Topic: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? - page 14. (Read 2945 times)

In my country, lottery game has made a lot of gambling addicts most particularly those poor gamblers. We all know that the price at stake is highly exceptional that's why a lot of gamblers have developed passion and love for lottery game due to their greed to win from lottery gambling. Even myself I fall on it before but seeing a lot of losses outnumbered my profits, I realized that the chance to win is very slim so I have to control myself not to get addicted with it.

Yes, since slot games are popular many people generally prefer them when streaming. Although these people seem to lose money when they play slots they actually don't lose money in gambling because the gambling service they usually use sponsors them. In addition to the money they earn from their streams, generally, people with high subscribers are sponsored by the gambling service they use so they are actually loss-oriented and prefer to play slots with big bets because the big wins they make in this way can cause people watching the steams to play slots.

Such gambling addicts usually become addicted to gambling without realizing it as they think that they can regain the money they lost by playing several different gambling games without exception. Unfortunately, in such a situation they may face some financial difficulties as they usually lose more money. Especially in such cases, as the risk threshold increases in general these people lose more money and because they constantly think that they can regain these losses by gambling, they lose their awareness and lose more money in gambling.

And when we prefer gambling at home compared to other places, we should immediately stop this activity. It's better if we play outside or in a casino. Why is that, because it is feared that when we gamble too often at home, apart from causing addiction, there are concerns that the gambling activities we do become a spectacle that is not good for the family, especially for our own children. It is feared that the gambling activities we do will become a motivation for our children to do the same thing as their father, namely gambling.


Correctly! Gambling environments, especially in casinos, are often designed in such a way as to create an attractive and tempting atmosphere. Bright lights, loud sounds, and flashy colors can affect a person's brain, making him trapped in an exciting atmosphere. All of these elements can make it difficult for people to stop even if they already feel like stopping. Moreover, associations with fun and rewards can make people forget the risks and negative consequences of gambling. As a result, someone can become complacent and continue gambling without realizing the negative impacts that may arise.

Definitely sports betting and possibly E-sports as there's actually a huge number of tournaments and leagues and currently some gambling sites covered all of them and you can easily access using mobile phone, which anyone can easily be addicted this days. We don't have an actual data of course and this is only my assumptions but I think I am right, especially some of the slots providers do have strict a restriction rather than sports betting. Or maybe the other way around?

Slot games are more like Esports games. Games with immediate results have the most possibility of getting players addicted. A slot player can be carried away by quick results and won't mind the reduction of his deposited money, due to losses, and enjoy the fun of playing slots as it requires no prior skill to participate in the game. Sometimes I couldn't go a day without playing slot games with my girlfriend. The winning creeps in from time to time, but we lose out both time and money, due to the fast return of results. The football game doesn't get people easily addicted to gambling, because of the time they'll have to wait for the game to be over. But one thing is certain about sports gambling, it leads to anxiety faster than slot games. When watching soccer with a gambler, his modes and emotions are so much attached to the match, that he'll be involuntarily unhappy if a player fails to pass a ball correctly or score a goal. Such experiences are not conducive to the health of the gambler, and even if he doesn't gamble all the time like a slot gambler, he could get addicted, as a result of the previous game.

One other mistake of sports gamblers is the lack of attention to the history of a team, most of them gamble for the money and are less concerned about the formations of the team they're staking money on their match. Hence the gamblers, mostly low rollers, end up betting on games they won't watch. Regardless of the anxiety of watching the games they booked, losing consistently also exposes the gambler to being addicted. That means they'll have to gamble every weekend or even weekdays for teams or leagues they don't know anything about their origin or history. Slots can be controlled, as the results happen fast, but sports betting only gets worse coupled with the anger of losing a match. Football has this natural passion in both players and spectators that sometimes I see people cry over a football match. It's a game that connects to the brain even without gambling on it, hence the gambler will feel double pains if he loses the match and his money at the same time.

Because people prefer games where they can easily get quick wins and quick riches, so that is the most logical reason why casinos are always preferred because everyone likes something that is fast, including quickly becoming poor and also quickly going bankrupt, but in general Personally, I prefer sports betting games because they require accurate analysis and information before betting, it is very interesting and there is no rush to bet just because of the odds.

I agree with you that online gambling is very much in demand, even older people have started to switch to online casinos and they are starting to learn to use their cellphones to gamble compared to playing gambling in offline casinos, but as technology advances, everything has to keep up with the times, that's why casinos online is very popular now both young and old everyone can play the game on their cellphone.

In my opinion, all types of gambling can cause addiction if they cannot control themselves. For me, online casinos and land-based casinos have the same chance of making someone an addict, whether it's poker, lottery, dice, blackjack, slots, sports betting, etc., all of which can cause addiction. However, it seems that the most dominant slot, apart from being an easy game, slots also rely on luck, causing gamblers to become addicted to the results they will get from each round, therefore, as gamblers, we must be able to control ourselves when playing slots, even though they are interesting and there are many types, but that's it makes us more addicted.

Apart from that, we cannot underestimate other types of gambling games because other gambling games can also cause addiction, such as sports betting, where there are matches every week. For those who like sports betting, they will continue to place bets until they don't realize they are addicted, we have to be careful. Be careful with gambling games so you don't fall into addiction.

I actually do not know about others, but for me and based on my my locality, I think betting is one gambling game that most people are very addicted in, I am not actually generalizing this though, because I believe that things could be very different in some other parts of the world, but then, in this part of the world where I currently live in, there are very many betting addicts, and this I believe is due to the fact that there are not a lot of physical full-fledged gambling casinos here, but there are actually a lot of betting agents and shops.

People over here don't care much about slot games, casino games or whatever type of other games there be available to gamblers, it's all about betting for almost everyone, I on my own have never really come across a gambler here whom I can say for sure is into slot of casino games, even every one of my friends are all into betting, so for me, I think sports betting is where most gambling addicts are, based on where I currently live.

What you point out is correct. Most of the games that entertain gamblers over and over again are usually in the category of slot games, because there are many game choices in slot games that are relatively easy to win.

Even though I often play slot games, when you get lucky, you will be able to multiply the amount of your bet a lot. This has happened to me several times. Although I don't always hope to win gambling, it's my second happiness because I usually just play for fun. Although sometimes I take home gambling winnings,.

I think it's not only quite tempting but I think the slot game is very tempting, lately many gamblers have ended up addicted to this gambling compared to other types of gambling, none other than because as you said that first a lot of things look tempting when you are in a gaming session and secondly the promotions carried out by online casinos or slots are unmitigated, They have influencers in almost every social media where many people spend their leisure time playing social media, and of course with such a situation it is clearly not strange if we see many who are addicted to this type of gambling.

On the other hand, it does not know age at all, because this type of gambling is online, indirectly the ease of access and freedom in terms of playing time is one of the advantages they have compared to having to go to several physical casinos which certainly requires enough time to go home and go. In the event that you're looking for an online casino, you'll want to check out the online casino's website to see if there's anything you can do to make sure that you're getting the most out of it.

I think that an in-house gambling is the same as casino gambling. And then under them, there are also one-on-one gambling or also known as PVP. You should include sports betting too, as this is also another type of gambling. In your last sentence, I see that you are defining in-house gambling like a physical gambling, and you think more people are addicted on it, because maybe you are also spending most of your time there?

But I in our generation right now, almost all can say that online gambling is now more in-demand because it provides comfort and other benefits. But if we are talking about the games (e.g sports, or casino games) I think there are more people who are addicted to casino games, since it's much easier and faster to play.

This is not far-fetched, the closer you are to gambling unchecked, the more you gamble. This is why the online gambling platform has it, people own their gadgets and have free and easy access to their gambling platforms. What do you expect? They can deposit money through their bank apps or credit cards or cryptocurrency and other means as they like as well, so there is nothing restricting them that can discourage them from buying more time. So, if gambling is their hobby, they get to play in any little free time they get, this is where it starts and it could become so bad if not checked. This is not entirely bad if the person is such that has his mind and is responsible in his gambling activities.

But we can't all control our emotions, which makes it seem bad. Above all, it is the fault of the person, and not casinos or the fact that online gambling platforms are closer to him, we should all learn how to control ourselves and moderate our activities and note that we can't expect to have the same experience as that of the physical casinos. We need to be careful so that our mind doesn't master it on a weak note just because we are close to it.

When someone is introduced to gambling by someone, it will depend on how that person can behave. He can see what impact he feels in playing gambling at the beginning of his introduction to gambling so that he can know and if the impact he feels can have bad consequences for him, he should not continue it. He needs to make a decision to stay away from gambling and not get more involved in gambling because he has seen the impact he feels even though the impact is not big. From what he saw, he could judge that gambling required money and often, the need for that money became even greater, especially when he lost control of himself and was eager to win even more money. And it is self-control that will help him to remain aware of the impact he has felt before so that he will choose not to gamble anymore or he can gamble but with all the necessary restrictions to prevent him from becoming addicted to gambling. The temptation of gambling can be greater than he can imagine, especially if a friend invites him to gamble together. But with good self-control, he can refuse his friends' invitations because he doesn't want to experience the bad things that have happened to several people he knows.

The impact affects the minors very much and most times they don't have alternative means of changing their situations. The problem with them starts when their parents refuse to offer them funds to satisfy their online gambling urges. In a child's state of problem, the parents need to look into ways of helping the minor gambler solve his problems. But these days parents have little or no time to spend with their wards. Hence endangering the future of the younger generation. Most of them get addicted and require help, but their parent won't be able to detect that the child is going through some difficulties. The discussion session we normally had in the previous decades, with our parents is hard to find in today's world. Instead, everyone focusing on social media, parents now communicate with their kids on air, telephone, and messaging apps. The physical discussions, help the mother of a child to question the facial reaction of their child. To know what's bothering them, or to know why the child isn't interested in playing video games anymore.

These few discoveries, as described above, can help figure out that a child is now into gambling, and also prove why his pocket money keeps finishing, or why he's asking for an increment in his pocket money. Minors are naive and want to make quick money to impress their peers in school. Such things as minors weren't available in the physical casino era, and gamblers were mainly adults who could take care of their problems or decisions. Like I said earlier, their teachers in school can have extra moral classes with kids who are acting strange in school. Those who are easily provoked, don't engage in any activity, want to be left alone, undergoing depression, etc. These things are easily noticed among school children, but the administration cares less about emotional intelligence. Which is the best skill in today's world. Most kids suffer the pain of having to see their parents once a week or a month. Gambling can be their only alternative, and then they develop an addiction, putting themselves in a more serious problem, like mental disorder or depression.

I think different perspective exists because it might be worth the revelation to point out regions from countries with their own kind of gambling games and their own kinds of addict.
What am saying in general is that, whereas casino gambing might be very popular for people living in las Vegas and so much addicts can be found around the vicinity, gambling for slots, or for dice games either online or offline may have addicts specific to these gambling games in that area or region or zone.

I don't think is people that turn other people to addicts it a self made decisions if you say about introducing gambling to someone I know they will have interest and the company of people they move with if they are addicts then unconsciously it will be influence them, their is no way people that are moving with addicts can have control they will always encourage one another to gamble since their focus is money motivation will always be their and will go any lent to gamble even if they have to borrow money. And not that a lot of them even find pleasure in it they just want to win by all means and make money nothing more. And that is when they start crossing that limit and its is always very heard for them to retrace back their step very hard. Gambling is sweet when you have contentment and live free and enjoyed sport and gamble for fun even if you crave to win manage your mind properly and you are good to go. Control is the first thing you learn when anyone starts gambling.

Slot games are quite addictive because influencers promote that game and show an easy win ( easy money). Many people got crazy about it and they wanted to try it, after winning some bets, they played more and more. Quite to say that gambling tricks apply to newcomers, trying to give them an opportunity to win and attract them to gamble more but in the later part, they only just lose.
Aside from that, online casinos are flooding already, it was easy for us to access them which is why the addiction happened too fast.

Yeah, we've got more control than the newer generation because I think one reason is the strict parents that we've got. It has helped honestly and we're able to improve ourselves with that control. Instead of going to push more but we have that thinking that someone might be angry to us when we don't stop. It could be our wife, parents, kids or whosoever you can think of.

It is a mechanism that we've built over time and whichever gambling games that we play, we're all aware that it is going to make us worse whenever we lose our controls to ourselves. It's a better thinking when there are people who have been going back in time and reminiscing the moments that you've been with the older version and how's the comparison from here and there.

Not really.

Landbase casinos or physical casinos is most make people courageous to bet. Remember, right now gambling not only just in casino meanwhile you can find on Airport, Gas Station, even a bar.

Imagine, you are gonna to spent to buy a drink meanwhile you see some slot on bar. Try these things, because of these you can lead to gambling addiction. Access to gambling still easy to be found on physical casino comparing to online.

There's no denying the draw of slot machines. With music and lights, their design takes advantage of people's weak spots. They are made to get you to react emotionally instead of logically. This is both trickery and temptation. Also, "near-wins" are important. This keeps up the gambler's myth, which says that after a few losses, a win is "deserved." This is a strong psychological trap. Gambling takes advantage of the fact that we look for patterns. There are many ways to deal with gambling addiction. To limit entry, you need to know how psychological factors affect people. We need to look at how the bettor thinks and where they are. Taking care of one without the other is like treating the signs of a disease but not the sickness itself.
