Sounds can make you an irresponsible gambler if you let it

[sunsilk]

Same way sounds can make someone an irresponsible gambler ...

Sounds indeed have a way of elevating the experience of gambling, not just gambling, even watching sports without the commentary and chants of supporters is a totally different experience. This is why games have a sound to improve the experience.

It has been part of the ways of how we gamble and it's a fact that without such, gambling isn't exciting anymore. And that's a good comparison with the sports commentary.

It's true that there is no life if there are no commentators or those people who tells the play by play even if they're already visible to the watchers.

The excitement is there when we hear those sounds and noise and that's why it is also playing our minds and emotions when we hear them.

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.

For me though it has no real effect, well some games like Fish Eye I really like the Big, Mega, Super and Epic win sounds though other than that game in almost all other games I play with the sound turned off. I don't like sounds though I like music very much and sometimes when I am winning I open a new tab in my browser and start a playlist of music or put it to Last.fm the best radio that there is in the internet or at least it used to be as I don't know if it is still the most popular one  . Gambling in the end it is all based on luck and most of these things we think have a psychological impact on us are mostly superstitions in my belief. I have a strong belief that if lady luck wants to favor you there is no one who can make you not win money and if she is not on your side no matter what you do you will lose money, this is my motto in gambling.

I usually mute the sounds while playing the games because it gets pretty annoying for a long session when you just hearing the same sound over and over again. And it is true to an extent that sounds can manipulate the brain and can urge for more but it's more common at young age, like kids and adolescents not for an adult but to gamble legally, you need to be an adult of age over 18+. What I will say is about the animations that does the same or even more effectively than sound but when you mute the effect can be negligible with just the animation.

I also started turning off the sound because I just want the game to pay less attention to me and make more informed decisions. Of course, animation does this too, but I also understand that it is necessary to limit yourself in time so as not to cause addiction to the game. Sometimes it is generally useful to think about leaving our brain clearer, and it is better to think through many things in advance, and not just spontaneously enter the game. Although I understand that most players just want to enjoy the game, but thoughtful thoughts in advance can reduce losses even for a simple player.

Absolutely, you've hit the nail on the head. If luck is not money your side no matter the type of strategy you employ you'll never get a win. Some persons  feel their winingbis tired is tired to several superstitious believe, I've  heard of someone talk about having sex makes him loss more in gamble, some persons think showing someone else your bet selection will attract  bad luck, but all these are just imaginary decisions they're not real or authentic. Well it would be difficult  for you to talk them out of their believe because they might have seen this repetition for more than 2 times and so they jump into conclusions that it's  a pattern lol funny as it is, most of us has something of this nature even if it's not a funny as the examples I gave.

The excitement is there when we hear those sounds and noise and that's why it is also playing our minds and emotions when we hear them.

Football might be a relevant example. Spectators enjoy the game more with the voice of the commentator. As a commentator, Peter Drury is one of the best in my opinion. He manages to convey every moment in a unique way, sometimes even creating unforgettable narratives. This certainly also increases everyone interest.

Teams playing in front of their own fans usually perform more dominantly, and the players are more motivated to win the match. I think this is another example of how influential the sound of the fans can be, and perhaps certain sounds can also be addictive. It seems that almost every game in a casino has its own distinctive sound.

And do you know that game animations can be turned off as well, most especially slot games since I don't know or I am not so very sure if this feature exist on other games like casino and table games alike.

I also like to turn off music or sound when ever I am gambling because for me, the sounds create distractions, gambling in a noisy environment simply means that one will have to be gambling with lack of attention to the game and the inability to think properly and reason  logically to atleast, better the gambler's chances of wining at the end.

Other disadvantage also is that gambling with sound turned on will make the device battery to run out faster than they should.

I think every sport is relevant on this having the commentators every match that we have. And in boxing, we've got commentators too but it's different with every start of it during the introduction with Michael Buffer.

Commentators and announcers have been there to add some touch and flavor to the sports that we used to watch.

Maybe, the idea from the casinos have also put that into mind so that every gambler will be excited every time they gamble. There's an reactive effect to our minds every time we're in the casino.

We talk about the sounds from casino games and how it distracts the gambler's attention from even realizing that they've lost so much already and that's true.. little things like that usually adds up; we're talking about a cool interface and a attractive colour choice, accessibility at ease etc.

As crazy as it sounds, people extend their stay on a casino site for one of such reasons, but i doubt that it can become an uncontrollable feature to look past, especially since you could just put the sound out and stay with the budget.

Other disadvantage also is that gambling with sound turned on will make the device battery to run out faster than they should.

Enhhh, that's out of the topic... Low batteries don't promote irresponsible gambling, or does it?

It is on the gambler himself how he will let his games control his life. As we put it this way, it is the individual himself who can truly direct himself and lead his life. So it is not the games or the casino that will dictate his path, it is still the person himself who can curve his path. So if you want to make your life a mess, try following your desires and you will know where it will head you to. Most gamblers are in a mess right now, because they let themselves to fall in the rabbit hole. And it is too late to get out as they are usually already in deep debt.

To play in any casino you need to be responsible, if we are not responsible with our money and bet in a casino we will spend it all and our life will become very ugly, games of chance are not dark angels or a source of addiction, we decide that ourselves in the moment of being in the casino, what happens to many players is that they like the casino so much that the sounds of some games they like so much that they combine it with their daily life and it is not good, that causes anxiety and addiction , that is why I agree that you should be responsible.

It is easy to say to be responsible with your games. But to make sure you keep yourself at that mindset, always pause and check yourself. Assess what's going on and alter your lifestyle if you think you are already beyond your boundaries. It is quite easy to change if you are still in control of yourself.

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.

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.

You are right, this is not about the sound anymore but it’s all about addiction. Although I have to say sound sometimes can also trigger your addiction, but there is always a purpose why a sound is there, to make the game more interesting and engaging. Now, if you don’t appreciate the sound, or you’re getting annoyed from it, while you can control the volume, but other than that, there’s already a big problem on you as a gambler, and you just simply put your blame onto the sound of the game.

I think it depends on the games. If the sounds annoying, I also do the same way, I will mute it. But if the sounds not really annoying, I sometimes prefer to lower the volume. Also, we can also adjust the time, whether it is night or day. In the night, I prefer to mute the sounds because it can easily disturb others.

Yep, the sounds or animation can influence the kids or underage. But for matured people, I think it won't bring significant impact. As matured people, we prefer to focus on the chance for winning the games or how enjoy playing the games are.

I think it is also normal that each has his own approach to adapting the game to his needs. Others like a low volume environment as they have more control over it as compared to high volume. These can be regarded as minor decisions that make a huge difference in the way the user games. What really matters is that we position ourselves right, such as playing at the appropriate time or at a place where we will not bother other people. By so doing we will be in a position to be comfortable without being destructive in the environment.

As you said, turning off any sound it's pretty easy and doable in an online casino, but in a physical sounds matter a lot and you can't turn them off. I mean that different strategies are applied depending on which kind of casino we are talking about. All the casinos want players to keep coming, but online casinos don't put much effort into the sound. I always close the sound when I'm playing slots, and I put on the music that I like.

As I was reading this I was thinking how people should just tune out the sound with some headphones and they would be good but then you did mention that. I never thought about how the sounds can make you want to gamble, they become addictive even in and of itself and that goes deep deep into a rabit hole on the psychology of gambling im sure there are so many other cues that lead people to gamble and other addictive habits

So we should know what will make us comfortable when playing gambling. If we don't want to hear any sounds, we can reduce or mute the sound so we will feel peace. Some gamblers feel that music, any music that they can hear can give more challenge or experience in gambling. That makes them feel good and even if they lose, the loss will not interfere with their feelings. That is why before we playing gambling, we should prepare everything we want, including the funds, the situations, and the mood so we can enjoy our time in gambling. It will waste our time if we can not enjoy our gambling time and also waste our money.

OP, maybe you know the term "Pavlov's dog"? The characters you described behave exactly like Pavlov's dogs. A dog is governed by instincts, but a human differs from animals by having a mind that God has given him in order for man to use it... If a person's behavior is guided by instincts, the question arises about his mental state. And there is nothing new in this article. Pavlov discovered classical conditioning probably 130 years ago...

It is not a fact that the author of the topic knows this concept well, but 100% of casinos know it more than perfectly, because behavioral factors are very easy to instill with the help of effects and, of course, sounds that we are talking about in this topic.
In general, the impact of sound on our thinking is very easily proven by the fact that we like to listen to musical themes from games or also musical themes from films. Although in essence it is just a set of sounds, but we associate it so strongly with the artistic performance that we experienced that we literally see it again before our eyes.

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.

Although you have a point but this doesn't apply to everyone, there are people that are experienced and been gambling for a long time but they still make certain mistakes that a beginner would make...sometimes it's not even a matter of experience but it's lack of self control and greed..But like you said, it's possible to seek help when you detect gambling addiction at an early stage, when it gets used to you it would be a problem.

Yes, but over time, if we listen to the same song from a computer game, it begins to lose its meaning and becomes again just an ordinary song not related to the events and experiences that we once experienced in this computer game.
But in any case, if someone wants to reduce their perception of slots, then they should turn off the sound in the gambling game, and look for the "skip animations" button or speed them up. I think I saw such an option in slots once.
