Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ?

[coinerer]

It's the games in the traditional casinos that are more addicting because a player has more interaction with real people. You could talk to fellow gamblers who can eventually become your friends. I think it's the interaction with people that makes gamblers come back and you get to share experiences on table games.

The online casino games will be the second since you are offered unlimited rewards, and you can win big up to the jackpot especially the slot. But even in offline casinos, the slot is already addictive.

Yes casino game is more addictive Because here big winning is possible with small bet. so gamblers always attract in casilo game. another reason for addiction in casino game is quick result. in the sportsbet you have to wait till end the match for get winning or lossing status. that's why casino game has more fun and addiction. specially orginal game and slots are much addictive. so in all sector of gambling you have to control yourself to avoid addiction

Reading about gambling addiction I don't think it's a new topic, but fitting to be in here, I just want to ask: between casino gambling, in-house gambling, and one-on-one gambling with physical players available on the table, which among these is more likely to turn someone into a gambling addict if the person doesn't have self-control in all his gambling activities?

I humbly submit that people who are introduced to the new online gambling platform are the ones who are prone to addiction.

Online gambling compared to other types of gambling, like you mentioned, has one (1) distinguishable element that separates it from everything- it is the element of convenience. This factor makes it possible for a person to gamble anywhere and anytime at their convenience. They do not need to enter physical casinos to gamble and they can also do it in a push of a button on their mobile devices.

Now are days I see much or all this in house gamblers becoming addicted and acting weird over gambling results, and walking down into some betting shop, you will see most of those gamblers spending their whole day in the gambling shop, which made me have the above question. I know any form of gambling can produce gambling addicts, but among all, there is one that is most common, which is what I want to hear from others.

I recently visited physical casinos due to some theatres being held at their buildings and I have noticed that majority of the players that visited were on the age bracket of 50-80 years old. I have noticed that mostly senior citizens gamble on these physical casinos.

I do think that being technological literate is a factor on this given that most people who are knowledgeable on the internet gamble on their mobile devices.

Everyone has their own chance of turning someone into a gambler who is addicted to gambling, especially if that person does not have good self-control while gambling. He will just continue gambling without limits because he has found pleasure in gambling and does not remember when he should stop gambling. Playing gambling requires self-control so someone who wants to gamble should already know how to treat gambling. If you can control yourself well and are not easily tempted to gamble longer than usual, you will not become someone who will become addicted to gambling because you can take care of yourself while gambling. Most people will lose self-control after gambling for some time and they will no longer remember their limits.

In these days where online gambling is available and keeps growing, more people get addicted to it rather than the usual casino. Indeed, the new generations have been comfortable playing at home, and aside from that, the easy accessibility which you don't need to travel anymore. But I see the consequences are huge knowing that even young age are already gambling. More and more gamblers become addicted as they continue knowing that they can play anytime and anywhere as long as they internet. Until this was not regulated by the government, many people couldn't control its temptation because some influencers were also advertising them.

Well I also see the same part here, now the times are very developed and everything is sophisticated, and of course for problems in the world of gambling as you say that people no longer need to go to a physical casino which of course requires the intention to go and also requires travel costs such as fuel and take the right time in the midst of their busy activities, with the development of increasingly modern times it is clear that everything is easier to do, not only online-based casinos but also several other things such as platforms that make it easier for people to shop easily and quickly have sprung up and we are familiar with it.

Of course this situation is the cause of more gamblers entering and being trapped in the addiction zone because they can come whenever they want by just using the gadget they have which is of course connected to the internet network, running out of budget is not a problem because they have plenty of time to go to the ATM machine to deposit the fiat money they have, of course this freedom and convenience is what I think is the main cause of their addiction, but on the other hand not entirely too, because obviously for some people who still have the right point of view about gambling then I think they will not be that easy to get stuck in the addiction cycle, so maybe with all the conveniences that exist in online casinos it is only an indication and possibility for some people to enter the addiction zone.

Online casinos produce a high number of addicted players compared to physical casino, yes. Because of the restrictive measures put aside for the gambling age and who should gamble or not, then the time frame also helps players to moderate how they gamble. Moving from one location to gamble, helps the brain to remember when the time is late for the gambler to go home and sleep. The online setting doesn't have some of these restrictions available, anybody can gamble whenever they want and wouldn't bother about time. Even the younger players who are below eighteen sometimes boycott the rule by using their elder sibling's document as KYC. The naive nature of younger gamblers to make quick money wouldn't allow them the privilege to control themselves, as they'll be chasing big wins. Some of them go for loans, and don't know how they do it, but most news channels in Australia prove it right about young teenagers gambling with loans and putting themselves into big trouble that could be risking their physical or mental health.

Moreover, the use of the Internet is spreading too fast amongst teenagers and they can't go a day without visiting their gadgets. Once they discover a good gambling platform online, they won't avoid the site for a single day. In the long run, the players may run out of money, but as you said, Dewi Aries, the lack of money can only help them stop for the moment, yet it changes nothing. They'll still wager more once money is allocated or sent to them by their parents. Offline casinos also have addicted players, but it's somehow regulated for most players who don't feel comfortable with being addicted. They can talk to fellow gambling folk about their problem gambling and could get help or recommendations on how to deal with it. The online players don't have this opportunity, they only suffer in silence and have nobody to run to for help. Instead, when with friends or loved ones, they try to cover it up and claim everything is alright with them.

Slot game I guess because it’s a very quick game now that it has turbo mode and bonus buy to easily enter the bonus round. Next to slot I guess is card game like blackjack. This is the most common game I watch on gambling streamer whenever they are streaming.

They play first slot games then later on play Blackjack to recover their losses from slot games. Sports betting is probably the next addictive game but most pf the time people is just placing high stake bets and not totally on the number of bets so I don’t consider it as an addiction but rather greediness.

Partially yes because although turbo mode has been a feature in slot games for a long time recently with the purchase of free spins, many people have started to lose more money in such games. As I mentioned in my previous comment it isn't right to accept a single option as an answer but when we interpret it by generalizing we can see that it is possible. Also, I would like to point out that many of the streamers I follow are gambling and as you mentioned while streaming this I see that slot games are more preferred.

I think that the fact that such people generally lose money primarily in slot games and then try to regain their losses with other gambling games is actually a situation triggered by gambling addiction. Because it would be a bit wrong for someone who gambles in this way to state that he/she is addicted to gambling only because of slot games. In other words, it wouldn't be correct to state that a person is addicted to gambling regardless of the game and that he/she is addicted to a single gambling game especially because he/she prefers several gambling games.

It seems like this has become a real fact that it is true that since the emergence of online-based casinos now people who are involved and who are addicted are increasing, as I said earlier that ease of access is one of the advantages that of course will be chosen by most people rather than having to go to a physical casino which is certainly quite complicated. You are right, there is a significant difference in terms of time between these two casinos, if you are involved in online casinos then obviously you can gamble whenever you want until your money runs out maybe, while in physical casinos you cannot fully gamble because they have opening hours and closing hours so when the time is too late most likely they will close all access in the casino which means it shows the completion of the gambling session that day and continue tomorrow.

Another thing is that it is clear that online casinos have real freedom which does not recognize age, as you said minors can also get involved by submitting  their brother's or sister's personal data as a KYC requirement to get involved in gambling. On the other hand, this is what is worried about and what should be of full attention to all parents, because the name of minors they absolutely do not think about any risks, they  will only continue to play to make money quickly by aggressive means. If they run out of money then it is very likely that they will look for any means as an alternative such as borrowing from some services, so online casinos certainly have many worse impacts.

I also see a lot of people currently streaming, they are gambling because they also know that slot gambling is currently popular among the public, therefore they indirectly make money from the live streaming they do, because there are definitely lots of people who watch it. they do gambling by live streaming. This makes many people familiar with online slot gambling. So it's not surprising that online slot gambling is more popular with everyone.

That's right, those who have lost will return to deposit their money back on the site to gamble again with the aim of chasing wins and recovering losses that have occurred, but this will actually trigger a gambling addiction which is certainly difficult to cure if they are already addicted. gambling, because those who continue gambling without thinking about the big risks that will occur, and of course they will experience losses, especially financially. Many people are aware of online slot gambling and have become addicted to it, but they don't realize that what they are doing can cause them to experience big losses.

And to add, in sports betting most games take place on weekends and even when the weekend arrives it is possible that there is no good game to place a bet on and this means that a sports bettor spends little time on the sports betting site , in this part it is very advantageous because we will hardly see many sports bettors being addicted to gambling, while people who play poker, slot games spend a lot of time a day playing and play every day. That's why we see many people addicted to gambling being people who play a lot of poker and slots games and other casino games that depend on luck.

and when you look at which games people lose the most money, in my opinion it's slots and other games that depend on luck. That's funny, because there are many people who when they hit a big multiplier they immediately post it on the forums, but when you look at the amount of money they put into the game and what they won, the person doesn't even need to ask them if they have been making a profit or a loss since. who started playing, because the answer will be that they are in losses, even that big win does not cover the losses, but people who are good at poker manage to win a lot and stop playing while they left with a profit

We all know that before the advent of online games, traditional base casinos are really taking over and raking billions of dollars annually. Yeah, the ambience, and environment and then free perks that they offer. Too good to be true to pass and that's why we wanted to go and play on slot machines on those casinos.

The online casino games will be the second since you are offered unlimited rewards, and you can win big up to the jackpot especially the slot. But even in offline casinos, the slot is already addictive.

But now, we have online games, so everyone is exposed even those who didn't think that they are going to fall as an addict. That is the scary part though, and with that, I would say that online games right now could have more addicts because of the easy access to everyone.

A long time ago, many parents didn't like these games as they were struggling to control their kids by allowing time to them. But this time, these kids have grown up and they've got more money for the games that they want and they can buy as many as they can and the same goes with gambling. Everyone can gamble as long as they have money on their bankrolls.

I agree that games are more addicting as it stakes you nothing but only your time. But there's no difference on it when you allot a lot of time on it that shall affect you with all of the things that you do. So, games or gambling games or anything that's enjoyable. Putting a lot of time and money on it can make you addicted because even if you want to be one in control, sometimes you may not notice it that you're already one of them.

If i can understand the exact point being made here, you're saying that the way we also contributed to gambling addiction from our own individuals influence upon other gamblers matters alot, there's a way some gamblers will always want to make their gambling experience through the other people's influence on how they are gambling and how we don't even know or care about if others are really watching us from what we do while gambling.

In my opinion, what is most addictive to gamblers are casino games, especially slot machines. In slot machine games we can get very large multipliers, this raises hopes so that many gamblers hope to get big luck and get maxwin. However, we need to know that the higher the multiplier have, the more difficult it will be to get it. For example, a no-limit provider will be more difficult than a PP provider because the no-limit slot machine multiplier is higher than the PP multiplier

Everyone can gamble as long as they have money on their bankrolls.

I'm a bit more optimistic about that, I think the majority of people who grew up with access to video games developed some control mechanisms to prevent them from falling too deep into playing. They had no choice really, they had all the games available but also had other responsibilities and probably noticed first-hand all the negative sides of spending too much time playing.
Of course there are plenty of people who failed to develop enough self-control to keep healthy limits. Also, the gaming/gambling industries are known to use psychologists to produce games that are as addictive as possible, which is an ugly side of this business and it makes it harder to fight back.

Being an influence on someone means alot and just like you said,  some addicts don't know how to carry themselves and can easily expose they gambling act outside and putting it in some other person face most especially under age kids,  alot of times,  I have seen some gambler who organise parties anytime they win a big amount from gambling,  this is most likely that some of them have kids who are watching them and u wonder what kind of message the kids will be getting from them as parents.

So for sure our life also speaks to others and we may never know who are actions influences both known and unknown,  we all have to figure things out along the way.

[tbterryboy]

From what I have observed so far in gambling people are attracted more to the simpler mechanics of the game which they think they can easily win or profit. Let's say slots, you would just need to pull the lever or push the button and wait to win, plus the fact that you can play slots on your own without any other player involved. The easier the gambling game, the easier the people to bet on anything you could say that to any type of gambling but still, they differ on the mechanics and the rules. Just imagine if you are playing poker games, you could still have to think of techniques and methods for you to win so people tend to be tired of thinking all the time, they could even quit by just simply having a wrong call in a round.

Although they are the most played and liked gambling games in the world, slots can only be profitable for people who are extremely lucky because it's not always easy to win money from a slot machine since you will usually lose more than you might win. If you do 200 spins, you will barely get a big win enough to cover the overall cost of your 200 bets and still leave something for you which is what we can call net profit, but if you are winning $50 in a big win and spending $70 on the spins, you're in loss.

However, people love playing slot games because they are fun in general, the graphics, the gameplay, and sometimes you manage to hit some big wins which are lucrative without a doubt, and those big wins are the reason why a person would get hooked up with the game as they keep thinking about it later on.

Addiction can vary depending on the individual and certain factors in each type of gambling. Gambling at home can have a risk of addiction due to easier availability, especially with access to online gambling. This convenience can make a person more susceptible to excessive gambling because it can be accessed at any time from the comfort of home.

On the other hand, casinos often offer a more intense gambling experience with an exciting atmosphere and strong visual stimulation. This can make a person trapped in an environment that triggers the desire to continue gambling. In some cases, gambling in casinos can also be more controlled due to the time or financial constraints it brings.

However, what is important to remember is that gambling addiction is more about psychological and individual factors than the gambling venue itself. Many factors influence addiction, including mental state, drive to win, environment, and other personal factors.

Yes, there will be gamblers who pay attention to our way of gambling and apply it to themselves because they feel there is a match between what we use and what they are looking for. This is a normal thing to happen, especially if we see people who use social media to interact with other people. There we will see how to treat gambling and from there we can also learn how to use gambling well and just as entertainment.

They can use gambling as a way to make money but we don't need to follow suit. We only take what we need from them and leave what we don't. So we try not to get addicted to gambling and only use what we think is necessary so that we can really use gambling as entertainment.

I don't think there is a "specific" type of gambling that's more addictive than the other. It really goes down to personal preferences and what triggers the gambling urge in an individual. But just like a drug addict might not be picky about their substance of choice, a gambling addict could be drawn to any form of gambling that's accessible to them. However, yeah, there are some types of gambling that are designed to be particularly "enticing". Look at the Slot machines. They often feature captivating sounds/music, and animations that create an exciting atmosphere for the gamblers. They also give players the illusion of "near-wins" and make them feel like they're just close to winning a big jackpot, encouraging them to keep playing.

I think all gambling can be addictive, it's always undeniable, we have to understand that this is a business for casinos and therefore I think all casinos will apply algorithms that are not much different, or I mean algorithms with potential addiction possibilities. But yes that's very true buddy for the problem of whether they will be addicted or it really depends on how the approach is taken by the gamblers, in my opinion if they come with unsolicited intentions such as wanting to earn then obviously they are likely to end up addicted, but the fact is that there are some who are addicted and some who are not addicted in the sense that they stay safe, and that means there are two different character approaches that cause different impacts.

As for people who are not addicted I believe they come with the right goals and understanding so they can always set limits because they know the potential adverse effects of addiction, and vice versa as I said above there are also those who come with the wrong approach and understanding that is not recommended so of course simply this all depends on the person. I agree to that, earlier I said that actually all gambling also has the potential for addiction but the more likely and the greater potential is slot machines, you have said something very interesting about this game and I believe it because many lately have suffered from the adverse effects of this type of gambling including some of my friends.

Gambling at home can have a risk of addiction due to easier availability, especially with access to online gambling. This convenience can make a person more susceptible to excessive gambling because it can be accessed at any time from the comfort of home.

This can not be dispute because online or home gambling can actually be even more addictive than gambling in person in the casino centers. It's not just about the convenience of online gambling that can be problematic but also the combination of convenience and the unique features of online gambling which includes faster funding and faster play and more immersive experiences.

On the other hand, casinos often offer a more intense gambling experience with an exciting atmosphere and strong visual stimulation. This can make a person trapped in an environment that triggers the desire to continue gambling. In some cases, gambling in casinos can also be more controlled due to the time or financial constraints it brings.

The gambling environment can definitely be a major factor in gambling addiction because casinos especially, are designed to be exciting and simulating with lots of bright and shiny lights, sounds and amazing colors. This will definitely trigger a person's brain to keep playing even when you wish to stop and moreover it is associated with pleasure and reward. This type of atmosphere can make people feel detached from reality and make it easier to keep gambling without realizing the consequences attached to it.
