Is It An Easy Transition From Gamer To Gambler In Casino.

[Saisher]

I always consider gaming as gambling I have seen many gamblers spend a lot of money for their character and to level up their account for future profit, like selling their stuff and their character.

If you're a gamer or someone is a gamer and would like to try to gamble in online casinos will it become an easy transition as all the elements of gambling are present when you're a gamer, or does a gamer have to start all over again, and have a different motivation and mindset?

Which game he would transition to online games though, that is the question, if the individual is like looking for slot games or anything that doesn't need any skills at all so it will be very smooth transition.

And as you have said, the elements might be also present in both world, competition and the end result of it all - win and rewards.

With that said, might be easier shift in terms of mindset, game rules and motivation.

In this way, gamers are very different from gamblers. Gambling is also beyond just gaming, it can extend to real life sport events. If not gone beyond interactive games like video games and skilled card games, not playing with money makes it very different. But being a gamer makes casino games very easy if such a person want to start gambling on casino sites, but he has to learn the rules of gambling because being an expert in gaming does not mean the person is an expert in gambling. Nobody is an expect if compared to the sites that are providing the gambling services.

It's easy, you don't have to start all over it. Being a gamer, you understand logic already that you can see in the casinos, so, don't stop yourself if you want to try to gamble, just do it.
There's no difference of motivation and mindset from being a gamer and a gambler, all you have to think is the same and that's to become stronger and for you to win, none other than that.

It's an easy transition compared to a first-timer in casinos, I once read a thread here about a newbie finding the best strategy of doubling up in a dice game or a martingale strategy, only to find out that martingale is a big trap as the house edge always makes them win, gamers already have ideas on what to expect from casinos, they know the basic applies here but that does not mean that a good gamer will become a lucky gambler, the factor of winning is very much different in gambling then in gaming.

I am not a full-time gamer but I have a lot of friends who are full fledge gamers and they have an easy transition from being a gamer to gamblers, from creating an account to managing their dashboards, if ever they encounter issues and problems they just check Youtube and reviews to check, just like what they do while they are on their gaming dashboard, the motivation, and mindset they told me are all the same, the level of excitement is also the same, you are paid to be entertained on both sites.

Hmm, I think it's easy in terms of games? Most famous games right now are rather puzzle-oriented story games and action, fast-paced games so I don't think they'd have a hard time playing casino games. Heck, they might even bore themselves to death at some point if they don't really enjoy gambling that much. Imo what differentiates a gambler from a gamer is that gaming directly gives you that enjoyment experience through games, while gambling is enjoying the game together with the thrill of winning more money (mostly the latter though tbf).

Gambling machines have basically a similar design than games. You want to keep the person entertained there as much as possible, and also you want the person to come back again, so you get some addiction design thrown in.

Similar things that work in game design work in gambling apps, so that's why they might seem like the same thing, or very closely related. The main difference is that at least in gaming you go back to it by trying to have fun(although lately this has changed a bit with companies trying to up-sell everything in games), whereas in gambling you go back to try to win money(or recover what you've already lost).

[alegotardo]

I believe that both are similar in many ways, but they are things that need to be very well divided.
gambling is made to lose money playing, a game was made to invest money in order to evolve your items/characters to get more advantage and not more money or profit.
As much as many players have as their main objective to evolve to sell cheaper, I believe that this is not the essence of this type of game and should never be confused with gambling.

I don't think it would be an easy transition. A gamer is not a gambler. A gamer plays games. He doesn't play with his hard-earned money. A gamer in your description is playing hard in order to make money. And there's not a high risk with it. He just needs to level up and once reaching a certain level, he could just sell his account with a profit. That's for as long as there are buyers. That's not what's gambling in casino is all about. Gambling right from the start means risking your money. There's no guarantee whatsoever that there will be profit in the end. Most likely, there will instead be losses.

For me it's just the same, if you play games and you have the competitiveness in you then when you play or gamble, you will almost wanted to win. Of course, the difference is that most probably gamers doesn't involved money, there are are also a lot games right now that is being played online and there are bets if I'm not mistaken. So there is an easy transition, just a question whether what will they choose, stick to gaming or just go and play online games and go with big money.

Even in terms of this, it is far from the same. A gamer plays to win. A gambler plays to win. But a gamer plays with nothing else but his skills and whatever his account or character reached in the game. In casino gambling, a player normally has no control whatsoever as to how the game ends. A gamer could turn down a challenge if the opponent is of a very high level and the match isn't fair. In gambling, the match will always be unfair because the house will always have the advantage or the upper hand. The house is always at an advantageous position to win. That's not the case in gaming.

Gamers also are exposed to gambling as they also watch esports.

Gamers are risk takers too just like Gamblers. It's not very unusual to see gamers turn to gamblers, especially with the influence of new technology and peers. It's just like Basketball stars who become a gambler in the casino, I'm sure the basketball players are also betting within the team.

Do you also know that you can't be a gambler without being a gamer?
Yes!
This is very possible, all gamblers are gamers and it's from gaming the interest and love to gamble begins to arose from by which he or she is constantly winning in every game and in any predictions he made between players. Although most people must not be a gamer to have interest in gambling, naturally some persons love gambling where they could do it for fun and also make new friends around.

So it's to gaming, most people do go to play station to compete with their fellow gamers to know if they are improving or not at that point the gamblers might used such opportunities to place a bet among the two gamer which they might not know some people over there have already placed a bet upon their gaming.

[traderethereum]

I think it must be different because the motivation and mindset of a person must also be different.
Gamers who are used to playing games and start trying to play gambling in casinos may find it strange because there is a money factor at stake in the gambling game.
And it will be different from what they are used to but if those gamers play Esports, it might not take long to get used to it.
But someone who plays games and plays gambling can become addicted because both can make someone addicted to playing them.

I am not so sure about this one, in my opinion gambling is different from most times of gaming. It depends on which kind of games you play and enjoy. Let's say you enjoy sport games like Fifa or NBA, there is no character or items progression than you could use to sell in the future and make a profit. Same goes for non main stream shooters. The real value is in big games like Dota, CSGO, etc. with millions of active players. I also think that most of the gamers are not looking for ways to make profits out of gaming and don't want to sell their accounts. If you spend a long time grinding and leveling your account up it becomes personal and in terms of profit it mostly not worth it compared to the hundreds of hours you put into the account. Most games need you to have good reflexes, they are not about evaluating risks like in gambling and have a good stomach to endure big down swings.

IMO, i don't think there's much profit in selling stuff and including your character after a long time of grinding in an online game. I myself was an MMORPG gamer. I spend like $200 every month just to sustain whatever needs necessary to level up my character. The internet and electricity consumption and expenses is not included of course. After many months I decided to sell my character and you know how much it cost? Just around $500-$600.
Most stuff in an online game you sold for money might never be enough to cover your monthly expenses.
Expensive stuff usually requires expensive premium items to boost your character.
Therefore, I cannot consider gaming as gambling.
In gambling your only asset is your money, once it's gone you'll never take them back and make money out if it again.
Also, gambling and gaming as it's own level of excitement and enjoyment when you're playing.

Regular gamers like anyone is doing it for fun can be exposed to gambling as well because both are similar in many aspects but I am not convinced that their gaming urge can be satisfied with traditional casino games like dice, slots, roulette,etc since its cery simple and people attracted towards this games are more looking to try their luck and get the results whereas gamers keep themselves into the games like more intensive real world like experience, levelling up,etc so it really depends on every individual and what is their purpose of playing.

[Pierre 2]

I don't agree that gaming and gambling are similar. Gaming may have some gambling-like situations but eventually its nearly completely about problem solving. Gambling on other other hand is more like you already has multiple answers to a problem but you are trying to pick best one to reach best outcome. Gamers can indeed turn into gamblers but it takes bit of different type of skills to develop.

I think not necessarily as I am still a gamer and I was a gamer since an young age,when I was 5 I was playing NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) games at that time which were popular then I transitioned to any other system until to PC game which I still play this days.However the fact that I am also a gambler does not come from the fact that I was and am a gamer,I like to gamble for entertainment purposes which can become even dangerous when we lose money and that is why I gamble in the first place.I never spent money on leveling up or building up my character,I preferred to do it for free although it would take longer,always for free,so based on my experience there is no real co relation between these.
