Sounds can make you an irresponsible gambler if you let it

[Findingnemo]

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.

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 don't think we can turn off the animations but what we can do is skill the roll or spin just get to the results instantly something like a fast forward and jump straight into the results and the name can vary depends on the game and casino.

it's 2025, why not wear a headphone bro.

I said annoying in the context of keep hearing the same sound again and again in the short loop which can be addictive for many but not to me.

Many gamblers behave as if gambling is going to end in one day. They bet as if they will win that day. Due to such a situation, the gambler has to lose. If gambling could be accepted naturally by gamblers, this situation would not have happened. When someone cannot control themselves after hearing the sound of the slot machine, then their attitude is like that. They think that it is their last day to gamble.

You are right, in fact for some if it is the last game why do they stop playing in the casino for the rest of their lives, it does not attract them at all because their first experience goes badly, of course everything is an excuse, everything is something different from how others must see it, that is why on a personal level each person has a different perception of what the game is, sometimes the sounds, the things that are experienced are part of the game because that is what their Entertainment is based on.

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's interesting to think about this, because many humans are actually acting like animals these days, guided by instincts, while making poor use of intuition. People are conditioned by different ephemeral pleasures the virtual world offers to them. Pavlov's experiment was the beginning of behavioral studies inside Psychological field, and after that many others have come, presenting other and more complex concepts of conditioning.

However, humans are behaving on the most simplistic and animalistic ways that it truly looks to be happening an involution, instead of evolution. Pleasure is addicting, and the more people have of it, more they want, without feeling rewarded in the same way they used to feel with the previous dosages. I ask how much further it will still go.

The psychology of selling, Operant Conditioning that sounds like.  Positive reinforcement and so on, I think most people are aware of such things and attempts to influence them but all the same it does work to at least some extent.

   Some of our perception is subconscious either initially or after a time with habit so sure it works, its part of the game to some extent.   If we're too susceptible and lose context in our actions then it could easily lead to bad gameplay and losses perhaps but its not always going to be true, often I just get bored and I think somehow thats my safety from being too entertained perhaps.

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.

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 it.

You are a different person that's why you are not attracted by the sound, I am not also attracted by gambling sound but there are many gamblers that loose attention, loose discipline whenever the sound is been heard, they start shaking their legs, the brain starts to think how much could be made if $100 is been staked right now, their brain starts becoming wild and so they start gambling immediately.

Truly, gambling sound can cause major addictive arousal on some gamblers and less on some players too.

It's the curiosity of a gambler that made a gambler to feel that immediately it stake in gambling it will win, not knowing that gambling is all about taking of risk, whosoever that comes to participate on gambling should know that gambling is someone who can endure losses, because if you're a gambler you will definitely know that you will lose one day, so we need to understand that .

Anyone who carries in mind that if they gambles today they will win, that person end up losing in the gambling, we have to know that gambling is all about understanding, and we have to understand the process of it.

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.

The sounds that was added to the casino system to make it more fun and enjoyable I wonder why it will later be a problem to us,  playing casino games without the sound is like missing out the actual fun in it, however players should try and develop their mind as an adult that they are so as not to be affected by the sound, I know it can affect more on a player psychologically and otherwise but regardless we still need to act mature and never let it to be a problem to us and our gambling activities.

In fact, gamblers have quite a few reasons to play slots, because everyone really sees something of their own in this game and is looking for a sensation that will bring them pleasure.
For many, slots are like reading a book, only interactively, because there is a sense of travel, when literally around every turn there can be a huge prize. That is why slots are often designed as adventures.

One reason is that there are no rules in slots, very simply but yet powerful games that turn everyone into a addiction. And if by chance you can visit a land base casinos, you can see that slots is one of famous games as all slot machines could have been taken in a given night, pushing the casinos to make a lot of profits out of those slot machines. And every new slot games are totally different, with different themes and then the sounds of it, as what the OP is pointing out, to influence players.

So it's really that psychology of a slot games that make it's very attractive, with the visuals and the sounds on the background to attract us. Maybe some of us have hit high multiplier with slot machines that's why they keep on coming back and hoping that they can duplicate their success.

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.

I'm with you, one of the things I like the most is the sounds that the slots make, in some way they relax me, it's when I have my time for myself , that's what makes the difference, personally I don't have problems with noises , the people who are like that and that I know when they go to a doctor they are diagnosed as having Low levels of Asperger's, I'm not saying that's what happens to you , but those who have gone agree with it , of course they Have little social skills.

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've been able to understand this clearly,people get attracted to things they love and boosting it with some sounds ro drag the audiences of the player or users os one strategy they use to lure most gamblers. Yeah sometimes while growing up you can't resist the sounds that comes with the ice cream selling but as you get old it's not used to you but it's not compared to gambling knowing fully well it takes a lot to get rid of addiction when it comes, so it isn't about the game but oneself.
