Topic: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? - page 15. (Read 2923 times)

Online casinos are the runaway winners for a platform with the most number of users and probably gambling addicts, you can play it anywhere, anytime and the people around do not know that you are playing online, online casinos make billions of profits because they cater to all walks of life, compared to physical casinos where they targeted specific people mostly rich players and compared with the number of online casinos compared to physical casinos there is a wide gap in numbers.
One of the things that attract online casinos is the number of games and how you can bet even with a small amount and you are completely anonymous, online casinos can give gamblers everything they need to continue playing on their platform, name it and online casinos have everything.

Yes, the truth is, you haven't said everything, because whenever there is emphasis on which game is better, or the one you like the most, it is different for each one of them, for example, when I am in a casino I always like to play any type of game. thing, for example when I'm in the online casino I like to play slots much more, but when I'm in physical casinos I like to play roulette, the reason? I don't know, I think I have more opportunities to play and win on the roulette than in the physical slot itself, maybe they are my myths, it could be, but I feel that it is like that, as for the most popular games I think about it, ago a long time, more than 5 years ago I saw that the majority of players were looking for classic games like poker, roulette, among others, which are the ones we have always known, but from one moment to the next, slots became very popular, this Due to the low influx, almost in the casinos there were no PVP poker options, or black jack PVP mode, I think that is why they are now dominating the slots more.

Now the boom in slots is quite big, in every casino we see that there is a very wide variety of slots, from all possible providers, and this is something that many like, so I think something, all those fans of the For poker that they like, great emotions have been given by the slots and it is something that I understand, they are very nice and have great options to make a lot of money, although you have to know how to play because the slots, if not played properly, will You can lose a lot of money, and it is not the idea either, for that reason you have to play with great restraint and do things well, because not only in the slots but in any casino game because you can see how it is controlled, but it is always better to take the money willing to lose and count only on that to avoid unpleasant surprises because that has to be measured very well, of course it is my advice always and obviously after spending what you have for the game, not deposit more, because otherwise, that's it where problems arise.

Yep, but I only agree if slots is addicting in online casino while table games is more addicting in physical casino because you're playing with adrenaline rush and you want to impress other people if you're better and skillful than your opponent.

That's why high roller don't mind to spend a huge amount of money in table games, just like what we watch on the movies.

The OP is not asking what specific game is more addictive but rather what specific game which is being played by most of the gambler. It’s very easy to determine this since casino games have different characteristics and you can easily spot which is the most popular upon every players due to its promotion in the casino.

I think everyone will agree that Slot games has the most number of players using it in daily basis compared to the rest of the casino games. Sportsbook is indeed popular but it’s not addictive due to its time of waiting for the result.

Slots is also the game which being market hard by the casino because they knew gamblers really like jackpot type game even with the use of small bet.

This can not be dispute because online or home gambling can actually be even more addictive than gambling in person in the casino centers. It's not just about the convenience of online gambling that can be problematic but also the combination of convenience and the unique features of online gambling which includes faster funding and faster play and more immersive experiences.


The gambling environment can definitely be a major factor in gambling addiction because casinos especially, are designed to be exciting and simulating with lots of bright and shiny lights, sounds and amazing colors. This will definitely trigger a person's brain to keep playing even when you wish to stop and moreover it is associated with pleasure and reward. This type of atmosphere can make people feel detached from reality and make it easier to keep gambling without realizing the consequences attached to it.

I think all gambling can be addictive, it's always undeniable, we have to understand that this is a business for casinos and therefore I think all casinos will apply algorithms that are not much different, or I mean algorithms with potential addiction possibilities. But yes that's very true buddy for the problem of whether they will be addicted or it really depends on how the approach is taken by the gamblers, in my opinion if they come with unsolicited intentions such as wanting to earn then obviously they are likely to end up addicted, but the fact is that there are some who are addicted and some who are not addicted in the sense that they stay safe, and that means there are two different character approaches that cause different impacts.

As for people who are not addicted I believe they come with the right goals and understanding so they can always set limits because they know the potential adverse effects of addiction, and vice versa as I said above there are also those who come with the wrong approach and understanding that is not recommended so of course simply this all depends on the person. I agree to that, earlier I said that actually all gambling also has the potential for addiction but the more likely and the greater potential is slot machines, you have said something very interesting about this game and I believe it because many lately have suffered from the adverse effects of this type of gambling including some of my friends.

I don't think there is a "specific" type of gambling that's more addictive than the other. It really goes down to personal preferences and what triggers the gambling urge in an individual. But just like a drug addict might not be picky about their substance of choice, a gambling addict could be drawn to any form of gambling that's accessible to them. However, yeah, there are some types of gambling that are designed to be particularly "enticing". Look at the Slot machines. They often feature captivating sounds/music, and animations that create an exciting atmosphere for the gamblers. They also give players the illusion of "near-wins" and make them feel like they're just close to winning a big jackpot, encouraging them to keep playing.

Yes, there will be gamblers who pay attention to our way of gambling and apply it to themselves because they feel there is a match between what we use and what they are looking for. This is a normal thing to happen, especially if we see people who use social media to interact with other people. There we will see how to treat gambling and from there we can also learn how to use gambling well and just as entertainment.

They can use gambling as a way to make money but we don't need to follow suit. We only take what we need from them and leave what we don't. So we try not to get addicted to gambling and only use what we think is necessary so that we can really use gambling as entertainment.

Addiction can vary depending on the individual and certain factors in each type of gambling. Gambling at home can have a risk of addiction due to easier availability, especially with access to online gambling. This convenience can make a person more susceptible to excessive gambling because it can be accessed at any time from the comfort of home.

On the other hand, casinos often offer a more intense gambling experience with an exciting atmosphere and strong visual stimulation. This can make a person trapped in an environment that triggers the desire to continue gambling. In some cases, gambling in casinos can also be more controlled due to the time or financial constraints it brings.

However, what is important to remember is that gambling addiction is more about psychological and individual factors than the gambling venue itself. Many factors influence addiction, including mental state, drive to win, environment, and other personal factors.

Although they are the most played and liked gambling games in the world, slots can only be profitable for people who are extremely lucky because it's not always easy to win money from a slot machine since you will usually lose more than you might win. If you do 200 spins, you will barely get a big win enough to cover the overall cost of your 200 bets and still leave something for you which is what we can call net profit, but if you are winning $50 in a big win and spending $70 on the spins, you're in loss.

However, people love playing slot games because they are fun in general, the graphics, the gameplay, and sometimes you manage to hit some big wins which are lucrative without a doubt, and those big wins are the reason why a person would get hooked up with the game as they keep thinking about it later on.

Being an influence on someone means alot and just like you said,  some addicts don't know how to carry themselves and can easily expose they gambling act outside and putting it in some other person face most especially under age kids,  alot of times,  I have seen some gambler who organise parties anytime they win a big amount from gambling,  this is most likely that some of them have kids who are watching them and u wonder what kind of message the kids will be getting from them as parents.

So for sure our life also speaks to others and we may never know who are actions influences both known and unknown,  we all have to figure things out along the way.

I'm a bit more optimistic about that, I think the majority of people who grew up with access to video games developed some control mechanisms to prevent them from falling too deep into playing. They had no choice really, they had all the games available but also had other responsibilities and probably noticed first-hand all the negative sides of spending too much time playing.
Of course there are plenty of people who failed to develop enough self-control to keep healthy limits. Also, the gaming/gambling industries are known to use psychologists to produce games that are as addictive as possible, which is an ugly side of this business and it makes it harder to fight back.

In my opinion, what is most addictive to gamblers are casino games, especially slot machines. In slot machine games we can get very large multipliers, this raises hopes so that many gamblers hope to get big luck and get maxwin. However, we need to know that the higher the multiplier have, the more difficult it will be to get it. For example, a no-limit provider will be more difficult than a PP provider because the no-limit slot machine multiplier is higher than the PP multiplier

If i can understand the exact point being made here, you're saying that the way we also contributed to gambling addiction from our own individuals influence upon other gamblers matters alot, there's a way some gamblers will always want to make their gambling experience through the other people's influence on how they are gambling and how we don't even know or care about if others are really watching us from what we do while gambling.

A long time ago, many parents didn't like these games as they were struggling to control their kids by allowing time to them. But this time, these kids have grown up and they've got more money for the games that they want and they can buy as many as they can and the same goes with gambling. Everyone can gamble as long as they have money on their bankrolls.

I agree that games are more addicting as it stakes you nothing but only your time. But there's no difference on it when you allot a lot of time on it that shall affect you with all of the things that you do. So, games or gambling games or anything that's enjoyable. Putting a lot of time and money on it can make you addicted because even if you want to be one in control, sometimes you may not notice it that you're already one of them.

We all know that before the advent of online games, traditional base casinos are really taking over and raking billions of dollars annually. Yeah, the ambience, and environment and then free perks that they offer. Too good to be true to pass and that's why we wanted to go and play on slot machines on those casinos.


But now, we have online games, so everyone is exposed even those who didn't think that they are going to fall as an addict. That is the scary part though, and with that, I would say that online games right now could have more addicts because of the easy access to everyone.

And to add, in sports betting most games take place on weekends and even when the weekend arrives it is possible that there is no good game to place a bet on and this means that a sports bettor spends little time on the sports betting site , in this part it is very advantageous because we will hardly see many sports bettors being addicted to gambling, while people who play poker, slot games spend a lot of time a day playing and play every day. That's why we see many people addicted to gambling being people who play a lot of poker and slots games and other casino games that depend on luck.

and when you look at which games people lose the most money, in my opinion it's slots and other games that depend on luck. That's funny, because there are many people who when they hit a big multiplier they immediately post it on the forums, but when you look at the amount of money they put into the game and what they won, the person doesn't even need to ask them if they have been making a profit or a loss since. who started playing, because the answer will be that they are in losses, even that big win does not cover the losses, but people who are good at poker manage to win a lot and stop playing while they left with a profit

I also see a lot of people currently streaming, they are gambling because they also know that slot gambling is currently popular among the public, therefore they indirectly make money from the live streaming they do, because there are definitely lots of people who watch it. they do gambling by live streaming. This makes many people familiar with online slot gambling. So it's not surprising that online slot gambling is more popular with everyone.

That's right, those who have lost will return to deposit their money back on the site to gamble again with the aim of chasing wins and recovering losses that have occurred, but this will actually trigger a gambling addiction which is certainly difficult to cure if they are already addicted. gambling, because those who continue gambling without thinking about the big risks that will occur, and of course they will experience losses, especially financially. Many people are aware of online slot gambling and have become addicted to it, but they don't realize that what they are doing can cause them to experience big losses.

It seems like this has become a real fact that it is true that since the emergence of online-based casinos now people who are involved and who are addicted are increasing, as I said earlier that ease of access is one of the advantages that of course will be chosen by most people rather than having to go to a physical casino which is certainly quite complicated. You are right, there is a significant difference in terms of time between these two casinos, if you are involved in online casinos then obviously you can gamble whenever you want until your money runs out maybe, while in physical casinos you cannot fully gamble because they have opening hours and closing hours so when the time is too late most likely they will close all access in the casino which means it shows the completion of the gambling session that day and continue tomorrow.

Another thing is that it is clear that online casinos have real freedom which does not recognize age, as you said minors can also get involved by submitting  their brother's or sister's personal data as a KYC requirement to get involved in gambling. On the other hand, this is what is worried about and what should be of full attention to all parents, because the name of minors they absolutely do not think about any risks, they  will only continue to play to make money quickly by aggressive means. If they run out of money then it is very likely that they will look for any means as an alternative such as borrowing from some services, so online casinos certainly have many worse impacts.

Partially yes because although turbo mode has been a feature in slot games for a long time recently with the purchase of free spins, many people have started to lose more money in such games. As I mentioned in my previous comment it isn't right to accept a single option as an answer but when we interpret it by generalizing we can see that it is possible. Also, I would like to point out that many of the streamers I follow are gambling and as you mentioned while streaming this I see that slot games are more preferred.

I think that the fact that such people generally lose money primarily in slot games and then try to regain their losses with other gambling games is actually a situation triggered by gambling addiction. Because it would be a bit wrong for someone who gambles in this way to state that he/she is addicted to gambling only because of slot games. In other words, it wouldn't be correct to state that a person is addicted to gambling regardless of the game and that he/she is addicted to a single gambling game especially because he/she prefers several gambling games.
