Does playing brainless gambling games makes one dull?

[libert19]

It's said about brain that, "use it or lose it" — now, question being, do you think if person plays brainless gambling games such as slots, dice for major part of his/her daily routine, will it make him/her dull?

Edit: "brainless" as in playing gambling games that does not require using brain, I thought it was clear especially given examples.

Brainless means something stupid or foolish. That is enough to let you know that slots, dices and roulettes are not brainless (stupid or foolish) games.

What you can regard them as are games that requires no skills. Something fun may not require skills. Even most things that are fun do no require skills.

Does playing gambling games that require no skills make one dull? No.

these games have a random outputs. Each time people talks about "strategy" it makes me smile or wondering if they are really saying that or even if they understand how gambling works. There are yes some strategies for money management in gambling but not for "winning more".
Once you start to search for this, you're going to waste your funds and yes not only brainless the game but even the player...

I don’t think so. If a person plays these games enough times, eventually he will notice that they are only good for quick in&out’s. Because of the house edge, player will always be on the losing side if he plays long enough. Some people never get this and keep chasing a ghost but there are not many. So get it after then spin their 1000th wheel.

Sports betting offer much better chances compared to “brainless” gambling and that’s why professional gamblers don’t play dice for income.

Nope, the purpose of gambling is to be entertained so it’s up to user preference how they will be entertained through gambling games.

Some preferred spin and win games without the need to think while others preferred strategy based game like poker because they enjoy competition and analysis to win.

There’s no universal way to properly gamble we have different preferences on how we will enjoy.

What makes person brainless is a person being born without a brain, also would make them born dead FYI. Kidding of course but playing slots or dice is just their way of making money or losing money. There are probably some very intelligent folks that like to play slots or dice, people unwind in different ways.

You gotta take the meaning of the word in context of statement, I meant, "brainless" word here as in playing games that does not require using brain.

If you gamble all day long like slot or dice, it will not only dull your brain, but you will also become addicted. It will take you to the peak of addiction. And if you are very lucky, you may win a lot of money. But most of the time, there is a high chance of going bankrupt.

I have seen that those who gamble all day long are not only addicted to gambling. They gradually become addicted to various drugs. Most gamblers have a bad temper. They do not treat anyone well. Also, gambling like slot and dice is completely dependent on luck. It does not require any use of our thinking power. From this, I think that various skill based gambling is good for the brain. Poker, Blackjack and sports betting gambling can be called skill based

Not necessarily. Having played poker for many years and now occasionally switching to games that don't require thinking, such as slots, I see some sense in what you say, but not enough to establish a general rule. If you watch videos of people in Vegas clicking away at slot machines like there's no tomorrow, you'll probably get that impression, and it's probably true in some or many cases. But you can be intelligent and play slots from time to time; the two aren't incompatible.

Playing simple gambling games can be fun, but if you spend too much time on them, your brain might get less stimulated, which can affect your focus and sharpness. That’s why it’s important to find a balance and include other activities that help develop your mind.

If someone spends most of their time on chance or luck based games like slots or dice, they’re not really challenging their mind. These games don’t require strategy or deep thinking, so over time it can lead to mental dullness compared to activities that actively exercise the brain but is that what makes us worry? I think the addiction itself is the worse that could happened from continuous playing that kind of games.

[danherbias07]

To understand the games that you said, you also need brains. So, I don't think a person will be dull just because he is playing it continuously.

But I do believe that it could change a person's way of life. He can become lazy, self-centered, and unsociable because he always just thinks about gambling again. It's best if we can understand the gamblers who are addicted to playing 24/7 types of games. They need someone to talk to them sometimes so that they won't end up being unsociable in the future. They are not stupid, just not thinking straight, because in their mind, it's always gambling.

I think that playing brainless will only make you lose money much more quicker than if you were gambling to earn. What is brainless gambling after all? Making ridiculous bets, playing high risk where its not necessary? All that will only make 0 on balance appear much faster. However, such brainless gambling sometimes can pay off, when randomly and with a huge luck, gambler all of a sudden gets rewarded. Some even call it as special tactics.

Brainless gambling games will not make a person dull, no dumber than those who mindlessly waste time on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube scrolling, swiping or otherwise brainlessly surfing the Internet.

So don't worry about it.

These are games that don’t require much cognitive effort, right? Spending long hours on them could reduce the time spent on activities that challenge the mind. That doesn’t necessarily mean someone becomes dull outright but it may limit mental stimulation and growth compared to engaging in problem-solving, strategy or learning.

[Solosanz]

It's all about accumulation.

Bob spend 8 hours to work, 3 hours to study, and 1 hour to gamble, resulting a balance life.
Alice spend 8 hours to work, 4 hours to study, high likely Alice will be smart.
Satoshi spend 12 hours in lucky based games without making any analysis.

From above illustration, I'm sure Satoshi will be the dumbest among them because he spend his whole time for gambling just by clicking the spin button over and over.

It really depends on how much you're playing these games. If you spend 5 minutes a day because you want a little buzz, then it's not really got much bearing on how interesting you are. However if you're some how affording to play for multiple hours a week I'd firstly question how you're funding it and secondly wonder why you don't have more interesting things to do. There are much more interesting games out there, but they can sometimes get too intense and competition, so it is hard to find a balance. It can actually be better for your health to play a more chilled game compared to sat a fast paced shooter which is hyper realistic. I remember getting adrenaline rushes from certain games which can be quite addictive in itself.

You are right and there is no gambling games that should be considered brainless except the person has another definition of what they meant by brainless if not we have only understand one thing about being brainless and that's what you have already stated, perhaps OP wanted to use another word to describe his motion but ended up using this instead, or he might be thinking that those games that doesn't involves any thinking is a brainless gamble that is why he highlighted those games because in roulettes there is no calculation or any reliable strategy because is almost like spinning to be lucky for it to roll to the number you picked, so actually that's what I think was the reason why OP called it brainless.

[joeperry]

So any game of chance? the one that doesn't require any strategy or analysis? I don't think it makes you dull those games are called game of chance for a reason, there's no way you can predict or analyze to have better chance of winning, it's like flipping coins. It doesn't require you to think, so it's useless to use your brain to win, so thinking while playing this games makes you actually dull since it doesn't require any thinking at all (the opposite) 

Maybe I would agree on "It makes you lazy" unlike sports betting and poker, where you really need some kind of thinking and analysis in order to have better chance of winning, and playing this games makes you lazy, that's why I prefer playing sports betting, because not only I use my brain, but also I do have a better chance of winning.

The brain will work consciously according to an event, even if a gambler plays at casino A and they are unlucky and they move to another casino in the hope of getting lucky at the last casino and all they think about is how they get big multiplications there and they don't really think about whether their brains are dull or not almost all gamblers are like that. I personally find this game quite boring and there is no skill involved in this slot game at all. Gamblers just have to spin, spin, and spin, and the results are determined randomly and by luck.
