I see this the other way around, I see slot as a gambling type that let gamblers to know they have only luck to win, because of these, they can use just low amount of money for it. Sport gambling will only deceive gamblers, they will think they can analyse and bet and win the bet, but if they play often, they will only noticed that gambling is gambling and no difference. I do not see the article helping at all because anyone can become addicted in any type of gambling, not only slot.
Did you see anywhere in the article that only slots are addictive? I never saw anything denying other gambling games being addictive. Even the title itself indirectly implies that not only slots game is addictive. The article is implying and is backed by research and survey that slot game is
more likely to cause gambling problems. Take note of more likely, it does not mean "only".
Closing this thread now since I think we had enough response and interaction here. Further discussion will only lead to spam. Thank you very much for all the inputs.
