Sounds can make you an irresponsible gambler if you let it

[Joy_learns_crypto]

Remember when you were young how happy you get when you hear the sound of the ice cream you want it badly, you cry, throw tantrums until your parents out caretaker gets it for you, even when you don't physically hear the sound of the van you think about it and wait for it badly. but as you mature you get wiser and more responsible that the sound of the ice cream van doesn't move you anymore, you Don't think about it that much, you get ice cream for fun and when you want to, you are now disciplined about it, but there are some adults who never overcome that and are still today influenced by the sound of the ice cream van.

Same way sounds can make someone an irresponsible gambler if they don't caution themselves. The Slot machine has lots of sounds that can get stuck in your mind especially the sound it makes when you win. There is this story about a man who is trying to be a responsible gambler on how he used to go to bed thinking about that winning sounds that comes from the slot machine, he just can't wait to be live facing the slot machine and anytime he is not facing the machine the sounds still lingers in his mind. The first step to his recovery was how he started to handle the slot machine sounds.

Gambling is not the Dark angel but is how the gambler acts. Give a kid an iPad and let them watch their favorite cartoons the let that sound affect them that they don't want to do anything else than watch it and it can affect their health, social behavior and interactions.

To be a disciplined gambler you should have a matured mind, see those sounds are things that makes the game fun, if possible get an ear plugs to block it out if you can't handle it, don't underestimate the power of sounds on your psychology.

Even If an irresponsible gambler stops gambling and still have a poorly matured mind they will easily find something else affecting them badly even more than gambling.

This article can show you the power of sounds and how it can affect a gambler.

Conclusion: my aim is to stand for disciplined and responsible gambling because I am also a gambler.

You mean not to hear the sound of the slot machine or the casino games? I enjoy gambling with the sounds most of the time that I am gambling. Even if my device is having low volume, I slightly increase the volume so that I can hear the sound of the games. That does not make I am an addict or  not disciplined but it is what I love. I can not be playing the games without the sound, I will not enjoy it. This is not about mean been kiddy or not. It is not about id.

Even if my device is having low volume, I slightly increase the volume so that I can hear the sound of the games. That does not make me an addict or undisciplined but it is what I love. I can not be playing the games without the sound, I will not enjoy it. This is not about mean been kiddy or not. It is not about id.

Great for you, but from what you tagged I wrote that you need to be a disciplined gambler and see those sounds as things that makes the game fun and that is what you are doing. But for those that are getting addicted to the sound and gambling irresponsible they can try blocking out the sound. You may not have this problem but people are really facing it.

Being an irresponsible gambler is not by maturity it is by experience. One is likely to become an irresponsible gambler if they just started gambling than one who has already being gambling for a long time and has seen the ins and outs of it.

Secondly, people respond to things in different ways, sound can trigger the gambling addicts as well as pictures, smells,  and memories. It works on people in different ways. What you think about before going to bed and while working will also play some role later.

Be intentional about your thoughts and if you think you are expereince some symptoms of early gambling addiction, talk to someone you know that can help.

I know what you mean. As people get older and become an adult, they have ego which can help them a lot. This makes them to be able to handle this id impulses. As a gambler, if someone is addicted to gambling, sounds from the game can affect the person and the person may not be able to handle it. I understand but I think this is more about addiction. The person should treat the addiction itself and not the id it is getting from the game sound alone. If gambling addiction is treated, that also will be automatically treated in the process.

One way of treating the addiction is by addressing the chief cause, I think you are underestimating the power of sounds on one’s psychology, go through the article on the link or do your own personal research. For anyone that can’t control how they perceive sound it can be a big problem for them. Again don’t see this from your lens but from others too.

[AbuBhakar]

It’s not about the sounds. It’s the item or games being represented by the sounds that’s why people are attracted on the sounds.

No matter how catchy the sound is if the product it represents is shit then no one will be attracted. Sounds is a good tool to catch someone attention but the game itself is the one that makes it fully effective to the target customer.

I don’t believe it will make you irresponsible rather just catch your attention but still it’s up to you if you will play or not.

[Tipstar]

This could be true for some group of people but not me. Not just sound but the graphics of slots too are attractive to another group of people who are there just for the graphics and animations. I was not tempted by sounds, ice cream or any foods in my lifetime, so maybe I'm not as tempted by slot sounds. Though gambling itself is more attractive as a way to increase my money instantly.
I have rarely played real slots and on the occasion I play online slots, most of the time the tab is muted. I find the sounds distracting and noisy. I do love good graphics but I'm more into fast paced gambling like dice and there too I play it mute.

According to the article, sounds can affect someone that is gambling to risk more money. But I see it as watching a movie or a football match without any sound. Or playing normal games like PS 5 at home without any sound. That can not be enjoyable if you disable the sound. Just finding way to adapt to the sound is better. As for me, the sound is not affecting me at all and I like it.

It is already clear that it is not for you, you already showed you are a disciplined gambler so it is not for you. You would not give a wheel chair to someone that is walking fine would you, this is for those who battles with sound addiction and one way they can recover is addressing their issues.


Let me be clear the post is not that everyone should play games without the sound, but those who even when not playing are stuck on the sound and find themselves gambling away irresponsibly.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

I am hearing the sounds of pragmatic play when you hit the sensational!
At the other side i can hear Five times, Ten times and the sound when 3 scatters from Super ACe of Jili.
Those are the sounds of hapiness for me when i am gambling.

But to be hones for that sounds you are talking, I dont usually put sounds when i play slot machines.
BUt i know their sounds and it plays on my head

Being a responsible gambler will not dpend on the sounds, it will dpened on you on how you will control yourself in doing cash in and to know when to stop.

Behavioural triggers are things or events that evoke someone to act in a given manner. Our sense organs can receive signals from happening around us, which can stimulate us to behave in a certain manner. This post has some truth in it. The smell of a cigarette can stimulate a smoker to desire the experience. Loud music can trigger a club addict to desire clubbing. Nude pictures can stimulate the urge for sex or pornography. I can conclude that the sound of slot machines or even sports games can trigger the urge for gambling.

It is noteworthy to state that this sound might not trigger the urge for gambling in all bettors. But if you observe that this sound can spur you to gamble even when you don't want to, then seek means to protect your eyes from it.

those jingling sound produced in the slots is not really cute, they are just designed in that manner as certain sounds may arouse the bettors & may increase the duration of the sessions and also give feel good vibes. you could chek it yourself just mute the audio you will find physiological peak plummets. Near-misses & losses-disguised-as-wins reuse win sound, uplift motiv & cover up that you are even over, hella tricky. yep, sounds can induce craving in a Pavlov-like manner for degenerates (no shade, we all did it). Hence, mute the audio, forget about those hyping sound effects and start setting limits- your bankroll (and brain) will appreciate it.

[joeperry]

I agree with this one, I remember when I first play a slot and you can get free rolls whenever you hit a 3 golds scatter bar (I'm playing Wild Bounty Showdown), and whenever you're about to hit the 3rd bar you will hear a certain slow motion effect that it could be it, and if it didn't hit all I think is that I will hit it the next time. So definitely there's an effect to the player's behavior regarding this sound effects.

Also, in the multiplier whenever you've hit more than 2 patterns, you'll hear it louder and louder which brings excitement to me and gets me being aggressively playing.

[Gaza13]

For me neither the ear plugs nor the sound of the game have any effect on my gambling whatsoever. In my opinion, gambling sounds are simply a decoration in a game, they're designed to create a fun and exciting atmosphere while playing. The most important thing in gambling is to have a clear strategy and strict limits, as well as an understanding of the risks involved. If this combination is executed well, we can prevent both overspending and loss of control.

To be a disciplined gambler you should have a matured mind, see those sounds are things that makes the game fun, if possible get an ear plugs to block it out if you can't handle it, don't underestimate the power of sounds on your psychology.

Can't you just turn off the sound? That's what I do when I play slots.

This could be true for some group of people but not me. Not just sound but the graphics of slots too are attractive to another group of people who are there just for the graphics and animations.

Several of you have said that it doesn't affect you, and that's probably true. But the sounds are designed down to the last detail to make people bet more. Obviously, they won't affect 100% of people, but they do affect a percentage of people that is profitable for the casinos.

On the other hand, you can't turn off the graphics, but you can turn off the sounds.

[Berry2d]

Gambling  require high level of concentration and  doesn't  accommodate distraction of which sounds at times is one of the major sources of distraction so eliminating sound plays a vital role in both responsible and irresponsible gambling. Although at times some gamblers uses sound as there own source of inspiration which helps them in predicting, analysing and calculating the outcome of games that's why they say one man food is another mans poison but it all depends on the individual involved, so knowing the reasons associated with irresponsible gambling should be identified and worked on because know gambler gambles with the primary aim of losing capital but to make profit.

[michellee]

You don't have to think or remember the sound. You will focus controlling yourself while gambling and discipline to avoid losing control. You don't want to lose money in gambling so you will pay attention to the losses you have had before. You will strict to your fund and limit the losses.

Having self-control is necessary. If you think you lack that, you should learn and practice it and gambling will not be a problem for you. When you can playing gambling occasionally, you should stick to that and will not break your rule. That will give you a chance to be responsible gamblers.

[Hewlet]

Even If an irresponsible gambler stops gambling and still have a poorly matured mind they will easily find something else affecting them badly even more than gambling.

the reason why they take people that are adicted to things to some sort of rehabilitation centre is because they want to issolate such a one from an environment that constantly reminds them of such an habit. for the case of gambling, it is not just the sound of gambling machine that can trigger the need to gamble. just mere hearing that someone has won a certain amount can also trigger you into gambling because generaly, you would also want to picture yourself wining also.

a shared level of determination and descipline is what makes one a responsible gambler. take determination and the descipline that makes a responsible gambler out and you will find yourself getting all in at every gambling trigger around you.

In gambling, casinos, supermarkets, and anywhere else, the sounds, colors, and arrangement of things are all designed for the consumer.
Most users don't pay attention to this, but if you're not careful or your mind isn't trained enough to perceive this, you'll realize you're caught in the system and spend more money than you planned!
An example? Go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water. The average customer will walk out with at least three things, two of which they don't need at that moment (their mind will say, "Since I'm here, I'll buy this bag of chips, I'll buy some candy for the kids, too"), and that's how a €1 bottle of water turns into €6 or €7.
Knowing these aspects and these studies helps a lot. You start to see things differently, and maybe next time you'll just buy a bottle of water.
