In this day and age, more people are addicted to gambling online due to the promotion of various influencers on YouTube and Facebook, because there is no longer the hassle of having to go to the gambling house. Even for a small amount, they can gamble in a casino.
Apparently, it used to be the same people who go to the casino area now; it is the casino itself that approached the people who, even though they had no experience in gambling, learned to gamble because of such a scheme strategy that some did.
Topic: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? - page 6. (Read 2923 times)
For me it depends on what is the most and easiest access for gamblers whether online or offline though I don't have the data for each games but I think card games will be on this list as it can be played online and offline. Here in my place and country as a whole it is the most common gambling game you will find on each towns aside from cock fighting, cara y cruz and lottery which is not as common as card games do.
Firstly, it's not about easiest to access but the one that gambler understands better. A gambler that is focus on casino games is likely to be addicted to that gambling than when he understands little about sports gambling. Most gamblers understand most of the games casino have on their home page but there is this particular one they love the most and that's what they will play all through and if they enjoy it or can't do a day without playing it, addiction is imminent no matter how they try.
Then Secondly, that's where your point came in, when a gambler have easy to access to a casino, the more they will likely want to access it all the time. A gambler who loves betting in physical shop because he doesn't have phone and always busy will not be addicted as some who is in similar situation but doesn't get busy, he will likely visit the gambling more times than a person who is always busy and similarly the same for online gambling.

Here in my place and country as a whole it is the most common gambling game you will find on each towns aside from cock fighting, cara y cruz and lottery which is not as common as card games do.
Another important factor is the ease of the game itself and how fast you can understand its rules, so for example in the case of poker, despite a pack of playing cards being available almost anywhere, you are not going to find many people addicted to it as poker is a complex game to learn and to play, however other games like slots despite requiring some very specific hardware are very easy to understand and to play, which makes the number of addicted people to slots quite high compared to other games. 
First is the Lottery, many people are interested and continue to buy the lottery again and again because its cheap but the prize is very big and can change someone life.
Another one is Sports Betting, because many sports bettors still think that it is easier to win by betting on sports than other types of gambling.

I've not been seeing that a specific game attracts for more addictions to gamblers, what people sees and use in getting addicted is beyond all what we are mentioning, some gamblers are not just well mannered, because their way of behavioural attitude is not what we can afford to comply with, and this also begins by lack of being disciplined, when a gambler is not discipline from how he is gambling, then this is going to get over him and the way he is gambling will not be enticing to others than seen as being addicted.
Certain types of gambling sometimes become a trigger for gamblers to become addicted but I think, addiction occurs when gamblers have become accustomed to or oftenbet in certain types of gambling.Therefore, the type of gambling that is often played becomes a trigger for them to become addicted. But I think, the type of gambling tha tseems to be a trigger foraddiction is about attractive displays,maybe like slots and or card and dice games. Although, it does not rule out the possibility of sportsgambling also triggering addiction and again, it happens based on their own habits.

I don't know if this has been discussed before or not.
Reading about gambling addiction I don't think it's a new topic, but fitting to be in here, I just want to ask: between casino gambling, in-house gambling, and one-on-one gambling with physical players available on the table, which among these is more likely to turn someone into a gambling addict if the person doesn't have self-control in all his gambling activities?
Basically all gambling has the potential for addiction because people lose control while playing. But in some cases it really depends with different levels for age groups. For example, in the area where I live, people who are not very familiar with the online sites available on the internet prefer to place bets on the lottery traditionally and others choose to play slots or bet on football. I don't have accurate data on which of these things is more likely to make someone a gambling addict because I see it depends on the individual.Reading about gambling addiction I don't think it's a new topic, but fitting to be in here, I just want to ask: between casino gambling, in-house gambling, and one-on-one gambling with physical players available on the table, which among these is more likely to turn someone into a gambling addict if the person doesn't have self-control in all his gambling activities?
Even those who like to gamble on slots also place bets on football or vice versa because they really like to gamble. Randomly, in the area where I live, people prefer to play slots, lottery and football gambling because most of the people I know are all involved in these three forms of gambling.
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
According to what I read in the comments, there is a consensus that those who are fond of slot games are the most likely to become addicted, and therefore most of the addicts will be fans of these games. But let us examine the question in the topic title because it includes all types of gambling, not just online gambling. Now we must review all the available statistics about all types of gambling games, which I am sure will contain a very large number of gamblers compared to those who prefer online slot games. Take, for example, visitors to physical casinos who are addicted to playing poker or roulette. I do not have statistics, but I am sure that the percentage will not be far from the number of gambling addicts on slot games.
I've not been seeing that a specific game attracts for more addictions to gamblers, what people sees and use in getting addicted is beyond all what we are mentioning, some gamblers are not just well mannered, because their way of behavioural attitude is not what we can afford to comply with, and this also begins by lack of being disciplined, when a gambler is not discipline from how he is gambling, then this is going to get over him and the way he is gambling will not be enticing to others than seen as being addicted.
No categories in terms of gambling addiction once the player already committed to gambling and part of their daily routine, it's hard to remove this kind of thing from yourself if you didnt control your emotions in too much playing, some player struggle to stop this kind of addiction but they cant deal with anymore. As you can manage this you can still have control over your games too, always set boundaries regarding how much you can use to gamble and what are your target amount and limit to lose in a single game. Making a decision without prior preparation might lead you making a wrong move to get lose more your money.
When a gambler gets to the stage of addiction he can even barely think of quitting, because there is now a conviction that he can actually make lots of profit from a single bet. I believe casino games are responsible for having more addicted gamblers than any other form of gambling because, you can actually gamble without anyone knowing, but it will definitely reflect in your behaviour mood and account balance. Those rich/wealthy persons who started getting addicted in their gambling life often go broke if they refuse to learn and quit their addiction because it is believed that the ratio of loss is always higher than that of the wins, and that's why the house is always on the wining side. Casinos who started not quite long could even expand to a wide range because they are on the winning side.
At this point I think that any game can get people addicted, I could talk about craps, slot machines, roulette, because what makes a person addicted the most is the fact that they have to bet a lot of money and they just want to win. . , then sometimes the person only focuses on what they should earn and the money becomes something else, and that is not good, it is dangerous because it is an indication that they can fall into an addiction and that is no longer negotiable, well What I say is that the main thing about this is to take care of yourself and avoid mistakes that hurt us in the future.

Exactly a good one at that,most gamblers are not aware that their continuous habits of spending money,chasing after loss and craving for bigger wins is what results to them becoming addicted gamblers and like you said Gambling is gambling be it of any types but it's the indulgence of it that results in one being addicts it doesn't literally mean land base or any of that as far as you spend an amount unwisely and lose to it and you keep doubling it for wins then your categorized as that.
Gamblers face similar troubles regardless of where they chose to play the game. It's always right for a player to join both activities, it could help the player not to get completely tied up to one type of gambling platform, online or offline. Steadily participating in online gambling can get a player addicted to playing online, same happens offline. But, if a player shuttles both, visiting brick built casinos and online gambling platform. He'd not lack any benefits from both gambling settings.
Offline gamblers have a benefit of sharing ideas and strategies with fellow gamblers in the building. This helps a player not to get completely addicted without a helper. Unless the player doesn't seek for help from experienced people, he'd get addicted offline. Online gambling is quite very addictive due to its portability and eligibility to play anytime of the day. Even when we wake up first thing in the money. With the increase in rate of online gambling addicts, it's safe to say that online gambling is more addictive.

You are right that gambling addiction is not only seen from the game but also seen from the gambler, all gambling games can make people addicted to gambling, we just need to know how to control ourselves properly and distance ourselves from gambling addiction, for example by changing our mindset. when gambling, that is, considering gambling is only for fun or just entertainment, nothing more than that, because if we continue to think gambling is a game that can make money like that, it is clear that gambling will continue to be an addiction.Everyone must change their mindset in the right direction if they don't want to be addicted to gambling, it doesn't matter what they play on gambling sites because everything can make people addicted, but if it is still under proper control, for example gambling is just for fun and only played on weekends with a limited budget, I'm sure it won't make someone addicted to gambling, because the right mindset will prevent us from playing excessively, after all anything excessive will never be good in the end and there are many examples of this everywhere we see in Around us, there are many gambling addicts who have problems with their mindset.
Gambling is gambling regardless of what type people are into. Becoming addicted to gambling has one denominator and that is to chase those wins. Sports betting, slot games, roulette, card games, physical gambling, and any form of gambling, since these activities can give gamblers decent money in return, that's where it becomes addictive. However, instead of winning, losing always happens and these gamblers don't realize how much they are losing now just to chase that win.
The continuous attempt to chase that win is now the start of becoming addictive to gambling.

Overall, I can conclude that someone who is eventually addicted is certain that from the beginning they saw gambling as a place to make money, and this belief is caused because from the beginning they did not use a rational mindset in responding to gambling and most likely they only saw from one side, namely the chances of winning but did not see the negative side, such as in terms of risk, and this is what ultimately led to their misunderstanding in responding to how gambling actually is and also which ultimately brought a far from wise approach when making decisions.

Yes but there's got to be one game that's got more addicted gamblers than the rest right? For me it's most likely that it's slots that's got a lot of addicted gamblers because of how easy to play it and how convenient it is, I mean that's just my observation because I've seen a lot of people playing slots no matter where they are and what time they're playing them so I assume that the more convenient and easy to play the game is, you're most likely to be a part of the statistics, I mean not everyone can play poker on the go right? Or blackjack and baccarat? Those games need some form of concentration after all.Well yes, you are right, I also think it is the slots, however I have also thought that if poker is established here in PVP mode there will be many cases of addiction all Over the world , because poker is a very popular game and it can Make a difference in all corners of the world, in fact here in the forum there are people who seem to play too much and that is something that I admire and they are constantly playing, that is why when we see that there are new casino platforms at least I check them to see if they have a poker game in PVP mode, because it is something that will always Attract Attention.

True. Expecting much, and only concerned about the winnings forgetting about losses (how to reduce it), that might be incurred in such game. As I do lay emphasis that we consider the risk involved and how we can react to it meaning our risk tolerance level before considering potential win which isn't guarantee either in gambling or betting.
What another gambler see as addictive might not be same for another like your favorite game isn't same with mine, so we can't ratio it. Betting in Football is what i think majority is addicted to especially during seasons.
Well, if you are right, during the football tournament season the bets are usually very high and it is also a very good season for casinos and sports betting, however now many good things are coming, the Copa América is approaching and the Eurocup, apart from the Conmebol qualifiers, this can increase the stakes, although I have always bet on football, it is something that I am passionate about, of course, but I don't think I will become addicted, when it is a sport that we like, well to Me especially, because I am fascinated by football, I tend to be very careful in that sense, and I think that people who place bets should be that careful too.
