Topic: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? - page 8. (Read 1797 times)

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.

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.
