people prefer different gambling engagements but when you talk about the one with most gambling addicts, I don't think there's anyone that beats sports betting and that's because of the popularity of sports betting. Football is a globally known sports and many people across the globe tends to have the knowledge of football which is why many will always want to put their knowledge of football to test by engaging in sports betting. The introduction of online betting in different sites have helped significantly improve the number of gambling addicts in sports betting because different people irrespective of their locations are free to gamble using the internet.

As we don't know the exact figures of gambling addicts, I tried to search about published stats related to this topic. As you said, there are so many types of gambling and quite hard to come up with a conclusion which games are the top ones to be played by these people. And based from this, slot machines came up at the top, which for me is quite we anticipated because slot games are one of the popular games among gamblers. We have seen hundreds of variations of this game.

This article is quite interesting to read and see the current stats in gambling. Also, in this article, it says that currently, about 81% are online gamblers worldwide. That's huge already. Now, we can understand that online gambling industry is indeed on the rise and is continuously gaining more patrons.

If you are gambling constantly and you have the mindset to make money from gambling, then you are likely going to end up being addicted to gambling. Because even when you are losing, you will always have the confidence that you are going to win If you don’t give up, then you will continue gambling, and when you are winning, most people are always finding it difficult to stop gambling because they will start thinking about how they will be able to win back the amount of money they lost a few days ago, so they won’t want to stop.

Making money of gambling is very possible but gambling with such mindset has been what many have been warning against, this mindset is what drives many into gambling addiction and sometimes they end up not not winning games as much as they aught to because they grow greedy and even maintain a bad and unhealthy gambling habit, they end up. Controlling yourself at both extreme has become a big challenge such that winning or loosing has never been a guarantee to the fact that you are going to be able to stop at once.

Some persons get pumped up the more to gamble when they are loosing while some gets same when they are loosing, some also have the experience at both extreme and they exhaust their money when loosing before they eventually gets to stop.

In the current situation in my country most young boys and girls are more attracted to gambling. Betting on football and cricket in particular i.e. sports betting is becoming hugely popular. Youngsters bet on cricket matches and football matches from various betting sites and casinos. Moreover, since online gambling is an easy gambling system for the younger generation, these accessible gambling systems are more attractive to the younger generation than the old ones. Due to this our future generation will be under serious threat.

Who do you think is responsible for that? I would blame the parents who are not even aware of what their children are doing daily, whether they are focusing on their studies and careers or are involved in things such as gambling or drugs, if parents can't take care of their children and put them into good things, they will surely get into such things because they are not mature enough to understand what is good and what is bad for them.

Some people say that casinos shouldn't allow them to gamble, I don't think that is the solution of this problem because in online casinos, you are not asked for anything unless they ask you for KYC verification and anyone can gamble for as long as they aren't asked to provide an identity and kids these days make use of this opportunity.

Everyone is responsible, to blame parents exclusively about what is happening is the easy way out, it is true that parents need to do what they can, but kids are not helping at all as they know their parents are nowhere near as good with the new technologies as they are, so they can hide their gambling with ease, and finally if casinos are going to ask you for your personal information anyway once you attempt to make a withdrawal, then the rules must be changed so they ask for that information upon registration, as by doing things this way they are making it harder for minors to gamble at all.

Even playing one particular game everytime can lead to addiction. Addiction comes when we are doing one thing over a period of time.

If you are gambling constantly and you have the mindset to make money from gambling, then you are likely going to end up being addicted to gambling. Because even when you are losing, you will always have the confidence that you are going to win If you don’t give up, then you will continue gambling, and when you are winning, most people are always finding it difficult to stop gambling because they will start thinking about how they will be able to win back the amount of money they lost a few days ago, so they won’t want to stop.

Constant practice of certain activities can lead to addiction. For example, when someone begins gambling and does it consistently, especially with the aim of becoming rich, addiction can easily follow. I knew someone who, within just three months of starting to gamble, became addicted. It believed that gambling would make him rich, mainly because a friend of his had won a significant amount of money.

With this mindset, he thought he could achieve the same success through gambling. However, he soon found himself addicted and struggled to control this new habit. In fact, his addiction became so severe that he ended up selling many of his possessions within those three months. This example highlights how quickly and destructively gambling can become an addiction when someone is driven by the belief that it will lead to financial gain.

He believes that he can attain equal success through betting with a similar mindset. But the truth is far from it. He finds himself soon addicted and unable to control this new habit, a struggle. An addiction grew so strong that he parted with almost all his belongings within that short period, three months.

You provided an example: the quick and destructive nature of gambling as an addiction when one believes it will lead to financial gain. It must be understood that gambling is not a reliable means of attaining wealth, unrealistic expectations coupled with success stories of others can mislead. Ultimately, a gambling addiction has the potential to ruin life itself. In preventing addiction through habit management and setting realistic expectations, we thus seek balance between financial wellness and emotional well-being.

.... The young generation is increasing their interest in online gambling as online gambling has more benefits than offline gambling.

Actually, the interest for gambling in the youngest generation of gamblers has much to do on how shift and fast-faced casinos and and bookies are getting. It is a phenomenon which is not exclusive to gambling, actually, as technology allows for computers to get faster and the internet speed gets also faster with the years the youngest generations seem to have grown incompatible with waiting times for anything. It would be very difficult for a millennial or a zoomer / generation Z person to wait for days or weeks to know the result of their bets or the result of the lottery ticket they bought. That is why much of the new generation of gamblers prefer to gamble from a computer, those who still rather gambling in person (in a brick and mortar casino) it is because the lack of socialization is a deal breaker for them.

I still have a strong impression those games which are fast-paced and consist only in pushing a button (like on slots) are more likely to turn people into gambling addicts, though, it is just a personal thought.

Even without any formal statistics, any type of gambling has equal chances of having a more potential addict, they are based on individuals approach on gambling activities. However, not adhering to the various principles of obtaining a good and responsible gambling practice can possibly lead addiction irrespective of the kind of gambling, principles such as :

1.Don't gamble with an amount that you can not afford to lose

2. Don't Chase your losses

3. See gambling as a fun play, game or entertainment, anything more than that gambling can become problematic

4. Don't borrow to gamble

5. Know your limit and stay within it

6. Monitor the time you spend on gambling

7. Mixed up gambling with other activities, many more but this few to be mention.

I think it can vary from person to person. Because as far as I've seen I've seen people addicted to sports betting as well as casino slot games. But what I have seen in my own case is that sometimes I can't control myself while playing casino slot games which increases my losses so I would say in my case the addiction to casino slot games is more.

I guess we are program differently when it comes to loss because the anger in me will make me close that game immediately when the loss becomes a normal thing, there is nothing palatable in gambling and losing. As for the addiction, I think experience and individuality is what determines how addictive people become with gambling. If you are the kind of person that is use to casino games and you don't have self control, you will be addicted to casino games and vice versa with sport betting.

Addiction is simple thing that anyone can avoid but our sense of think has weak point and this weak points differs from one person to another. When you put money before anything in gambling, you are likely to become addicted in any type of gambling whether it's sport betting, casino games or even street games. The only way to protect yourself from gambling addiction is if you remove the love for too much money and focus on just trying to win, then money will follow later.

All types of gambling can lead to addiction, but one particular type in most cases is very common. One thing about sport betting most of the time is that it's a seasonal game, which means when the season is over, the gambler will have time to go for a break nothing to trigger the addiction anymore.

Since it's just something you can play whenever you visit the casino, if you don't have self-control and you are the type that's in love with slot games, it's very easy for you to get addicted to them very easily, and you can't even stop yourself from playing until you are running low on your balance.

we cannot tell the kind of gambling that people get addicted to nobody knows the specific one but I believe that the gambling that take over everywhere is most especially casino kind of gambling and the soccer kind of gambling many people in local environment get addicted to soccer gambling but people who is into cryptocurrency is one that always develop that interest for casino kind of gambling because they have different alternatives to credit the account through cryptocurrency so making comparison for people who is addicted in gambling basically different kind of gambling that we all know today I can choose two options casino gambling and the soccer gambling this are two people who always been addicted and gambling because then takes gambling very serious.

Even playing one particular game everytime can lead to addiction. Addiction comes when we are doing one thing over a period of time. Gambling become an addiction when we keep trying everyday to make winnings and it got to a poing when we are become less disciplined with a lot of procrastination when we ought to do other things. We can get addiction even in bad character so it does not depend on the kind of games or bets we are taking. The most important thing is for us to be wise and make sure we control our urge when it comes to gambling. When we find it difficult to control our emotions then that kind of betting is becoming an addiction.

Yea, you are right. Gambling addiction sprout from the lack of self control and discipline of the gambler. If a gambler teaches themselves not to get addicted and they also abide by the rule they create to help them stand disciplined, then they can not get addicted. There is no type of gambling that doesn't have addicted gamblers and you can not really tell the type of gambling that has more addicted victims. I sometimes feel that the score is just the same.

In my sports betting, I solely gamble for the money, and the reason is that I saw the less risky opportunity there, and till today, what I have been doing for about two decades is yet to make me get addicted. This is why our mindset towards gambling matters so well, we should never believe that it is the avenue through which we will earn that millions to get rich in life. Instead, we should have a neutral mind about it, and even if our goal is to make money, it should be done conservatively in such a way that a viable plan that will help our budget and management and also preserve our psychology towards it is properly tabled down.

Yes, this actually sparked an argument with my friends and me before now. They were of the opinion that sport betting is less risky than casino games, and as such, it cannot make a gambler addicted and can also be profitable, but I always countered them with my own opinion that there are no kind of games that cannot make a gambler addicted. You are right in saying that it depends on mindset. Humans respond differently to things; some gamblers cannot be into sports betting for two decades without getting addicted.

Sport betting was also how I started gambling, and it's been 5 years and I'm still not addicted. I do bet on casino games too, and I'm still not addicted. Conclusively, I agree that being addicted depends on our mindset towards gambling.

I believe your friends are insensitive about that, any risky activity can get you addicted because when the term "risky" is involved, then it has to do with money. Now tell me, who doesn't want to be rich when they see an opportunity? That is what is actually entrapping the minds of the gamblers and get addicted to it. For this, sports betting can't be excluded from it, it is risky as well, except that casino gambling is riskier, and it is more reason why I make sure that I gamble casinos for fun, it is the sports betting I take seriously when it comes to the money-making. Even at that, I make sure that I have the thick line between making money through gambling with a neutral mind and being desperate for it as if it is what will make me rich or will be a source of living for me. I always opt strictly for the first. Gambling generally has to be carefully approached, otherwise, it will corrupt our minds regardless of which branch (casino/sports) it is.
