Topic: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? - page 11. (Read 1797 times)

I can't agree less with you, in Nigeria, today many sports bet shops are springing up in almost every corners of the country, another is lotto shops, they're just getting too much for my liking. So with my observation in my country, I'd say that it's the inhouse gambling that'll have more addicts, because you'll see these shops filled with gamblers of all ages, morning till night, even the older folks are very active perticipants. I believe that this is so because of the massive publicity by the bet companies, you'll see them in big electronic billboards, on media sites and on tv advertising their bet companies.

Due to the economic hardship, many turn to gambling, not for fun but to make ends meet, thinking that it's a get rich quick scheme, before you know it, they've become addicted, and spending all day in bet shops.

I think the answer to this question may actually vary from person to person because many gamblers turn to different options and accordingly some of them become addicted to gambling. For example, a person may like poker, blackjack and similar games played at the table but may not like gambling games such as slots, plinko or keno. On the contrary, someone who likes gambling games such as slots, plinko or keno may not like poker, blackjack and similar games played at the table. In this case, it will be difficult to clearly state which type of gambling games are more addictive.

Of course, since the situation I mentioned was based on an example of only two people, I couldn't give a clear answer based on this example. In order to make generalizations, it is also possible to conduct surveys on hundreds or even thousands of gamblers to find out which types of gambling games most easily cause addiction. The main point I want to make here is that gambling addiction is a personal thing and varies from person to person.

I think that any game, which has quick or short betting rounds makes persons more addicted to gambling then any other gambling activity. Shortly speaking, any game where you can win quickly and easy. And playing online stimulates addiction to grow faster than playing offline. Lets take DICE for example. One click is one bet, and if quick mode is turned on, then in a second you win money. And lets compare it with table game as roulette. First you place bet and you have to at least think a second where to place a bet, then you wait for other players to place bet (if you play offline), watch ball spins. It is 1 second vs half a minute as minimum. While in roulette player makes one bet, in DICE other player makes 30. Then what causes addiction? Single action or doing something multiple times which later a person will do on reflexes.

Traditional casinos and Sports betshops are less addictive compared to online casino and sport bets, I will tell why it's so;

Online gambling is with ease and simplicity in carrying it out as a gambler with just a click on your gadget screen in your comfortable position you can gamble as much and long as you want and there's something about comfort and less noisy places while gambling, you get carried away that you end up gambling beyond how you had planned to,

but for in-house gambling only the distance covered to the gambling house can be discouraging some times particular under a hot weather and you just decide to cancel your gambling for that day, even the noise from within other gamblers and machines in the house can make you uncomfortable that you don't have to spend much time as you would comfortably gambling online within your closet.

Another argument is that, online gambling gives privacy to gamblers specially to those gamblers that seek to keep their gambling habit private. And there are many found under this category, etc.

The tradition comes in second position from what I have explained above, notwithstanding all patterns of gambling are addictive and people should consciously fight to resist any form that which the addiction can be gotten.

Roulette is for me , but you are right that slot games is the most popular that is why there is so much slot machines available in every casino houses that can be used instantly.
depending on your behavior,character and attitude to what will be your faith in gambling.

greed, constant need for money and love for money is the main cause.
this is what Online gambling provides, more addicting and engaging.

Gambling is certainly much more accessible than it was in the past; thus, it's easier to end up addicted because you can do it pretty much everywhere, 24/7, and usually with minimum requirements. Physical casinos are also made to be highly addictive by design. They have no windows and no clocks in order to make you lose track of time and spend more time than you originally anticipated.

In terms of the OP's question, slots, dice, crashes, crazytime, and a few similar ones with extravagant multipliers are at the top of the list for the most addictive and nerve-racking games. I'd also add football betting to the list, as it's one of the most common discussions among gamblers and football fans.

The most captivating casino game globally is slots, the jackpot element and payout ratio makes it a non fading option for millions of gamblers, as per data, the second most addictive gambling game is Roullete and Black Jack.

Every gambling games can turn you into addict and that's because of what gamblers want, money is the major reason every gamblers are gambling, but since it's almost impossible to win, many have gotten smarter and decide to gamble only when they can afford it and with the amount they are ready to lose.

Now gamblers prefer to enjoy their times betting on games or sit back and watch a game with little money bet on the game, which makes it a entertainment idea.

Yes you are absolutely right, I don't really know about slots games but with the help of my little research, I found out that some gamblers easily become addicted to the game played.
I see, there is no need to argue anymore as slot has the most addicted gambler in the world, but still on the same thing that all games are the same because gamblers can easily become addicted to them if only the just decide to chase their loses or allows the bet to take advantage of them instead of allowing the luck of gamble.

It seems like the answers will vary because everyone has different preferences when it comes to gambling. In my area, the majority of gambling addicts are into slot games and lotteries. Both types of gambling are widely popular here, with small bets placed every day.

For slots, many people can play them online, so users nowadays aren't restricted by time and place to enjoy slot games. Despite various warnings about the dangers of playing slots, it seems less effective. There are still many people playing slots, and some of them get lucky while others end up losing. The addiction arises because it seems like they want to avenge their losses.

As for lottery games, I often find people addicted to offline versions. Lottery number buyers try their luck every night at 11 PM. Their bets are small, just $1, and they do it every day for their own amusement. In a month, they usually get one win.

As for myself, I like betting on football, especially in the English Premier League (EPL).

I also saw that slot games are the type of game that has the most number of addicts, because they offer fast, exciting games and jackpot opportunities for the players. Slot games are also now very easy for players to access using their smartphones and for just a few dollars someone can play them. It's also easy to play because you just tap the screen (online) or press the lever on the machine (offline). And because of this, this type of game has many addicts globally.

With this scenario, you can then agree that soccer betting addiction could be the number one because soccer is more popular among the youths and adults, I believe it is the most played gambling game and if it is the most that means it is the more likely that people will get addicted to.

The reason that soccer will be the most addicted game is that it is available both offline and online making it open to those who play offline to also play online through the casino but the casino games are not readily available offline. Moreover, a good number of offline gamblers may not be playing any game online making the chances to visit or play casino games limited. Therefore, the chances of more addiction in football gambling is higher with the high rate of participants in football gambling.

Not really. The most addictive games are the ones that can be played faster, so online games are more addictive than face-to-face games (online roulette over physical roulette, online poker over face-to-face poker, etc.).

In the 90's people went broke betting on horse races because they didn't have internet on their cell phones. Today they can bet 24/7/365 on a lot of varieties very quickly.

In my opinion what takes the cake would be slots.

When we gamble without being able to control ourselves or being greedy in gambling, of course we will easily become addicted to gambling and this is really a very bad thing for the income we have, because more of the money we have will be spent on gambling than we will use it for our needs. which is what we need.
If we consider gambling as a place to make money, I think this is not very good, because very few people can win the gambling they play consistently, only luck can win them in gambling.
Those who will look for loans to be able to gamble, of course they are very addicted to gambling and this is not very good for themselves and their families, so it would be better for them to be able to control their desire to gamble so that it doesn't have bad consequences for their families or themselves.

Slots will be on top of the list here, and those slot operators as far as I know even hired psychologist or at least hire them in helping design new games base on what people wanted to see that will entice them to gamble more and then become addicted.

So every slot theme design are carefully manufactured by this operators to attract us. And then we have simple games like roulette and dice, who for some gamblers, it's purely base on their luck or how to predict what will be the next numbers that is going to win. So it's also has some psychological effects to us to feel good whenever we win on those games and we think that we can predict every outcome.

According to my experience every person who is connected in gambling of any type will be addicted towards gambling because in gambling a person aims to make bet for earning money so they are not concern with the type of gambling but are carving to gamble.

 I assume that all people who first initiate from Casino will move towards other types of gambling because if they failed to earn through Casino and don't find it beneficial then they want to take the taste of every other source of gambling as they are craving for earning more money in less time.

They are in search of finding a jackpot and leave the Gambling but if the find a jackpot then they used that amount at once in a gambling and loss all the amount so now they will beg in front of other to supply them some amount to carry out their gamling.

The existence of the maximum chance of winning instantly and suddenly, makes me believe that your idea is correct about gambling which has more potential to make someone addicted, namely the type of slot gambling, not only that because there are quite a lot of other things that look very tempting there, and Also, this type of gambling is quite easy to do, it doesn't take long for anyone to adapt to the appearance of some of the features there.

In my opinion, casinos in slot gambling use a nicotine-like algorithm which can stimulate part of the gambler's brain with one simple scenario, namely thwarting a win that the gambler should be able to win, and from there usually the gambler will start to have a high level of curiosity and hope so that Unconsciously and as time goes by they get deeper into their involvement and obviously usually they don't really care about the risks because their main focus is winning and on the other hand behind the scenes what happens is that the casino slowly drains their money in every session they do.

I don't find one over the other because I see people addicted to casino games as well as poker where they bet against other player,s not against the house, and sports betting is no exception to it, and the classic example is horse race betting which is in practice for very long and I remember rich guys in the 90's went broke because they were obsessed with horse race betting.

I think the games that have the most impact on gambling addiction are those with instant payouts and bright flashing colors and loud sounds. Games like slots, in other words. They were designed to psychologically keep you glued to the screen and to keep going and going. Those are the ones which utilize psychological tricks to distract your brain and make it believe you are receiving rewards when you are in fact, losing money.

Me either.

All of them are addictive and whether physical or online, most of the games are really enjoying and can make someone out of his mind when can't control it anymore.

We see sportsbettors here are everywhere, casino games are also in every place so there goes that despite we have our differences and types of games, there's no distinctive games that makes a gambler addicted because all of them can.

I say slots. I've seen a lot of people on casinos in Las Vegas, as well as videos of it in the internet where people literally piss themselves in their seats cause they can't let go of their spots. That's fucking insane if you'll ask me. No one in their right minds are going to be willing to risk public humiliation, more so a massive inconvenience to themselves and the people that work for the casino, not even for a penny, and yet these people do on the daily.

I also read about stories about people who literally go bonkers on the slot machine, clawing at the screen and all that shit thinking all that ritualistic bullcrap's gonna help them get the jackpot when we all know that the system is rigged against the player. Never have I seen a playerbase as hostaged as the slot machine fanatics, they're literally indoctrinated into thinking that they are getting a massive W out of the ordeal when all that's happening is that they embarrass themselves, they become a massive problem inside and outside the casino, and most of all they risk getting addicted into a game that's never going to give them the W they need, and even if they do get that, pretty sure they'd just return the next day to splurge it all on the same screen, pissing on the same seat.

I know this doesn't make sense, at least when you contextualize it based on the parameters set by OP. But I implore you to take a look at your local brick and mortar casino, or perhaps just surf the internet and look for slot machine addicts. Then you'd understand what I'm trying to say.
