Does playing brainless gambling games makes one dull?

[cxtreenal]

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.

I assume that you mean by mindless gambling not to apply your skills. I gamble for fun and money, so I use my brain. I do research to increase the amount of winnings. The gambling you mentioned also involves the use of the brain. Some people use their brains with their own intelligence, while others rely on others and are lazy to apply it. I know those lazy gamblers who do not want to apply their knowledge, they copy the games of others. They do not want to experience themselves, they think that the results of gambling depend on luck. There is logic in their assumption, it is somewhat correct. But they do not believe that with increasing experience in gambling the amount of losses can be reduced to a large extent so they gamble mindlessly.

Not really I would say as people who play "brainless" games like you say are the ones who usually hit it really big like winning max win of huge amounts, above 10.000x is normal nowadays and imagine one to win more than 100.000 dollars with just a 2 dollar bet depending on the amount of time he plays and what he hits. I say good luck to anyone wanting to achieve that in poker which is a brain game and you have to think, the more you think in poker in fact does not make your smarter either, it is just a way to keep the brain a bit more active though people who play slots are not dull, they are smart as they are chasing those dream wins and people who follow their dreams I do not consider them dull at all, quite the opposite in fact, very smart people. The only bad thing they do is they play against luck  .

If this brainless strategy makes you enjoy the game, then why is it going to make you dull? Anything that excites you or evokes your interest can never make you dull; what makes you dull is doing something that you don’t like or forcing yourself to do it.
I’ve played a no-strategy game, or, in your terms, a brainless one, and I find it exciting. You just do it without thinking about why you pick it, and sometimes it’s profitable.

Yes, if you don't practice your cognitive skills, they are going to slow down and become less efficient. It's like a room full of furniture which hasn't been cleaned or used for so long. It will get dusty and taken by spiders' webs. Nothing survives, neither can be maintained without movement and activity.

The same is valid for people who just watch short meaningless videos all day long, just scrolling their finger on the smartphone's screen. They are going to become dull. There is a modern tendency to follow such behavioral patterns, so it's not a coincidence people are getting more ignorant and narrow minded each new day.

People tend to play with the less hassle game which is just keep rolling and wait for the result they don't need to waste their time and energy to think more about the game itself they came for fun and entertainment reason why most of the people preferred with the use of slot games or no brainer games, no strategy, no analysis, just roll and hit the jackpot. Well its okay with this but its way more riskier than having your decision making on the game with the bet of your money so its a risk appetite of the person.

Brainless or mindless activities doesn't happen in gambling. Moving our hands or walking around the house involves the brain and mind. Slot or dice game still get us exhausted and it requires work to tap a button consistently. Even copying people's game requires reviewing and cross checking or editing which happens to be one of the hardest tasks to give our brain. The only thing that dulls the brain in gambling is abusing the act of gambling.

[TheUltraElite]

I think it will dull their habits to make better decisions and continue to make the poor decision to play that game. Repetitive games like slots often have the maximum number of players playing it because it lacks any need to use your grey cells and make a decision, you just press a button and you can play.

It makes the adult turn to a child for a short period of time and because we have all enjoyed the time being a child without responsibilities we are wired to love that sensation. In that manner these games hook up us to that addiction.

I would say that other games dont do this, maybe some of them can improve your counting skills and help you learn new skills but this is usually not how the process happens.

Some gamblers may do this, if you are someone who is used to thinking about betting patterns or specific strategies for gambling, you will feel bored when you gamble without using them. Because something will definitely be missing from your gambling sensations. Games like slots don’t really require such things seriously. Some just spin and bet until the gaming session is over. Some may enjoy the process as waiting for luck, but some gamblers will surely get bored with that method.

Slot game, dice and roulettes are not brainless game. They require you to thin of a way to manage you bankroll or follow a certain patterns
But in terms of doing analysis, using  strategy they dont require you to stress your brain because its all based on luck.

[Miles2006]

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.

I understand the point stated by op meanwhile gambling games was never meant to sharpen the brain or give an extraordinarily wisdom, we as gamblers feel the need to go extra miles in terms of studying different types of strategy for the win although this might be fun when we understand what gambling is all about. This is not a general issue rather is common when playing easy gambling games can weaken a gambler sense of reason when encountering other difficult games requiring thinking and being strategic.

We have to define what dull is. Dull is a lack of interest and motivation, and brainless is not thinking about what will be your bets, if you are comfortable doing this. I know some people bet aimlessly, but they never lose their interest and motivation to gamble. Whether they analyze their bets or not, it doesn’t make them dull people.
I have never met a bettor who becomes dull from gambling, regardless of the strategy they employ.

Does playing brainless gambling games makes one dull?

Yes and no - depending on lifestyle!

Here is an article indicating that humans in general have been experiencing declining
I.Q's since 1975! and thats caused by lifestyle and technology.

https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/research-confirms-it-really-are-getting-dumber.htm

Key Takeaways
IQ levels have been falling since 1975, reversing a century-long trend of rising intelligence quotients identified as the Flynn Effect.
Research indicates this decline in IQ scores is due to environmental factors rather than genetic changes, with trends observed in Norway, Britain, France and the Netherlands.
Potential causes for this decline include changes in education systems, nutrition, media consumption and technology use, with studies suggesting even the presence of a smartphone can impact cognitive capacity.

My reckoning is that its important to have balance in everything we do, nutrition
and lifestyle.

If someone does little else than play slots, watch TV and eat fast food well
then the answer is going to be YES

If playing slots is only part of an otherwise healthy life then the answer is NO

The key is BALANCE

In the first place, why do we gamble? We gamble to excite ourselves, not to become dull and lose motivation.
People become dull not from gambling but from their experience and their surroundings and how people treat them; on the contrary, gambling excites us and takes away our dull moments.
And the only warning we have about gambling is spending too much, not playing too much, and becoming a dull person.

No "Brainless" according to your definition does not make a person dull, neither do i think sports prediction makes anyone smart.

The only instance of becoming dull is spending much time playing and enjoying those "Brainless" games without learning new things.

Gambling shouldn't be what we do all day, 30 minutes - 1 hour is enough to entertain ourselves, sparing out those minutes for fun cannot make you dull.

I think "dull" is dumb; you become dumb if you play brainless games. That's what I think he means, but I don't think you will become dull at the end while playing these brainless games like slots.

Do you think you can become smart if you play smart games? You can improve and make some strategies playing that game, but you won't become a smart person.

Same with playing brainless games—you just enjoy that game and have fun from wins and losses. If the slots have additional buttons where you can practice your strategies, you can improve over time, but since it's one button for play and stop, you can't improve anything. It does not mean that you will become a dull or smarter.

That's right gamble was never meant to make us think smart, it's just a game of fun which gamblers should do for entertainment but it seems that many gamblers only gamble to make profits through but. However to me there's no full game in gamble, because if the games are full I'm sure that no body will bet on them because they re not entertaining. Actually all games have their patterns, if slot games are full for the OP, they might not be dull to another players.

We have 24 hours in a day that is generally splitted and used for carrying out so much activities ranging from work, socialization, family life, and maybe a small fraction of it can be used for gambling. in the real sense, it is not even advisable to gamble beyound 2 hours a day no matter what and it is not something you are going to be doing every day. but even if we assume a worse case scinario where someone is using like say 2 hours out of the 24 hours to gamble, and then use the remaining time to do other useful things, then there is no way such is going to have effect on him.

in everything we do both in terms of gambling and other things, the place of creating a ballance is neccesary and that is what helps one not to get addicted and also helps take out any form of supposed dullness that comes with being too focused on a particular event. ofcause this sort of thing is not just common to gambling, it can happen even when you are dealing with other areas where you are paying too much atention to it at the negligence of other areas.

I don't know, I mean, just because someone plays a game that doesn't require much thinking, doesn't mean that they will go dull. Anyway, the highlighted part makes it sound like the person spends an unhealthy amount of time gambling, which could be a sign of a gambling problem/addiction.

Gambling games can't make anyone dull just because they are not iq games. What is capable of making a slow is when he focuses too much on gambling and neglects doing other things like keeping the Brain active by studying and gaining knowledge, this is obviously when people get overly addicted to it. Gambling moderately doesn't make anyone dull, the type of game doesn't actually matter

We have to take you to the "slot court" for you to prove to us that it is a brainless game just kidding.
Slots it just for fun. It is for relaxing and not for something so serious. We are not expected to work hard while playing it. Of course for those of us who already know that the odds are against us. We use our spare money or specific money assigned for it and after it we go. Slots just take up less than 0.1% of our time maybe one a per or two and nothing more. Believe me, our brain is not going to be lost after it
