It's said about brain that, "use it or lose it" — now, question being, do you think if person plays brainless gambling games such as slots, dice for major part of his/her daily routine, will it make him/her dull?

Edit: "brainless" as in playing gambling games that does not require using brain, I thought it was clear especially given examples.

Brainless means something stupid or foolish. That is enough to let you know that slots, dices and roulettes are not brainless (stupid or foolish) games.

What you can regard them as are games that requires no skills. Something fun may not require skills. Even most things that are fun do no require skills.

Does playing gambling games that require no skills make one dull? No.

these games have a random outputs. Each time people talks about "strategy" it makes me smile or wondering if they are really saying that or even if they understand how gambling works. There are yes some strategies for money management in gambling but not for "winning more".
Once you start to search for this, you're going to waste your funds and yes not only brainless the game but even the player...

I don’t think so. If a person plays these games enough times, eventually he will notice that they are only good for quick in&out’s. Because of the house edge, player will always be on the losing side if he plays long enough. Some people never get this and keep chasing a ghost but there are not many. So get it after then spin their 1000th wheel.

Sports betting offer much better chances compared to “brainless” gambling and that’s why professional gamblers don’t play dice for income.

Nope, the purpose of gambling is to be entertained so it’s up to user preference how they will be entertained through gambling games.

Some preferred spin and win games without the need to think while others preferred strategy based game like poker because they enjoy competition and analysis to win.

There’s no universal way to properly gamble we have different preferences on how we will enjoy.

What makes person brainless is a person being born without a brain, also would make them born dead FYI. Kidding of course but playing slots or dice is just their way of making money or losing money. There are probably some very intelligent folks that like to play slots or dice, people unwind in different ways.

You gotta take the meaning of the word in context of statement, I meant, "brainless" word here as in playing games that does not require using brain.

If you gamble all day long like slot or dice, it will not only dull your brain, but you will also become addicted. It will take you to the peak of addiction. And if you are very lucky, you may win a lot of money. But most of the time, there is a high chance of going bankrupt.

I have seen that those who gamble all day long are not only addicted to gambling. They gradually become addicted to various drugs. Most gamblers have a bad temper. They do not treat anyone well. Also, gambling like slot and dice is completely dependent on luck. It does not require any use of our thinking power. From this, I think that various skill based gambling is good for the brain. Poker, Blackjack and sports betting gambling can be called skill based

Not necessarily. Having played poker for many years and now occasionally switching to games that don't require thinking, such as slots, I see some sense in what you say, but not enough to establish a general rule. If you watch videos of people in Vegas clicking away at slot machines like there's no tomorrow, you'll probably get that impression, and it's probably true in some or many cases. But you can be intelligent and play slots from time to time; the two aren't incompatible.

Playing simple gambling games can be fun, but if you spend too much time on them, your brain might get less stimulated, which can affect your focus and sharpness. That’s why it’s important to find a balance and include other activities that help develop your mind.

If someone spends most of their time on chance or luck based games like slots or dice, they’re not really challenging their mind. These games don’t require strategy or deep thinking, so over time it can lead to mental dullness compared to activities that actively exercise the brain but is that what makes us worry? I think the addiction itself is the worse that could happened from continuous playing that kind of games.

To understand the games that you said, you also need brains. So, I don't think a person will be dull just because he is playing it continuously.

But I do believe that it could change a person's way of life. He can become lazy, self-centered, and unsociable because he always just thinks about gambling again. It's best if we can understand the gamblers who are addicted to playing 24/7 types of games. They need someone to talk to them sometimes so that they won't end up being unsociable in the future. They are not stupid, just not thinking straight, because in their mind, it's always gambling.

I think that playing brainless will only make you lose money much more quicker than if you were gambling to earn. What is brainless gambling after all? Making ridiculous bets, playing high risk where its not necessary? All that will only make 0 on balance appear much faster. However, such brainless gambling sometimes can pay off, when randomly and with a huge luck, gambler all of a sudden gets rewarded. Some even call it as special tactics.

Brainless gambling games will not make a person dull, no dumber than those who mindlessly waste time on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube scrolling, swiping or otherwise brainlessly surfing the Internet. :)

So don't worry about it. :)

These are games that don’t require much cognitive effort, right? Spending long hours on them could reduce the time spent on activities that challenge the mind. That doesn’t necessarily mean someone becomes dull outright but it may limit mental stimulation and growth compared to engaging in problem-solving, strategy or learning.

It's all about accumulation.

Bob spend 8 hours to work, 3 hours to study, and 1 hour to gamble, resulting a balance life.
Alice spend 8 hours to work, 4 hours to study, high likely Alice will be smart.
Satoshi spend 12 hours in lucky based games without making any analysis.

From above illustration, I'm sure Satoshi will be the dumbest among them because he spend his whole time for gambling just by clicking the spin button over and over.

It really depends on how much you're playing these games. If you spend 5 minutes a day because you want a little buzz, then it's not really got much bearing on how interesting you are. However if you're some how affording to play for multiple hours a week I'd firstly question how you're funding it and secondly wonder why you don't have more interesting things to do. There are much more interesting games out there, but they can sometimes get too intense and competition, so it is hard to find a balance. It can actually be better for your health to play a more chilled game compared to sat a fast paced shooter which is hyper realistic. I remember getting adrenaline rushes from certain games which can be quite addictive in itself.

You are right and there is no gambling games that should be considered brainless except the person has another definition of what they meant by brainless if not we have only understand one thing about being brainless and that's what you have already stated, perhaps OP wanted to use another word to describe his motion but ended up using this instead, or he might be thinking that those games that doesn't involves any thinking is a brainless gamble that is why he highlighted those games because in roulettes there is no calculation or any reliable strategy because is almost like spinning to be lucky for it to roll to the number you picked, so actually that's what I think was the reason why OP called it brainless.

So any game of chance? the one that doesn't require any strategy or analysis? I don't think it makes you dull those games are called game of chance for a reason, there's no way you can predict or analyze to have better chance of winning, it's like flipping coins. It doesn't require you to think, so it's useless to use your brain to win, so thinking while playing this games makes you actually dull since it doesn't require any thinking at all (the opposite)  ;D

Maybe I would agree on "It makes you lazy" unlike sports betting and poker, where you really need some kind of thinking and analysis in order to have better chance of winning, and playing this games makes you lazy, that's why I prefer playing sports betting, because not only I use my brain, but also I do have a better chance of winning.

The brain will work consciously according to an event, even if a gambler plays at casino A and they are unlucky and they move to another casino in the hope of getting lucky at the last casino and all they think about is how they get big multiplications there and they don't really think about whether their brains are dull or not almost all gamblers are like that. I personally find this game quite boring and there is no skill involved in this slot game at all. Gamblers just have to spin, spin, and spin, and the results are determined randomly and by luck.

Dull like how, you can't be making use of your brain regularly and it becomes dull, it's only when the brain isn't being used that it gets dull. Gambling will make the brain already always active as you're thinking all the time therefore, you can't be gambling and become dull. What can happen is that, your too much activity in gambling can affect your other lifes. Gambling games are for entertainment and don't have to add anything intelligent to your life, you're having fun or making money while gambling so regardless of you playing them repeatedly, they shouldn't have any effect on your brain becoming dull.

You have said it right. If there is no roulette anymore today in casinos, I see no point of me gambling in casinos anymore. Slots and dice are easy to play but I do not like them but I will still prefer them to poker and other skilled games. It is just a matter of choice. There are many learned people that will prefer games that require no skills.

So you think these popular games are brainless? You sure about that? I don’t believe it, because the gambling industry has been huge in the crypto space and these games are what give people entertainment. What’s really brainless is the gambler who plays slots thinking he’ll get rich from it. The games themselves aren’t brainless, they’re built by the system, and they’re not trying to fool anyone since they’re transparent with their RTP.

If playing these games is a major part of the day, by that I mean hours & hours, then the answer is definitely yes. These games are simple and don't require much thinking, and without a lot of thinking and challenges, it's hard to progress.

Playing these games should be fun & entertaining... something we can have fun with and then move on. And it's fine to get carried away and play a little longer sometimes, but we shouldn't do it too often...

I think you got the point of what the op what's trying to say perhaps his expression was misunderstood by some person, how would you want to classify a gambling activity that doesn't require you to think much, all you just have to do is to spin which means your fate is just been decided by luck, in sportsbet atleast we can try to analyze football based on the current form and history of the teams involved and with those we can come up with some conclusions on the selectiona to make although trying to predict with the aforementioned strategies doesn't assure any wining but it put your brain into action to think out something so that you can stand on that to make your selections, the op can also explain further, may be we are overthinking perhaps the op might also be having another thing in mind while making those statements.

Part of his Daily routine ! YES!
Gambling is for fun and entertainment only especially if you are playing negative EV games (where house has an inbuilt mathematical edge). Playing DAILY will make you addicted for sure. It is way better to play those games occasionally and that too with some friends and never chase loses. Treat them like a movie ticket, which you want to enjoy.     

Gambling is just for entertainment. It is an activity that helps you unwind after a stressful period. Playing slots doesn't make you brainless; it's just what you like or enjoy doing to relax. It's like saying playing computer games or watching will make you dull. i know many sports bettors who are not smart.    

No, not at all. Maybe those games you mentioned don’t require much skill, but that doesn’t mean they will make you dull. Also, what do you mean by brainless games? For me, they aren’t. Unless the person has a problem that needs immediate medical attention, I don’t see it that way. If you’re a normal guy, even if you’re addicted, you won’t suddenly become dull. And whether it’s a skill based game or not, you can’t escape the reality of how gambling work, unless you’re extremely lucky.

If he wins then obviously no. What makes gambling exciting aside from the type of game he plays is how often he wins and since we do not know when we will win, it is so thrilling because we are trying to hope we get to win soon. It will not be dull because there are the ups and downs. If he has the same routine of always losing, then it will surely bore him.

Do you think gambling without using your brain is the same as gambling without a strategy?

You still need your brain to think about whether you should stop or keep going because if you don't use your brain you'll end up acting like a fool who doesn't behave like a normal person.

So gambling requires brainpower... people get bored quickly because they don't win every time they roll the dice.

Games that do not require skills and thought are based entirely on chance. But often, on the contrary, it encourages a gambler to look for a "System" in randomness. Doesn't that mean intense mental activity? So everything is exactly the opposite. These thoughts may be wrong, but the brain is busy with work. People even learn from their erroneous ideas. And by the way, blood circulation in the head is intense; the risk of atherosclerosis of the cerebral vessels is reduced. :D

P.S. By the way, this is not really a joke, there are statistics from cardiologists that people who work mentally suffer less from vascular damage in the head than people who are not too busy with mental work.

It depends. If the player works for the NASA or is studying quantum physics, most probably playing games such as slots and dice won't make him dull, and the contrary can be said for those who don't do anything more that gamble all day even if the games they play require greater strategy.

Gambling only shouldn't define a person, and his gambling style shouldn't be determinant to label him dull or intelligent.

With this logic all gamblers are all become dumb because we keep on betting on games that has house edge that gives us -EV.

Playing no thinking required is good for gamblers that wants easy to play because not all the time people want to think if they want to just have fun.

Many smart people use gambling as way to relax their brain after a heavy work.

You mean a brain sharpening, like people often mention "a knife is often honed to be sharp" what does that mean, if yes.
Of course I look at gambling, especially slot games if the brain is not often sharpened Dull, I agree, in my understanding, someone gambling has an IQ level of their bet based on experience and often his brain sharpening in the game.

As often as possible someone made a chance to win a big win, they from the basis of experience will understand where the game and the right time they bet in slot games or games Others also apply in sports gambling, if often our brains are honed in sports betting we will have a lot of information about the team, players, referees, both about the weaknesses and strengths of the opponents and so on, so we are not in a hurry to place bets.

Gambling brainlessly means one is not gambling in the right way, and it is possible this can make one be considered dull based on the outcome and the manner of gambling.

Of course, gambling brainlessly won't make one look smart because there will be wrong decisions that will be made as a brainless gambler. The truth is that gambling in a particular way always has a particular outcome. If you gamble smartly, the outcome will always be productive; it doesn't mean it must be a win, but it means gambling responsibly.

Excessive use of anything can dull the mind just because of this keeping balance is always recommended in life even gambling has a similar effect on the brain here targeting specific games is not important but have effect on mind with losing of money can bring more stressful life.

Due to have some things on different threads always needs to repeat few things gambling brainlessly never been ideal because this brings serious impact and things can go worse playing without emotions and having balance always bring pleasure and success because while person is having nothing in mind he can stay calm and this give confidence but always having brainless and going on things which are just dreamed never bring better results.

I don't think that's the case in reality. The reason is that I never get bored when playing slots, and honestly, I actually get addicted. What makes me addicted is the thrill, especially when the spins go really well. Most of my friends feel the same way.
So, I don't think gambling that requires brain power is always boring. After all, even if we gamble 90% relying on brain power, doesn't that still guarantee a win? Therefore, I don't focus on how it works, but rather on the entertainment. ;)

Dullness dose not have any linkage to any of these games you have mentioned or even other games like crash which doesn't require skills. Anyone that chose to play the games on daily basis is only doing it for fun or to make money, so I don't see how possible it can make someone dull.

You mean gambling without missing and settling at the concept of gambling, what makes you dull in anything you do is your mindset and reasoning, definitely gambling that gamble uncontrollably will always be seen as weak thinkers and this comes with low self esteem.
I don't accept that gambling in a particular way just as you said will always begat the same result as usual, you can say playing a particular game may continue to be what it is, like spins that are tied with luck  and nothing more will always be what it is, when you play one style in gambling, you may eventually at some point get new results but the truth is that don't expect a permanent or consistent outcome in gambling.

Gambling on games whereas you don't need to do any calculations through predicting the games can affect you mentally because it might make you too lazy to play other games that requires calculations and predictions. But if you are dull in may predictions and calculations through betting it shows that you were already lazy and dull to do them ever since. So it probably means that it's not the games of the casino that made you dull but your ways of dealing with things, maybe you don't really like things that gives you stress.

I assume that you mean by mindless gambling not to apply your skills. I gamble for fun and money, so I use my brain. I do research to increase the amount of winnings. The gambling you mentioned also involves the use of the brain. Some people use their brains with their own intelligence, while others rely on others and are lazy to apply it. I know those lazy gamblers who do not want to apply their knowledge, they copy the games of others. They do not want to experience themselves, they think that the results of gambling depend on luck. There is logic in their assumption, it is somewhat correct. But they do not believe that with increasing experience in gambling the amount of losses can be reduced to a large extent so they gamble mindlessly.

Not really I would say as people who play "brainless" games like you say are the ones who usually hit it really big like winning max win of huge amounts, above 10.000x is normal nowadays and imagine one to win more than 100.000 dollars with just a 2 dollar bet depending on the amount of time he plays and what he hits. I say good luck to anyone wanting to achieve that in poker which is a brain game and you have to think, the more you think in poker in fact does not make your smarter either, it is just a way to keep the brain a bit more active though people who play slots are not dull, they are smart as they are chasing those dream wins and people who follow their dreams I do not consider them dull at all, quite the opposite in fact, very smart people. The only bad thing they do is they play against luck  ;D.

If this brainless strategy makes you enjoy the game, then why is it going to make you dull? Anything that excites you or evokes your interest can never make you dull; what makes you dull is doing something that you don’t like or forcing yourself to do it.
I’ve played a no-strategy game, or, in your terms, a brainless one, and I find it exciting. You just do it without thinking about why you pick it, and sometimes it’s profitable.

Yes, if you don't practice your cognitive skills, they are going to slow down and become less efficient. It's like a room full of furniture which hasn't been cleaned or used for so long. It will get dusty and taken by spiders' webs. Nothing survives, neither can be maintained without movement and activity.

The same is valid for people who just watch short meaningless videos all day long, just scrolling their finger on the smartphone's screen. They are going to become dull. There is a modern tendency to follow such behavioral patterns, so it's not a coincidence people are getting more ignorant and narrow minded each new day.

People tend to play with the less hassle game which is just keep rolling and wait for the result they don't need to waste their time and energy to think more about the game itself they came for fun and entertainment reason why most of the people preferred with the use of slot games or no brainer games, no strategy, no analysis, just roll and hit the jackpot. Well its okay with this but its way more riskier than having your decision making on the game with the bet of your money so its a risk appetite of the person.

Brainless or mindless activities doesn't happen in gambling. Moving our hands or walking around the house involves the brain and mind. Slot or dice game still get us exhausted and it requires work to tap a button consistently. Even copying people's game requires reviewing and cross checking or editing which happens to be one of the hardest tasks to give our brain. The only thing that dulls the brain in gambling is abusing the act of gambling.

I think it will dull their habits to make better decisions and continue to make the poor decision to play that game. Repetitive games like slots often have the maximum number of players playing it because it lacks any need to use your grey cells and make a decision, you just press a button and you can play.

It makes the adult turn to a child for a short period of time and because we have all enjoyed the time being a child without responsibilities we are wired to love that sensation. In that manner these games hook up us to that addiction.

I would say that other games dont do this, maybe some of them can improve your counting skills and help you learn new skills but this is usually not how the process happens.

Some gamblers may do this, if you are someone who is used to thinking about betting patterns or specific strategies for gambling, you will feel bored when you gamble without using them. Because something will definitely be missing from your gambling sensations. Games like slots don’t really require such things seriously. Some just spin and bet until the gaming session is over. Some may enjoy the process as waiting for luck, but some gamblers will surely get bored with that method.

Slot game, dice and roulettes are not brainless game. They require you to thin of a way to manage you bankroll or follow a certain patterns
But in terms of doing analysis, using  strategy they dont require you to stress your brain because its all based on luck.

I understand the point stated by op meanwhile gambling games was never meant to sharpen the brain or give an extraordinarily wisdom, we as gamblers feel the need to go extra miles in terms of studying different types of strategy for the win although this might be fun when we understand what gambling is all about. This is not a general issue rather is common when playing easy gambling games can weaken a gambler sense of reason when encountering other difficult games requiring thinking and being strategic.

We have to define what dull is. Dull is a lack of interest and motivation, and brainless is not thinking about what will be your bets, if you are comfortable doing this. I know some people bet aimlessly, but they never lose their interest and motivation to gamble. Whether they analyze their bets or not, it doesn’t make them dull people.
I have never met a bettor who becomes dull from gambling, regardless of the strategy they employ.

Yes and no - depending on lifestyle!

Here is an article indicating that humans in general have been experiencing declining
I.Q's since 1975! and thats caused by lifestyle and technology.

https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/research-confirms-it-really-are-getting-dumber.htm


My reckoning is that its important to have balance in everything we do, nutrition
and lifestyle.

If someone does little else than play slots, watch TV and eat fast food well
then the answer is going to be YES

If playing slots is only part of an otherwise healthy life then the answer is NO

The key is BALANCE

In the first place, why do we gamble? We gamble to excite ourselves, not to become dull and lose motivation.
People become dull not from gambling but from their experience and their surroundings and how people treat them; on the contrary, gambling excites us and takes away our dull moments.
And the only warning we have about gambling is spending too much, not playing too much, and becoming a dull person.

No "Brainless" according to your definition does not make a person dull, neither do i think sports prediction makes anyone smart.

The only instance of becoming dull is spending much time playing and enjoying those "Brainless" games without learning new things.

Gambling shouldn't be what we do all day, 30 minutes - 1 hour is enough to entertain ourselves, sparing out those minutes for fun cannot make you dull.

I think "dull" is dumb; you become dumb if you play brainless games. That's what I think he means, but I don't think you will become dull at the end while playing these brainless games like slots.

Do you think you can become smart if you play smart games? You can improve and make some strategies playing that game, but you won't become a smart person.

Same with playing brainless games—you just enjoy that game and have fun from wins and losses. If the slots have additional buttons where you can practice your strategies, you can improve over time, but since it's one button for play and stop, you can't improve anything. It does not mean that you will become a dull or smarter.

That's right gamble was never meant to make us think smart, it's just a game of fun which gamblers should do for entertainment but it seems that many gamblers only gamble to make profits through but. However to me there's no full game in gamble, because if the games are full I'm sure that no body will bet on them because they re not entertaining. Actually all games have their patterns, if slot games are full for the OP, they might not be dull to another players.

We have 24 hours in a day that is generally splitted and used for carrying out so much activities ranging from work, socialization, family life, and maybe a small fraction of it can be used for gambling. in the real sense, it is not even advisable to gamble beyound 2 hours a day no matter what and it is not something you are going to be doing every day. but even if we assume a worse case scinario where someone is using like say 2 hours out of the 24 hours to gamble, and then use the remaining time to do other useful things, then there is no way such is going to have effect on him.

in everything we do both in terms of gambling and other things, the place of creating a ballance is neccesary and that is what helps one not to get addicted and also helps take out any form of supposed dullness that comes with being too focused on a particular event. ofcause this sort of thing is not just common to gambling, it can happen even when you are dealing with other areas where you are paying too much atention to it at the negligence of other areas.

I don't know, I mean, just because someone plays a game that doesn't require much thinking, doesn't mean that they will go dull. Anyway, the highlighted part makes it sound like the person spends an unhealthy amount of time gambling, which could be a sign of a gambling problem/addiction.

Gambling games can't make anyone dull just because they are not iq games. What is capable of making a slow is when he focuses too much on gambling and neglects doing other things like keeping the Brain active by studying and gaining knowledge, this is obviously when people get overly addicted to it. Gambling moderately doesn't make anyone dull, the type of game doesn't actually matter

We have to take you to the "slot court" for you to prove to us that it is a brainless game ;D just kidding.
Slots it just for fun. It is for relaxing and not for something so serious. We are not expected to work hard while playing it. Of course for those of us who already know that the odds are against us. We use our spare money or specific money assigned for it and after it we go. Slots just take up less than 0.1% of our time maybe one a per or two and nothing more. Believe me, our brain is not going to be lost after it

What kind of question is this? Games don't affect you unless you play all day,maybe around the clock, and since games are involved with gambling many turned addicts due to the higher time frame spent on gambling. Playing a mahjong game or chess game won't make you a very smart person either, maybe only in the game but that's it, you called slot games a brainless game and I can it the simplest game. Slots games are not puzzle or math solving kind of game, if you need something like that you should find them, but engaging in slots won't make anyone a dullard.

I don't think that there is a significant effect ones dullness if we're playing those brainless or luck based games.
There is no connection IMHO if we keep on playing about that. But if you are tired and come from other activities, that can make you dull.
So, don't gamble when you're too tired whether you play skill-based or luck-based games because that will for sure going to affect you.

What you said is true. When someone forces themselves to do something they are not akin to, no matter how sweet and brainy such activities look outside, it will not benefit the person doing it and may even end up making them dull. It is viseversa of what OP said in fact, because both fun and excitement are also forms of stimulation which can make an individual's brain function better if it kinds of enjoy doing it and it doesn't causes any harm such as addiction or intoxications. In this case the person is going to make money from it so such excitement of expecting profit makes it more interesting and not otherwise. So yes, it is you that sees it as brainless but if it really requires some brain work however little and also brings money to the table, then it should not be considered as brainless.

From my experience, I'd say yes, slots, dice, and other games that don't require strategy can sometimes be boring, as if there's nothing interesting. That's why I rarely visit slot machines anymore, because I've gotten bored and have chosen to gamble on poker or sports betting, which keep me entertained and always offer something new to do.

But it all really comes down to the individual gambler, as each gambler has a different mindset.

I also think about gambling without having to eat, and you've got an empty stomach will make you dull. And I agree that neglecting other things that could be a factor with our brains having to be in need of more energy, and we don't do anything about it, that will seriously make our thinking dull, and acts on those moments could show some real signs of it. So, in short that playing those games that OP mentioned won't have any effect to ourselves and can't make us dull. It is the actions that we do in accordance of how our brain is tasking our body to function.

The more research and analysis is done on these games, I think it is just waste of time. No skill is required for this game. Those who play such games do not have much effect on their brain. For long-term brain development, I think that such games should be selected that have the advantage of analysis. The more the brain follows a simple path, the more its performance will decrease. Of course, every gambler should exercise his brain properly.

Slots are just one of those games that I find enjoyable - they don't require much analysis to play, just a few steps and then I start spinning. Slots can become boring if played for too long - but they often offer fun for the first 10 to 30 minutes. Especially for slots - I don't think too much because it's just a game where winning depends on luck, so I just make a deposit and play.

I am making this comment for those people who do not use their intelligence or who decide to gamble only depending on luck. If gamblers are too stupid or if gamblers have no idea about gambling, then they decide to gamble directly depending on luck. I am saying that I will not bet my money on gambling where I have to rely directly on luck. I see some gamblers gambling in such a way that they take some amount of money and fly a rocket, the rocket flies 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or above and sometimes the rocket falls at 0x. When the rocket falls at 0x, all the gamblers who put money on the bet lose, but those who do not give up after the rocket goes to 1x or 2x and when the rocket falls at 3x, all these gamblers lose all their money. 
These are based on luck, so I always try to ignore them and instead try to play bets where I can use my skills and experience.

I don't know if am the only one that sees the word ''brainless'' as not the appropriate word to use in this context but however, whether you brainstorm on a game or not, they still depend on luck in order to win just that the luck for games like slots and dice it is very obvious that those games are completely based on luck, no skills, no strategies just roll it and whatever it turns out to that's just it. However, i don't think that those games make one to become dull just that you can get bored after making several attempts without winning.

If you try to do something useful every minute and strain your brain, then I think it will quickly end in a stroke or a heart attack  ;D Gambling is designed for entertainment (and especially games like slots or dice) and that is how it should be perceived. Isn't it natural that people relax when they play? If I want to strain my brain, I'll choose some complex card game or even chess. But I don’t remember when I played games like that because I already have enough brain strain due to work/regular life.

On the contrary, these sort of games can be really fun for some gamblers, especially beginners who just started gambling and have little to no experience on gambling, hopping on the slot machine can be really exciting if you ask me. Because if you introduce a newbie to skill based games, it'll be even more boring for them because they have absolutely no idea of what they're doing and they'll lose more, and what's the fun in playing when you're losing all the time simply because you don't know what you're doing.

There are no brainless  games. No gambling game is superior to another. No supremacy.  

There are just people who will like slots and will prefer it to blackjack.  And there are people who will like both. There are also people who will prefer to bet on virtual football than the real deal. It is all by choice.

You are always engaging your brain unless the person is experiencing psychosis.

You could say that many everyday activities are "brainless," in a way.  For example, when I mow the lawn, I do not have to use my brain.  Does that mean that I lose a few brain cells every few days for that activity?  Thats a dumb thought.  The human brain is always working, even when we are sleeping!  So, a person who spends a couple of hours a week doing a brainless activity is not going to become dull. However, a person who spends the majority of their waking hours in a passive, consumptive state is probably going to see at least a decline in their cognitive abilities over time.

They are not brainless game there are just game that requires no skill just as some users here have mentioned already, beside it won’t affect your brain any way , because is not only gambling you will be doing all your life you have other activities, like going to work , spending time with your love ones stuff like that . So betting on casino games won’t make you dull is just for a short while you being dull is on you may be you stop doing some other activities that usually  help to boost one brain power and stuff .

Who told you that you’re not using your brain when you’re playing slots? It might not be a complex usage but surely your brain is computing things and this will keep your brain a little active. Besides, you’re not spending the whole day on your screen gambling - you’d still leave to do other activities to help your brain improve its function.

You don’t have to complicate things before considering them learning or helpful to the brain, fun things can also help your brain too.

Perhaps it’s true that we might use a less power of the brain when playing some games in a casino especially those you mentioned as they require less or almost nothing to do with thinking as basically they depend on luck. However, it’s impossible not to use the brain in any instance, basically in biology; the human brain works all day even during sleep hours, only the body retires but the brain and mind stays at work hence it’s not possible not to use brain in any game as they still require you to choose between this or that in taking your chances.

Well, I honestly do not think there is any such thing as brainless games, for even the games you mentioned as an example are not brainless if you ask me, except if reasoning is different between humans and gambler.

I say this because I've never seen myself playing a slot game or any other game you mentioned in your example with absolutely nothing in my brain, I think alot and when ever I am playing games like slot, even though the game itself is one that doesn't put any strain on the brain, I still think about something, either about the game or something else to do with my life so as to better it, I do not how some people can go without them thinking about anything, for I still think even when I am sleeping which often times will look like I am dreaming, but in reality, it's simply just what I have in mind while asleep.

So, in the nutshell, I just want to say that I do not believe there is any such things as brainless games, except when and if the party has some kind of issues with their brain.

All those games you listed are casinos games -- has nothing to do with being brainless.. That you feel it isn't fair enough to gamble on, doesn't mean others don't try their luck and still get the best out of it. If it makes them "dull"? Well, you sound like someone who has zero clue about what gambling is.

Okay, I get it... I think it's just a problem of poor choice of words to express exactly what you mean, but I got you! There's nothing on planet earth that involves human actions, but without the brain... Are you just trying to take us back to Basic studies about the "Nervous" system again?

My question to you is, is there anytime we don't use our brains?

If you are going to talk about gambling games that does not require skills, then you should consider those feelings of excitement, anticipation and sadness that comes with playing those games. That's still the brain working even though there were very minimal mental analysis and calculations. You can't really say the brain isn't put to use when playing these kinds of games, there are still some moments when you begin to think what next to do to make sure you win. You might not be putting facts and figures together but the brain still goes through alot.

I think that mindless games have little meaning, but I can't say that it makes the player boring. Maybe he just wanted to spend time like that at a certain moment and won't do it anymore, or maybe he's trying to relieve the accumulated stress at work in this way. Although as for me, I'm more interested in just playing and trying out different strategies, so I don't have a mindless game. And in general, each player plays as he sees fit, because gambling is an expression of oneself to some extent.

Only if some gamble all day and most for of their daily routine and not doing any other thing will just brainrot them just as consuming social media or playing games because when we do something over and over in the virtual world then we will start losing the real world skills. But if I play the slot or dice for 30 minutes then it can be an escape from the stress that we are having from other things that can regenerate the brain strength and give us more energy to work productively.

I don't think if slots, or dice is brainless as you think. Because before you make selection you have to think properly so as to avoid making the wrong selection, and this is still the work of the brain. so you saying that slot or dice is brainless is very wrong. Rather you can only say that slot or dice does not require strategy, I think all  gamble related activities requires brain, while most of them lack strategy.

In the aspect of being dull while playing slots games, the truth is I don't like playing slot games. So if you ask me I can't possibly give an answer to that but I have seen someone saying that he always feel dull whenever he's playing slot games.

I believe all gambling games require using your brain, not in the sense of having high knowledge when playing, but when taking decisions and following the rules of the game, one should still use his brain for that. Now, I don’t see these games brainless, but rather they’re just luck and chance based, and your skills and strategies aren’t necessary anymore.

However, a gambler should still be wise in his decisions, especially in times when to cash out or when to continue gambling. Otherwise, if you gamble without using your brain, it’s like you are letting yourself to lose constantly, and I don’t think that’s what we want when gambling.

Brainless? It’s just us playing games that we love to play without calculations that do not make us brainless. It’s just a matter of us being entertained and not about us increasing our level of thinking. Even in slots, even as we don’t have a perfect strategy, there are still those who like to overtake everything seriously and make it look as if they are calculative. They don’t place bets on it blindly; they just use their brain to manage their bankroll and keep their budget in check.

Luck-based games like slots often get boring if played continuously. 1,000 to 2,000 spins is still fine for small bets and I never go beyond that for crypto casinos. I get bored easily with the same game and tend to switch if I don't win in the first 100 or 200 spins. This naturally means I don't want to linger on a game that's not profitable, even if it's fun. It's hard to say that gambling is purely fun for me; of course, we all want to win, not just have fun.

I understand your point, but what the brain is referring to here is analysis. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's what the OP meant. Slots and dice are two games that don't require much analysis, but slots offer some analysis. I'm not sure how one can analyze dice games, but slots offer some useful factors, such as RTP and volatility.

Here in my neighborhood, there are many slot machines everywhere. I see people playing every day, all the time. Sometimes I wonder if they ever rest. But something I've noticed is that they're always laughing and arguing among themselves, fighting, and yet they continue to play and laugh. They do this every day. Which leads me to believe that they're not bored; they're having fun when they play. Maybe the day they removed all the machines, they'd get bored.

Gambling is a form of entertainment, and as much as some governments demonize gambling and talk about addiction, gambling also has a good side: making people have fun. For example, people in my neighborhood spend hours playing games while drinking beer and chatting. Those slot machines have become their meeting point for fun. If they're not there, the street will be empty, giving thieves space to rob people passing by.

To be fair, in most of the casino games one can find out there, there is a minimum mental effort to be done. There are just a few games which require us to have enough attention to make choices, like blackjack (since one needs to pay attention on whether to continue to take cards or stop) and also crash (since one needs to decide when exactly ro cash out).

Anyways, I would not say slots make one brainless or numb, but I personally believe slots could make one to become insensitive, because there is not much to think about and those games mess much with out dopamine receptors in our brains, that is common knowledge.

One of the reasons I am not particularly fan of slots and prefer card games.

This is all based on how the gamblers allows himself to be influenced by gambling...it's possible to become dull through gambling and by that I mean being unresponsive and also having an unproductive mind, this is not because that is how your Brain was designed, gambling is simply taking more focus than what is necessary therefore this makes it difficult for you to concentrate and utilize your mental reasnoning

A game that requires no skill doesn't make one dull either nor does it mean that the brain is not used, the brain is always at work but however not using it to make tactics and think deeper like you do in other games might be the reference point yet it doesn't make you dull because few hours of not making high end thoughts doesn't decide the whole of your life or your brain capacity it's just temporary, for a moment.

It's possible. but only if someone gambles for hours every day, without engaging in other activities, but if someone gambles responsibly and manages their daily playing time, it won't affect their cognitive health. moreover, as one gets older, a person's cognitive health will also decrease, even without gambling, so if they want to hone their thinking skills, they can train themselves by reading or engaging in activities that require logic and concentration such as chess, etc., so that their cognitive health can be maintained longer, and help slow down the decline in brain function as they age.

It is more decent to say these games (slots, roulette, dice etc.) are luck-based than saying brainless games.

Anyway, I don't think it makes a gambler foolish if his chosen game is luck-based. We have our own way of thinking and preference. Hence, if you find satisfaction to this kind of game, why not? That's your choice and your money anyway. Just don't set a high expectation to win since it's luck-based, no skills required, therefore not easy to win.

Are these people who play "brainless" games, as you have said, stupid? Probably not, and for sure they are a usual gambler who just relies on luck. But they still have a good mind and faith in gambling. Why they chose those games was their decision as well. Yes, as some members said, "We all have different preferences." But for sure, we all have used our brains despite gambling on pure-luck-based games.

In our age of new technologies, whether we like it or not, unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are very easy to call "stupid." Let me clarify: sitting for many hours with gadgets, getting quick dopamine, playing fast games, using AI for any reason, without going into details and without delving into the accuracy of the data provided, is also quick dopamine, which completely discourages people from doing anything on their own. The brain needs to be developed, like all our muscles. Everything that we are too lazy to do, relying on existing conveniences, makes a person a dumb sheep (no matter how rudely this is said). It is necessary, along with push-ups, to develop your brain through reading, problem-solving, poetry, and everything that will contribute to the intellectual development of a person.

It is not only gambling that makes people antisocial, but it is also the neuro shit hitting. The prefrontal cortex of problem gamblers is usually underactive, which messes with impulse control & reallife decision making. There is no need of high level complex brain functions but they create an experience of what is referred to as a dark flow of trance that dulls self awareness & enhances dissociation especially to someone who is already emotionally vulnerable. That does not make them stupid but hooked, dissociated, & often lonely. Blaming is not a good way to deal this situation however they need some empathy & cognitive strategies to overcome.

I think this reply from @kryptqnick would help profer better answer to this in regards that the both threads is almost in same direction.

In this subject, I don't think if there is at all any game played without mental or logical reasoning.
The slot games are seem to be more likely to be skilless gambling activity but yet, there is terms that being logical can help. So literally, there is no such games that is not required disciplines and there is non that encourages such a dump headed.

What we may not know about unskilled games is that the more we play them is the more our develops mental faculties grows in the logic of finding solutions. So, non of the above mentioned is a brainless game.

I don`t sure that "dull" is right word. Such gambler would become not interesting. And it even don`t depends on would his games be brainless or not. People must have different interests to be interest If someone will be in the gambling all day long - you would speak with him only about gambling. It is ok if you see him one time per month, but if he will tell you about gambling every day - you will be tired soon.

How major is this "major part of his/her daily routine"? If a person plays dice/slots for 12 hours a day, when does he go to work?
Are you suggesting that unemployed people with lots of free time are playing dice/slots/roulette/crash several hours per day?
How come those unemployed people have enough money to spend on gambling?
There were studies claiming that watching TV 10 hours per day makes you stupid. I don't know about how true those statements are, but there must be a little bit of truth here and there. If you think that slots and dice are brainless games, then maybe all traditional casino games are brainless(excluding poker). I don't know about a gambling game, where you have to use your brain in order to win the game. Most gambling games are based on luck, not on brains and IQ.

From what I know, excessive engagement in non-stimulating activities, especially when done continuously, can contribute to cognitive decline over time. But this usually happens when people play without time limits and for prolonged periods. Such behavior not only affects the brain but can also lead to addiction. To prevent this, it’s important to balance play with other activities that involve critical thinking and problem-solving to keep the mind active. They also need to manage their playtime to avoid excess that could cause both cognitive and financial harm.

I wouldn't call any gambling games brainless because money is involved, even if it's games like slot that totally depends on luck to win. A gambler that is playing casino games with their money surely wants to test their luck and to receive reward or winnings if it favors them. I don't even think that it's necessary to apply too much brain work in gambling because after all your supposed perfect strategy and analysis you can still lose your bet. The thing is that people should not see gambling as a job, enjoy yourself with amount that you can afford to loose, no need to stress your brain so much because of gambling.

Certainly no. It won’t make a person dull, instead it will bring entertainment and fun, regardless if that certain game requires using your brain or not.

And just to make it clear, there is no dull moment with gambling, especially if you’re at the streak of winning. And even if losses start to appear, it won’t make you dull, but it will definitely make you a strategic gambler on how you will manage to minimize or overcome those losses.

I also don't see the reason why a person would feel dull when he does gambling regularly even if it's a pure luck-based game that doesn't require amy mental effort.

Putting gambling on their daily schedule is a stress-reliever for some people. It would never make them dull or even reduce how their brain works if they do gambling regularly.

Some questions are funny, and this is a typical example of it given above regarding gamblers who play slot games. Because the truth of the fact is that we have got 2 distinctive sets of people (i.e the smart and dull people), and as such, no matter how long a dull individual plays a game that requires the use of his/her brain, such individual can never be smart. And likewise the same thing goes to a smart person who can never be dull, simply because he/she chose to play slot games. Because also, slot games also requires the use of Brain work to be able to gamble effectively and responsibly.

It all depends on what exactly you expect from gambling. If we are talking about slots, then it is really not an intellectual game. Perhaps it is comparable to lotteries. Of course, it is not poker, where you are required to analyze a huge amount of often poorly structured and unclear information. In slots, you just need to press a button, and in lotteries, you just need to buy one or more lottery tickets. But slots are not played to develop intellectual abilities. Slots are about entertainment. In the vast majority of cases, you will lose, but at the same time, you may experience a thrill. It will seem to you that luck was closer than ever.

I can play slot games and any other totally luck based games for fun with hope of winning sometime, nothing serious, I don't like to worry myself so much in gambling. Whether it's luck based games or skill based games you still need luck to win, when I play games like sports bet that I need to analyze I choose not to overanalyze. I have enough activities that I use my brain to do, so if I choose to play a brainless game it doesn't mean that it'll numb my brain for other functions aside from gambling. We should try as much as possible to avoid being addicted to gambling and that is why I believe that we shouldn't put too much brain work into it.

I think it depends on each person's interests. I currently prefer slot gambling, where winning is purely based on luck, as there's no need for strategy or anything else that forces the brain to think. I just wait for a good spin and win. However, even so, I don't get bored of playing it over and over again, unless the game lasts long enough, then I get bored. But the option I do other than stop playing is sometimes I turn to games that are not the type of gambling.

It takes zero effort for the brain to process this and hence it is what the body likes to do which is why these games are so addictive. There are other games like dice which also follow the same procedure and hence always addictive if played for quite some time.

The games thag need some thinking like sports betting and poker they dont necessarily yield well to the ones with intelligence but specific skills related to that game. Of which I think sports does carry a lot of luck factor in it.

Brainless gambling games can be compared to scrolling through a social media feed. Usually, people who constantly play such games do it on autopilot, giving their brain a quick endorphin boost. I believe these games should be limited, as occasional cases can simply help disconnect from everyday stress, but if it becomes a regular habit, it turns into an addiction that interferes with life.

Games that lack mental engagement affects a person's way of having deeper thinking, understanding,calculative mindsets and even brainstorming.It usually dulls mental sharpness and the capability to thinking outside the box.Although some games lacks mental engagement and cognitive thinking, that where mental depreciation takes place.

I'm not sure of how people tend to play a game without their brains, or perhaps, you meant to say that they don't use a higher level of reasoning in these types of games, which i think it is very true for certain games, but not sure of the ones you mentioned because i don't play them either. The thing is, as long as you are awake, and playing to get a win, then it means that your brain is in action. We can't necessary say that because those types of games don't demand a lot of reasoning, then it is deemed to be called a brainless game. Let's just say that it takes less effort, but your brain is definitely in action.

I could remember someone sharing a thread about mental sports a few days back. Games like Poker, Chess and Blackjack were mentioned, and they where actual games that demands a lot of reasoning and IQ from a player or gambler as the case maybe. Other games might not be as tough as the ones mentioned, but the brain is still behind the actions.

in all the gambling I don't think that there's the one that I have a skill and with the skill you may use it to benefit there's no gambling platform that you come apply a skill and the benefit from it always or constantly, you and I know very well that the gambling is all about the risk and whoever that indulge into it knows that gambling is all about risk it's not all about learning the procedures or having a professional skill that will make you to win in gambling,winning is by chance and it is very clear

Playing slots for a long time without a break disrupts the brains dopamine and other chemical balances.
The brain is an organ that develops and produces. If time is spent on things that don't challenge the mind, it can make it dull.
Constantly watching slots can be hypnotizing.

Much more accurately, slot gambling requires no skill whatsoever; we can simply determine whether each spin is good or bad. This is certainly quite easy for anyone to do. It's true, however, that winning ultimately depends on luck.

They say one man's poison is another man's treasure, if we apply the same concept here...we find that a game would be considered useless or foolish because of gambling on it, but trust me someone somewhere is being crowned as the King or Queen 👑 of that very game you see as useless or waste of time and money!

And btw it's easily to label some games brainless because one doesn't understand or have the know how or maybe one sacks at it and loses money to it, but that shouldn't warrant the bad mouthing..

You actually mean games that doesn't need strategy and mental exercise to execute results? If that's what you mean, then yes. Playing slot, Plinko, dice and non strategic based games are prone to cause mental dullness in any individual that constantly participate in this game and never try other strategic based games.

The brain needs it to be functional, troubleshooting to be able to expand, and these games do not give it such function, just making players been dummy hitting on the stake button without knowing what would happen next, just mere luck.

So dummy to me.

There is a huge chance that if you focus on playing these types of games, then your primary aim in gambling would be for profit. Implications? You can easily get addicted into this venture; you would also chase that feeling of high every win; and it would be difficult for you to stop.


Just to add to what you have mentioned, there is really no merit in playing slots given the risks associated with it. As we all know, this is the game that has the lowest chance of garnering you a win- it really implies that you are chasing for profit instead of entertainment.

Is the brain only used for gambling? No, right?  ;D
As long as our brains are still used to think about various things, including many things outside of gambling, it's not a problem. Unless we're already predisposed to gambling and all we can think about is playing slots, that's when our brains become dull, and we can actually only think about slots, and again, slots, without considering all the risks, gameplay, strategies, bankroll management, and even the mechanics, or even the logic itself—it could even be said to be flawed.

But, again, that's if our brains are truly not used to think about anything else, only about luck-based games, like slots.

Let us put it this way, every game whether you don't need brain or not, is still using your brain cells to think the next step you need to do. So whether the game is easy or not, still, our minds are still working and trying to find ways how to get that profit. It will only make you dull if whole day everyday, you are not doing anything to improve yourself. And if that habit is consuming you too much where you can't work anymore to find more worthwhile activities and you are putting yourself in a rabbit hole, then, maybe, it is high time to alter your lifestyle. Do remember, no one will fund your gambling games other than yourself. So if you don't work for it, it means, you are relying from others and so you will incur debt.

Yes, our minds are working 24/7 even with those easy games. It works but it takes a rest because we don't see any visuals and we're not awake.

So, resting and sleeping could be the great thing about it when we feel and we're having dull moments.

It's also making us dull, when we're on the point of being desperate and we still gamble despite it should be enough and must be called it a day.

Some might be winning big but it's luck and there are more losers than winners (this is assumed, but I am confident on this assumption).


The word might have been bit offensive, but I deffo didn't mean it that way, may be I should have went with, "games that don't challenge the brain".

Life is what you make of it, so in some cases it is fine to relax and have some fun.

The key is to have a balanced life in which you also stimulate your brain, and do other activities.

If you only do one thing, then that's a bit of a waste, independent if it uses your brain or not.

If you play gambling occasionally, you will enjoy your time in gambling and will not think much. You just want to have fun in gambling without thinking about winning or losing. You will not chase the win if you win and you will not recover the loss if you lose. You will accept the result easily and leave the casino without doubting. You can treat gambling as an entertainment and you know that playing gambling too much can make you lose much money. So you will prevent that from happening to you because you don't want to feel sad. Balancing your life is necessary so you can enjoy the time doing many activities, including gambling.

It will remain enjoyable if gamblers can consistently have fun with their gambling. However, it often happens that gamblers who initially only have fun with gambling will become serious as they engage in more gambling activities. In fact, it's not a problem if gamblers are serious about gambling and generating extra income from it. The only issue is that gamblers often go too far when they get serious and may neglect other responsibilities just to gamble.

What you've said makes me think this is more about people viewing gambling as entertainment. It's not about gambling being boring, but rather, what you mean by playing a game that doesn't stimulate the brain, will boredom arise?
For example, if you're playing slot games where winnings are purely based on luck, so there's no strategy that uses brain power to increase your chances of winning. Will this make you bored and turn to games that require skill or not?

I personally enjoy playing poker sometimes, but there's no real money involved. Honestly, I prefer playing it in person with my friends because I find poker quite fun and brain-boosting. Although it can be challenging and requires skill, I enjoy playing it despite my limited skills.

In any form of gambling, luck is involved, even in games that emphasize skill and knowledge, it's still closely tied to luck.

Here it depends on how much time this person devotes to these gambling games. Yes, it is difficult to argue that such gambling games almost do not require any thought processes from the gambler. And we can only press one button and generally entrust this to the autoclick function.

But nevertheless, I want to defend such a gambler with the arguments that you can regulate the bet size there, and therefore you can try to use something like martingale, which means that this is already some room for maneuver.

True, it should able to make a person dull with time. Games such as slots or dice do not arouse reasoning, the mind or application of methods, therefore when one consumes more of their mental strength on such games, they won't be using their brain. Just like the muscles, when not challenged, they go weak. Repetitive,  active bets can equally drain aim and tolerance on those   activities that certainly required pondering.

Most casino games requires you to think before executing. And for someone who doesn't just jump in on every round, it makes sense if you take some time to do little calculations before going all in. Yes we know how these games aren't much in need of our calculative skill, it's all about risk.

As a gambler I don't actually see how they make you dull. When playing casino games, the algorithm gives you what you were meant to see. It doesn't matter much if you do the math. The probability will still be selected in a random order..

There's no game we can play without exercising game, it may just be more different from each other in rates, but teasing the brain is part of the fun because we have to use the same brain to decide on which game to play, when and how, while some other games may only require more than these, like the sport bets, which takes much of our time and interlect to thing and plan well upon the game we want to play.

I think, no? some people just want some pure entertainment, and they want to relax, and relaxing isn't a bad thing for the brain. Actually, these game where we autopilot most of the time and scientifically as long as you're healthy and always active in physical activities, your brain won't get rusted. So, meaning, as long as you're engage with these kinds of activities even it doesn't require brain activity, it doesn't make you dull, as long as you're enjoying and happy with it, it's fine and nothing to worry about.

But other way around, yes it might affect you on your next games but with discipline and good mental game, you won't lose that focus and still you can manage a good game.

We have seen several gamblers try to make a strategy to outsmart this "brainless" game.  From that the answer can be seen.  The human mind keeps on working even if one doesn't see it.  A working mind keeps developing, no matter how little it works, so to answer your question whether playing non-skilled games makes us dull is no.

We cannot play any game without using our brain because there are some procedures to play the game and to complete them we have to use our brain. But the fact is that no skill is used in casino slot games, which means there is no other way to win here except to depend on luck alone.
However, when we make a wager, the excitement that goes through us basically entertains us, but since each person's feelings are different, someone may not get any enjoyment from it and they can choose something else for their enjoyment.

Requiring calculation or over thinking is the only thing op sees as making use of the Brian in gambling whereas biologically human brains are always in action even sometimes when at sleep, perhaps the games in casino may require little or no effort in playing them yet still retain some level of thought before one goes ahead to make a choice hence there is no moment without the use of brain and not stressing the brain biologically makes it contract and expand yet the use is in place unconsciously

I think not, it's just the game that dull and not the person, it's not like he'll adapt the game because he's glued at it at the screen. Remind you that with these kind of games you cannot be present in it since there's available feature to automatically spin it without your intervention.

Yeah that's brainless game no wonder as it doesn't require for you to think but I don't think it will make you dull in the end, that's simply not how the logic works.

OP your choice of word (brainless) makes no sense, tagging it to slot games like dice and the rest sounds awkward cause when you gamble you actually make use of your brain to think of possible moves that would make you win, most slots games like dice require the use of your brainc, you need to be smart to even be able to win most of those slot games so I wonder why you think they're brainless, no offense but I wonder whether you don't use your brains to gamble or play slot games, incase you don't know I want you to understand the answer to your question is no, slot games doesn't make anyone look dumb regardless of whether they're skill-based or not.

I don't think playing games that require no thinking or skills will make anyone dull; it's just that they won't be using their brain for them, since all you gotta do is decide how much you want to bet, and then press a button to see the outcome of your bet. Another reason why they don't make someone dull because you basically stay on your toes the whole time you are playing these games, especially if you are too concerned about losing your money and want to win something good with it, in that case, you might not be using your brain, but you will be in constant stress if you are not winning.

Those who play such games for fun can basically just chill, have their decided bankroll in their account, play some games to kill the free time they have while sitting on the couch sipping from a drink and having some snacks. That's how gambling should be, it shouldn't make you stressful, but it should allow you to release tension and have some fun after getting tired for doing something.

These games cannot be called brainless game entirely even if they don’t require to have some kind of skill or knowledge about them to play. Some part of your brain are still functioning even though they don’t play a very big vital part in decision making in the games. The certainty or likelihood of the outcome of a game is something you’ll always have to think of when playing this games, so it makes your brain still working.

I just feel as long as you have moved to play a game, the first thing that prompt you to go for that game is your brain and it will continue to function for you as long as you’re in the game to determine the likelihood of outcome of the game. I don’t think any game in gambling can be called brainless, they just require high or low level of mentality to decide the outcome of the game.

I don't think that playing brainless game like dice and slot games will make one dull since it's all about fun and luck between two people. The main aim of calling it gambling is because it involves money and Also comes with excitement and also with win or lose. This money involved motivate and makes it no longer a dull game since it increases the act of seriousness when money is involved.

We do not turn off our brains fully when we play. Although you do not need any profound knowledge or skill to play many games, we think when we make every single decision, however tiny. We just cannot but think of the opportunities and consequences which we encounter. Although the decisions, which are worked out in more complicated cases, might not be so significant, the thought process which involves analysing and predicting future steps is still carried out by the brain. Thus, games do not demand a great deal of mental strength, but they still involve some type of intelligence.

When I get tired, hungry and emotional. It makes me brainless and it's not all about the games that I play with.

But, it's about the condition of my body that makes dull and even brainless at that moment. Don't you gamble when you have those conditions.

It's only for the sake of discussion, so it should be fine.

Slots might be you just having to push the button and watch it roll for outcomes and that’s it but, is it entirely brainless? I think not.

You know even while playing on slot machines, you tend to be calculative on just when go roll, how much to put out for a stake and speculate on the outcomes… those are some of the ways you can put your brain to use on the slot machine. No one would be on that machine and not have to own up to some thoughts on the game.

Slots, dice etc. are made completely dependent on luck and all these games are one of the riskiest games. By participating in these games you can never analyze whether you will win or not because all these games have to depend completely on luck. When a person plays slots, dice, he will constantly lose money and at some point he will suffer a lot and after suffering a lot, he may become bored. However, playing slots, dice etc. is not a brainless gambling game. It allows a person to play without analyzing and acquiring skills where anyone can participate.

I think OP used a wrong word but what he was trying to relate it with are games that doesn't require any strategy for the gambler to win, just games that completely rely on luck. As far as gambling is concerned, I don't think there's any game that is brainless, though many casino games doesn't work with any strategy but it doesn't make the game brainless and does not also dull someone unless the person in not even interested in the game.

Slot, dice and the rest of the casino games that doesn't require any analysis cannot be said to be brainless games and they can be considered more risky than analyzed games. They are just games for fun and if you're able to have control over your bankroll it shouldn't be brainless. If you're a responsible gambler that plays these luck based games it means that you have to calculate the time to spend and how much you're willing gamble with. Except a gambler is irresponsible there's always some sort of calculation involved otherwise the gambler can drift into addiction.

Yes, gambling is fun but it should not be played for a long time but for a short time, there are many players who spend most of their time gambling all day. When a person spends a lot of time on one thing, he will get stuck there, just like if he spends the whole day in gambling, his brain will definitely get stuck there. The most important thing in gambling is to control yourself and spend a little time in gambling, losing control will definitely have serious consequences for a person. That is why one should always enter into gambling responsibly, one should always maintain one's balance so that the brain does not drown in gambling.

Absolutely right and everything in life is good in moderation. For example, many sports professionals have a very limited outlook because they are focused only on sports, the same applies to gamblers and many poker players, and of course they strive to improve their skills. But because of this, their outlook is so narrowed that they become extremely limited and vulnerable.

Therefore, you need to have at least one strong hobby, other than gambling, or at least not a hobby, but some kind of commitment to your family or relatives that will not let you forget that we all live not only among our thoughts, but also in the outside world with other people and other interests.

Based on my own experience and experience, as a slot machine enthusiast, this type of gambling doesn't require any strategy, so it doesn't really train the brain. Just waiting for a good spin and luck to win is key. However, when boredom sets in, it can easily set in because there's no real challenge to challenge the brain. I gamble responsibly, and when boredom sets in, it's very easy to stop gambling, sometimes leaving my remaining balance, sometimes withdrawing it.

Yeah, that's the thing, "brainless" activity is actually quite good for a person, because it allows the brain to engage in other kinds of thoughts.

This actually happens all the time, when you are first learning to walk, it takes a lot of brain power, so you can't think of anything else. But once you know, then a walk can actually unlock some excellent thoughts.

For example, I choose slots when I just need to switch off, that is, to switch off my brain for a while from constant work and analysis and so that new questions do not arise, slots are a good option, you change the point of attention, it helps to relax. If you play only slots constantly, then I agree that it dulls a person, and short gaming sessions, for example, help me, and the creation of simple safety rules help not to do stupid things.

Brainless? I think that even without a strategy, the brain still responds and suggests actions. Like it or not, when you press the buy spin button, the automatic spin is based on a command from the brain.

Every action is also based on commands from the brain and then responded to by the limbs. It's not always about strategy, the brain is an inseparable part of every human activity.

It sounds ridiculous to gamble without using your brain, like emptying your entire mind onto the table and then starting to press the “buy spin” button.

It's just that in slots everything is already predetermined and the thought of this imposes great boredom on the player, because he understands that this path has already been practically laid out and everything has already been calculated by the slot machine.
Such a situation is impossible, for example, in poker or blackjack, where the outcome of the game is decided every moment and literally one careless glance or smile can give your opponent important information about the cards you have in your hands.

Exactly, his choice of word is wrong he would've either used boring or less interesting, not saying brainless, that word sounds dumb like they're good for nothing but that's not it, it actually depends on the gamblers preference, for instance some gamblers prefer slot games, acrades and roulettes infact the sound from it attracts them to continue playing while some folks thinks they're less interesting and would prefer games that would require them to be more strategic than depending on luck, and if someone happens to not like those games they feel are less interesting they shouldn't refer to them as brainless.

I don't think that's how it works. Anyone who is already educated will keep what he learned from all his studies. Even if he play games that don't need to use brains to be played, he will remain educated. Let's not forget, there are games in the 90's that are also repetitive. Nintendo games and other consoles. It doesn't need too much thinking to be played and it's all the same way over and over again. Yet, there are so many wise people from that era.

There is a psychological benefit that even those games that do not fully engage the brain provide to the brain. They provide a form of relaxation for the brain by giving the brain some time off, and promoting better brain health because the relaxation helps the brain.

So those games provide relaxation, and relaxation doe not really make one dull.

Well I agree with that, gambling should not be played for too long, meaning there should be a time phase or time gap of at least one week every time you want to gamble, don't do it too often, especially every day, the reason is because when you play too often then you will see a lot of temptations in it and what often tempts me is the big win that almost happened but didn't happen, it can really increase my curiosity and obsession with the game which has the impact that you will play more often and when you are trapped in that situation it will be very difficult for you to stop or control yourself.

I also noticed that if I start to overplay for too long, I start doing some actions that are not typical for me in the game, for example, making extra bets or raising so as not to get bored, and this is no longer about a logical game according to strategy, but more about managing our emotions. I always try to catch the moment in the game when I start to do extra actions, this means that it is necessary to stop and not even let myself make the last bet, because we deceive ourselves and after the last bet there may be another and another, and so the players break down, and I do not want this at all.

You are right, one doesn't have to gamble on intellectual games everytime, gambling is all about entertainment and picking the games that makes you comfortable. Intelligence isn't reduced by that type of games you play. That only thing that's capable of affecting a person's person Brain negatively is gambling addiction, when this happens it can make the gambler lose focus or concentration

I don’t think brainless activities make you dumb. However, not challenging yourself mentally can… There is nothing wrong with taking a break doing mindless activity, but don’t live your life like that. You need something thought provoking and challenging in your life so that you continue growing and learning.

Why consider these games "brainless"? I think it's rather the other way around, instead of boring you they are made to hook you, all current games seek to stimulate your brain, giving you feelings of satisfaction, so you could say that it is a stimulant and don't expect it to bore you to the point that you don't want to come back, I think this is subjective and depends on each person, there are things that require skills and this does not mean that they are fun, as an example I would tell you chess, many people could find it boring and overwhelming because of its high demands on tactics and deep thinking.

It's actually not that deep, intelligence cannot be reduced by doing the things that you enjoy. First of all, there are people that are not so bright and there are those that are very intelligent naturally, it doesn't matter whether they play games that are based on skills or luck this won't affect their intelligence or make them dull In any way. Gambling is all about having fun and also ensuring that you do it moderately

A game is a game, I don't think any game can make someone dull because in playing the game, you use your brain, no matter how easy or simple that particular game would be, your brain is like a computer and the engine room of your body, picking the game alone, your brain is working always maybe you would have said games without using strategy, even at that, no game can make you dull, it's all about the way you see it, instead it brings out the fun and entertainment of the game which gambling is meant to be and you use these gambling games for practice that will make you improve and get better skills before starting to gamble games that involved money.

What you experienced is very true. I also often experience the same thing. Often, carelessness destroys everything. Therefore, I believe that awareness and firmness regarding previously established boundaries are very important to maintain. Sometimes I also often get caught up in emotions due to careless actions, which ultimately cause me to lose control and lose all the money I had at that time.
From this discussion, we can conclude that playing for long periods of time is indeed very dangerous. Boredom and carelessness can be the beginning of destruction.

I agree. They are not brainless games. Even slot games require understanding how the game works so that we will know if we are winning or not. It helps if someone has an idea of what is playing, and so I think it's not making a gambler dull or anything.

Anyway, if we want to be more analytical, we can always pick games that require analysis. Sports betting or poker. Those types of games are not an easy type of play because of how deep the game could be. In poker, even the change of facial expression could mean something.

I wouldn't call all these games brainless. It's rude. It seems to me that here they are simply designed for a wide audience, and they are made as much as possible in terms of mechanics, even if they don't have much of a plot, like in single-player computer games.
This is why gambling is so widespread, because it suits almost everyone.
And casino games differ only slightly in terms of mechanics. They are all built on chance, which plays with or against the player and makes one feel relaxed if the gambler does not bet much, or stressed if the bet is made with the last money.

It does. Have you see the impact of kids who are scrolling tik tok or instagram all they long? Nobody can disprove that it does, there are plenty of examples.

It is not rude, it fits with the type of game. There are simple games and there are complicated games. Simple games are made for a wider audience as you say, but for an audience that has less brain capacity. Don't blame others if you are not smart enough for more complicated games. I would say it is rude to be stupid instead.  :)

I've always told people that they should have plenty of other things to enjoy in the real world, because that way they'll allocate less time to each entertainment activity so they can enjoy many activities. This reduces the risk of addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling, and even depression.

But unfortunately, when people have problems at work or financial problems at home, they choose to seek out alcohol, drugs, and even gambling and isolate themselves from the rest of the world as a way to forget their problems. The effect is the opposite: they get another problem: addiction, which is a very difficult disease to cure.

Playing brainless gambling to me can never make a person turn into a dullard, even tho you indulge yourself in such game's or activity everyday it can not make you dull. No one will actually say he or she uses 24 Hours which is one full day to play games, there are other activities or should I say routine a Person involves his or her selves into to keep the brain activity.
So to me playing brainless game's can Never make a person dull because those kind of gambling might or must be played for most especially fun, to while away time and most people do that to escape some kind of thinking and the rest so still to me playing brainless can never make me dull, cause we do other things with our time which we might not know it's educative but it's actually is and keeping the brain active.

Many activities can also be bad too, you can't cheat your way out of mental illnesses. There are people who get addicted to stuff like candy crush or even worse spending thousands of dollars per month buying in game currency in a game like that. You can't even win anything with it, it is fake money. Arguably it worse than gambling. With gambling you at least have some chance to win something. LOL

The emphasis is on a variety but of helpful and productive activities, it can't just be a number of any things.

These games are solely a function of the Player's luck at the moment , It's clear that Strategies can be applied In fact, there are many on the web and in many publications But what Really makes sense is that these games require great restraint There's no need to invent anything or use a martingale or anything similar, because that would be the end of your money.

You should play with carefully calculated money, and with that, you can achieve better results.

I think that will remain the best strategy in my submission. Planning a well calculated money spending on gambling should be the best strategy for one to adopt when gambling games like Slots and Casinos and nothing more. It will be a magic to predict slots games accurately and consistently. It will be dumbfounded to try to determine your wins and losses when gambling slots and other casino games and the rest is just pure luck.

Taking breaks at good intervals also helps you to minimise losses and have time to make better decisions with your money than just gambling. You can't spend all your incomes on gambling and you have to treat gambling as a second or third option always in your schedules. Never be in that position where you prioritize gambling as your source of income. You will regret it.

People tend to confuse the fact that restraint is a vital part of strategy, they think that personal behavior is not part of strategy. That is the problem. So yes these games too can be played with all kinds of strategies relating to the results that you are having.

It is always the best, but it is hard for most.

Your explanation is well understood, the word brainless is extreme because no one is actually brainless if you think about it and there's no casino game that's capable of making anyone lose brain cells. From old times till date a lot of people haven't accepted the fact that gambling is also a source of entertainment because of what they understand about it and how they see it. Gambling can't reduce intelligence

How do you consider gambling to be brainless? So long as gambling is concerned there is no game that is brainless, even the casino you feel that is brainless still requires some calculation/ thinking before making selections so in this case what shows that casino game is brainless? I'm sure the answer is no, no, so don't even consider any game brainless except is not a gambling related game you're talking about because whatever thing that requires puting our money to get something requires some thinking and calculation so as to enable you not to miss the target even though we may not be able to win all the time in gamble but we always pray for luck to always be by our side.

You still got to use brain though except that in the games like Slot and crash games you don't depend on your knowledge about the game but completely a lucky driven out come game unlike in sports where you have to make some calculations on stats and other factors. But brainless! Lol, doesn't your choice of words sound weird to have pitched such word to alot games, of all words to choose from.

However, playing these games you classified as dull games would never make you dull. At least it hasn't being scientifically proven for the main time.

You guys are right and I agree completely, gambling has nothing to do with a person's intelligence, who ever is wise and wise and who is foolish is foolish, a wise person who is a gambler can not suddenly become foolish simply by choosing to play some selected type of games, it makes no sense absolutely.

If a person who is wise can become foolish by simply playing games that doesn't need them to think critically, this simply means that we will have alot more foolish persons walking the streets because as a matter of fact, watching movies would still make wise people foolish, as I do not see anyway a movie (drama) can contribute to a person's intelligence, there are several other activities like this that I can't start mentioning one by one, if all of this things were to have a say on how intelligent a person is or can be, then it simply means that one in three persons around the world would be foolish now.

Playing slots, dice or all the other luck based games doesn't take away the aspect of metal calculations and prompt engagement of mental accuracy to be able to roll the dice well enough to give that expected winning, so for sure we can say that those games are not brainless games, but then their requires less skills but high luck to win them, between you still have to engage your brain in playing them also, for that reason, we can't take out the place of brain usage in those games.

Unless someone spends most of his time to gamble in such game, I think it won't bring significant impact. I mean, someone should have many activities daily, he won't only gamble in the whole day. There must be other activities that trigger the brain to think seriously and make his day be meaningful. If he has a real job, he must think more about the job. There must be a lot of things to be done in the real job. Meanwhile if he is still study in university, he must think more about the lessons. As a student, there are many tasks to be done as soon as possible. So, it is a very small chance that such gambling game makes someone dull because someone has other activities.

Indeed. A gambling game won't lead someone to be foolish or brainless. Moreover if he only gambles for fun and has limited time to play gambling games. The impact will be rather small, it even almost has no impact. Not everyone makes gambling be a regular activity, some people only gamble when they have spare time only. Considering this fact, there is no significant correlation between playing gambling and our intelligence.

Basically, it all depends on your initial intention for gambling. Are you gambling to make money or just for entertainment?

Because it all depends on your motivation when you want to gamble. Sometimes simple games can quickly become boring, but for most gamblers, that's where the fun lies.

Therefore, it all depends on each individual, whether it's just casual entertainment or an experience that trains strategy and concentration.

I feel like gambling is pretty stupid to partake in general unless you can afford it or truly believe youre going to win. If you dont have either going for you then stay away haha it is wise to be more conservative, friends! Although I am definitely not opposed to responsible gambling practices  ;)

It really depends.

You can play "brainless" gambling games and make yourself dull or play them as a form of occasional entertainment. What really matters is how long and how often you play. I mean, if you do nothing but play then yes, eventually your mind will become dull. But if you play every once in a while to blow off some steam after a busy day then that's fine, I think.

Since when did we start having control over dice rolls? I don't know if you can do that physical dice rolls, but certainly it's impossible to have any control while playing at online casinos.


That's so wrong.

I believe games that don't require skill but only luck are more likely to lead to addiction, because in the specific case of slot machines, the sounds, the colors, the small wins, and the hope of a bigger one force your will to continue and hope.
Furthermore, since they're so relaxing from a gaming perspective, you don't even notice the loss you're incurring because your mind keeps repeating itself (I'm recovering now).
I confess that I play them every now and then, but I don't play for longer than 10 minutes. If I win or lose within 10 minutes, I quit the game.

Yes, most likely, in games where there is only chance and the gambler cannot influence the outcome in any way, addiction will most likely appear.
Because I've never heard of addiction to poker or blackjack, because the guys there are always tense, and they think, and the brain is designed in such a way that it's unlikely that it can get addicted to something where you have to constantly think and analyze and be tense.

Who told you that to gambling on dice or something like that by brainless brain? Nothing can be done without a brain. In dice if anyone play with same ampunt and only by pressing by same button then that will make only loser now or that and actually it may happen too fast. But if anyone can use brain then t6here might have chance to be a winner. Eg: if anyone place bet again the 3 loss in a row then maximum time the cance of being winer is too high.

It is only when we're sleeping that our brains are not active, as far as you're in a gambling site you need to be calculative of a lot of things. For you to know when to stop playing luck based games shows that you're using your brain, for you to use amount that you can afford to loose shows that you're using your brain. Even when you're greedy and chasing loses you're still using your brain because you want to recover what you've lost. If you're gambling for fun and enjoying yourself you're giving your body and soul rest and it's your brain that tells you that you need to relax. Either you're gambling for fun or to make money you have a purpose for it and it's your brain at work.

It depends on the time we spend playing those games on average, let's say if someone is spending 30 minutes of their day to playing some quick games, this can bring positive outcomes such as relieving work stress, gives some kind of refreshment and even some kind of relaxation to the brain from the usual routine.

But the scenario changes completely if someone is spending 6 hours of their day into playing casino or rolling dice on an everyday schedule that is bad and can make one less creative over time.

I also think there are no gamblers who bet without using their brains. Even in luck-based games like slots, people might think they just need to keep spinning until their balance runs out. If they are lucky, they might win, if they lose, then just leave. But without realizing it, even in the process of gambling on luck, our brains play a role in control and decision-making.

Perhaps what the OP means is related to gamblers who bet blindly and only rely on luck. In such a way, I don't know what motivates people to gamble if they do it like that. The only thing I can think of is that such people are not gamblers, but just people who are testing their luck.

I mean games like dice/slots don't require using much brain power, do they? If player changes amount, multiplier here and there — at most you'll be using elementary level math, now don't say it's much.


Not sure what you mean, but if what little I am getting is right — do you forget that each roll is independent of previous outcomes?

Yes, this only happens when you enjoy the game and sports betting, this is the best thing you can do because it achieves something like this and betting without pressure and without any kind of worry is the most enjoyable activity in the world and that does bring relaxation, because there comes a time when you accept whether you win or lose.

But what if in those 30 minutes the gambler loses all their monthly income...

I wouldn't consider that a relaxing half an hour, it would be pretty stressful.

I think it all depends on the amount of time but also the amount of money involved.

Gambling games are meant to entertain one  and they are not by chance brainless games I understand the fact that the are mostly programmed to let the users lose but then they are not brainless gambling games that in turn would make one dull.
Initially i understand that we spend so much time playing those games that tend to be fun but sometimes it thus has an effect on the individual but not to the extent of making the person dull.

We can actually enjoy it without using lots of brains especially if we play slots or even dice games.

But if it happens that its been programmed for us to lose and didn't give us a chance to win then provably that I won't gamble on those games that has been programmed just like what you have mentioned.

But in sports betting we could not really do any brainless gambling or betting here, its because if we play fool or became lazy to learn more about the sports we like to bet. There's huge chance that we end up losing.

A gambling game that doesn't require a lot of effort won't be boring if the spins result in a profit. This way, we can enjoy the gambling because it increases our profits. However, we must understand that the chances of losing are greater than winning, so gambling won't always result in a profit, as losses are more likely to occur.
However, if the spins are good and long-lasting, I sometimes get bored even after switching games. It's also important to understand that gambling for too long is not good, even if the spins are good.

Don't you think gambling is a trap to get money. Where you said that Dua is basically made for fun, yes I also agree that gambling is made for fun but the developers have already planned that people will come here for fun and after coming here for fun they will get addicted so they will gamble and lose in gambling so the developers/those who run the gambling will profit. I have seen many people who first say that they are playing it for fun or some gambling sites are seen giving some demo assets for practice. Initially the gamblers start gambling with those demo assets and at some point they start thinking that now I will use real money instead because I have learned a lot now thinking that my chances of winning are much higher they gamble with real money and it is seen that in most cases they lose their money.

Personally, when it comes to games of chance, my biggest priority is money Whether you win or lose, the number one priority is money. If we don't control money, it's impossible for us to control emotions alone. Emotions can fail at any moment, and that's a very bad thing So, given the way things are, we should all be clear about that idea.

They don't require any, you can play them essentially half asleep like many of those terrible mobile games that so many people are hooked on. Their ability to get many average people addicted is directly related to their simplicity. Most people are not able to get addicted to complex games because they don't have the brain capacity to play them.

He did forget it, most people don't even know how these probabilities and events really work. It is the classic gambler's fallacy that a majority of the population believes. If red came 30 times, the next one must be black!  ::)

That's a sign of a bad gambling strategy or a lack of control, nevertheless that is not directly related to the topic at hand.

It is not only you that prioritizes money after all. I think that the most of us are into it and we like to take game of chances because that's how we can multiply our money without having much effort. But there is a risk for that and not always that we'll be winners. When we loses a lot, this makes us very emotional and we want to take things into our hands even if we're not in control of our emotions. Once we start to notice that it's becoming too much for us, that is the only time that we take a moment and think of that if it's good to go for more or not.

I agree. If it's too much, then maybe it can make someone dull, but it doesn't mean they are stupid. It just needs to be sharpened again by staying away from gambling and maybe relaxing a bit to go back to reality.
Gambling should not be our life. There's a lot more than we can do. If we are spending way too much time just rolling the dice or playing slots, it's not that productive. I bet we have different hobbies that we want to do, and it's also not healthy just sitting all the time with the monitor in front of us. Radiation and no exercise at all.

I think op has forgotten that whatever thing that requires reasoning or calculation is a Brain work, even if dice is  something that does not  require making analysis or research yet we still do a proper checking and also calculate before rolling.

Whatever thing that you're doing with money don't easily work without the help of the Brian,  even most of the things we do without putting money still requires brain so I would say that whatever thing you're doing requires brain. Anything that has to do with gambling is not brainless.

Gambling is only for temporary entertainment, and it should be done as limited as possible, when people take it as a very important part of their life, then it gradually pushes people towards addiction. Spending too much time here leads people to harm in all aspects, financial loss, physical damage and mental balance can be lost, and because of this, people often cannot make the right decisions. So, one should not spend too much time on these, it should be taken only for a limited time and for temporary entertainment, give extra importance to good deeds in daily life, gambling will never bring positive situations but it only leads to more harm, so these things must be understood well.

And all of that is normal, first and foremost we are human, we feel and of course it hurts to lose more when we risk a lot because then we say that it would have been a thousand times better to have spent the money on other things, like going out, eating hamburgers or pizza, going out with the family, taking a walk, anything, than to have lost it in the casino, that is why it is important before playing to determine how much money we can lose, that is the trick.

Do you think slot gamblers play slot games without using their brain so you include slot as the example of brainless game?
I have no idea where did you get this idea or mindset or point of view but I have to say that it is a wrong mindset/idea because I'm sure most gamblers use their brain when it comes to gamble no matter what games they are playing.

I think he means the activity that doesn't need much of our efforts just like scrolling the feed or clicking the button irrespective of what the outcomes will be which we do in slots cause that is what all we can do. And I said it doesn't make one dump unless that is their activity for all day for every day.

Using a little bit of time for games can actually be healthy for the mind and body if someone spends thirty minutes after work or school just to relax it can bring positive outcomes like easing stress, refreshing focus, and even helping them detach from the heavy routine of daily tasks in this sense gambling or gaming can act as a temporary break a way of letting the brain cool down before picking up responsibilities again. The entire picture changes however when the time commitment stretches into hours instead of thirty minutes imagine six hours a day spent on rolling dice or spinning slots at that point it no longer works as refreshment it slowly eats into personal growth reduces creativity and drains energy in fact when too much time is invested in gambling the person may start missing out on opportunities to build skills or pursue hobbies that have long-term benefits the result is dullness not stupidity like you pointed out but simply the erosion of sharpness that comes from overindulgence.

On top of that there is the physical side to consider long hours sitting in front of a monitor or phone screen without breaks lead to eye strain poor posture and lack of exercise which then snowball into bigger health problems gambling in such conditions isn’t just a matter of mental harm it also chips away at physical well-being and when both mind and body take hits decision-making ability naturally weakens. The real danger lies in the addictive loop gambling is built to make people chase wins and bonuses and when they start treating it as a major part of their life the line between entertainment and obsession disappears financial losses stack up stress levels rise relationships get strained and the person can no longer balance their routine addiction strips away not only money but also clarity and peace of mind.

I don't see people making any brain effort when playing slots. What I see are people just clicking the start button and waiting for the game's outcome. There is no strategy that could at least allow someone to get many wins in slot games. When people play slots, they are just counting on luck, nothing more than that.

Even a 10-year-old child can play slots. Of course, they cannot be allowed to play in the casino and bet money. But if they were to play without involving money, I believe that the 10-year-old child would play without difficulty, because it is a game that the person does not need to think much about.

Not even 10 years old, I read this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5559435.0) post couple days ago, where op in question went outside leaving his device unattended, this 2-3 year old kid jumps on it, and empties his funds playing slots (those funds were mere 10 bucks but point stands).

That's a bit crazy if you think about it.

Kids are still developing their brains and if they end up playing games with gambling elements, they will end up with more chances of becoming addicted.

It's I guess by design, as casinos want to get their new generation clients as early as possible.

I don't think it's that deep here, kids just smash whatever they get at that age, this kid did same here, and I believe he must have liked seeing those slot animations though, because they are always eye catching.

Do you think anyone can spend an hour on games that are not engaging and fun? There must be something they are gaining out of the game that keeps them going and going, it is always money or fun.

I will also like to ask what type of games are brainless? Because to my own understanding there is no brainless game, we have action games, role playing games, strategy games and many more, none of them is brainless.

In the first place you need your brain to maneuver, someone who can't think can not play any game, either casino games or mobile games, and history says that gaming do improve the brain and lower depression in men, not the other way around.

I think it is the word brainless that has caused all the confusion here because I don't see the reason why people will refer dice and slots as stupid games in the first place but I guess the reason behind such statements like brainless or stupid is as a result of the nature of the games. Unlike the sports betting and poker games which will require you putting efforts in analyzing the strategies, slots do not need much efforts in decision making or in the strategy to use all you need to do is to just spin or roll then hope for luck to be on your side. Why I won't consider slots or roulette as brainless or stupid like people call it, you still need to use your brain to make decisions such as how much to stake, when to gamble and when to stop as well as how to manage your financial risks. So I won't necessarily refer to it as a brainless game or stupid game but rather see it as more of the style of the game which requires less of brain work and rely more of luck and chances to either win or lose as compared to sports betting which rely more on strategies than luck even though luck applies to it too.

Sometimes we do things just to fill some empty time and it doesn't need any deeper meaning than that. I see people playing candy crush, or tetris, or farmville, or any number of other games on their phone and pass no judgements on it - that's a little bit of joy that they get from their day. The only time it can become a problem is when you start pouring disproportionate amounts of time and/or money into it, because that can quickly spiral into an expensive addiction that could wipe out any money you've earned. As long as this does not become your primary interest and there is variety in the things you do, then I don't see why gambling occasionally would make you a dull person.

All ordinary activities or difficult categories often use thoughts in this case the brain certainly works. Brain performance is more than usual when it has been in the direction of financial, let alone Gambling There are no stories that play using passive patterns without thinking at all. Tired of being bored born from the habit if he likes challenges, of course he use strategy if not he chooses ordinary ones without the need to think long and just focus on visual entertainment and instant sensation.

Weaknesses of playing without brain if big betting is dangerous that is certain to be careless and the potential for great defeat can be used up faster capital than imagined so that it makes the brain can be dopamine shot constantly innate yes emotions without control.

Allow me to offer my opinion on your question.
I believe that's true. Most slot gamblers don't seem to use their brains to think. Furthermore, I believe winning in this type of slot gambling relies purely on luck, so no special skills are required to win or increase your chances of winning. And don't misunderstand, I'm saying that slot gambling doesn't require a high level of intelligence. However, when playing, they certainly use their brains and their own perceptions, even if it doesn't matter.

Yeah, I agree with this... some things are just past times...

But it's true, once you start pouring in a lot of resources into it, such as time or money, then it makes sense to have a deeper look into it.

That's why I prefer other forms of gambling and even betting. But slots are about relaxation, and nothing else. I've never managed to make much money, and when I see the huge multipliers guys get, I'm simply shocked. I've never hit anything truly big, and while I don't currently calculate my profits in various forms of gambling, I can definitely say that I lose money on slots. But I still play them because they allow me to relax.

Playing slots doesn't necessarily make you stupid, dumb, or brainless. It all depends on your purpose for playing slots and the underlying idea behind these games. If you have a difficult and stressful job and you play slots simply to clear your head and amuse yourself with the colorful images flashing by, that's one thing. Such games won't make you boring or stupid. After all, you have a critical (and I would even say, indulgent) attitude toward your games and don't allow them to devolve beyond relaxation. But if you take slots very seriously and view them as a way to make money, then there will be problems. But slots won't make you boring; quite the opposite. You'll likely be as frivolous as possible.

That means you haven't had your luck yet, my friend. I also prefer playing slots. In fact, slots are one of my favorite types of gambling. It's not about winning or losing, but because I find them very entertaining. Slots provide a lot of adrenaline and excitement. But when it comes to results, I rarely win, but that's okay because I understand the house edge is very high. In conclusion, I think as long as we enjoy the game and find it entertaining and don't make winning a priority, then continue. I'm sure when luck comes, we can win big like other gamblers.

Slots really are the purest form of luck based gambling there is no skill or strategy that can tilt the odds in your favor unlike poker or even sports betting where analysis and decision making matter with slots it is just pressing the spin button and waiting for whatever the rng decides that is why even a child could technically play the mechanics are simple and straightforward. Because of this slots should really be seen as entertainment not as a way to make steady profit the occasional big win or crazy multiplier that others show off is rare and it is designed to keep players excited but the house edge always ensures the casino comes out ahead in the long run if you go in expecting consistent profit frustration is guaranteed.

What makes slots appealing to many is exactly what you said the adrenaline the lights the sounds and the easy relaxation it offers for some players it is not about using their brain but about disconnecting for a while and enjoying the thrill the key is keeping it under control so it remains fun instead of becoming a drain. So the best way to approach slots is with the mindset that winning is a bonus not the goal if you budget what you are willing to spend treat it like paying for entertainment and do not chase losses then you can enjoy the excitement without the stress when luck eventually shows up and you land a big hit it feels rewarding but if it never comes you still had fun along the way.

You are correct, and there is no way to say that there is any game calling brainless game, as there must have use of a brain and thats why child/baby and/or mad people can't gambling, whether that is dice or something else. So, we can easily say that there is no game that is purely brainless game either that is dice or something else.

Brainless gambling games keep a person in the game and everything depends on his luck. In these games, no one can predict in any way what his result will be and whether he will win or not. Although all gambling games depend on luck, slot games and house edge games are completely unpredictable. What happens here has to be accepted as his own misfortune. And they never teach anyone anything, just thinking that he can win something big at any time. And gambling continues. Gradually he becomes dull. Because he only keeps losing money.

Quick answer to question of whether mind will make one into dull person due to always not thinking activities such as slot playing is yes, since brain follows principle use it or lose it. As brain is always changing, whatever you do it builds new links and keeps mind ready, but easy, over and over games of luck do not wake up problem solving areas of brain. These low effort routines just wake up good feeling system in your brain and by spending big part of your day in them you are not using other parts of your brain that are needed to think more deeply and thus you will find yourself less sharp and dull as time goes on.

If someone plays mindless games for a long time every day, then mental stimulation can gradually decrease. The games you mentioned usually require thinking and strategy. If this continues for a long time, the brain can become lazy, the interest in learning new things can decrease, and it can be difficult to maintain attention. If we want to keep the brain fresh, it is important to do some things like reading books, learning new things, talking to people around us, these things keep our mind and brain fresh. We should not do anything that makes our brain lazy, boring, less thoughtful and less interested. To keep the brain healthy, we need to do something that we can do with our minds and learn new things.

Most games especially video games are brainless. Take a game like Pacman, is it a strategy game like World of Warcraft, not its a simple game where you need to run away from the monsters and eat dots. The reason why its popular is because its easy to learn and you can play right away and its the point of the game.

Games like Dice or Slots are suppose to be easy because many new gamblers how no idea how to play Poker, Solitaire, Sports betting, etc. They just want something simple and there is nothing more simple than slots where you just pull the handle and thats it. Same with dice. You just select your odds, roll and hope for the best. It takes a few seconds to learn how to play and players will keep playing instead of getting frustrated because they cant figure it out and leave.

You are correct that the brainless game can't be predicted. Even there are several technique by applying that technique to be a winner which requires good brain but the matter won't work when there is a lot of loss on the same row. So basically, we must have to say that in the brainless game, there is no use of the brain, and even.
