I feel like the reason behind people get more and more addicted to gambling is because they've got friends in the casino and they sort of make the casino as their meeting place. They consider playing cards and gambling as their 'hang-out'. Just the peer pressure of your friends, basically, of gambling makes it so addicting.
Thats why a casino want to hire a friendly moderator who has good communication skill and can guiding the players patiently, so its comfortable for players to play there. But I'm not sure thats the reason why gamblers become addicted, since the only thing they want is profit, not a friend
Well, in psychology if a human being feels safe in a place, then he'll come back again for sure. If they have a friendly mod then a lone gambler can finally have a "friend". And of course, that "friendly moderator" isn't just friendly. There's a manipulation going on there. If the mod is a girl, she might flirt with guys and if the mod is a man, then he can do some manipulation stuffs with girls. As simple as that. Just an intuition, though. I don't own a casino so I'm not sure.
You are still gambling because you want to capture the feeling of excitement all over again,when you are gambling you are very much alive your heart beats fast very fast and you are very ecstatic when you win,so you will come back again and again to capture those feelings and you don't care whether you win or lose..
You only realize it when you lost at the end. In the middle of gambling there is really a feeling of excitement that sometimes you cannot control yourself. The demon always dictates us to bet more to win more, and in the end we lost our winnings including our bankroll. It is really sad that we have to learn our lesson the hard way.
Simply put it like this, when you are in a winning streak it's like you're in a jail cell. The door is open and anytime you can leave. But you don't, because you thought it will stay open forever, and you thought you will still have a winning streak.
Then after some time, you lost all your money, you wanna get out of the jail cell, but you can't. It's now shut. You can't get out of the fact that you are now bankrupt.
I hope you guys get it 'coz my explanation skills is kind of bad.
