Does playing brainless gambling games makes one dull?

[Bitcoin Smith]

Only if some gamble all day and most for of their daily routine and not doing any other thing will just brainrot them just as consuming social media or playing games because when we do something over and over in the virtual world then we will start losing the real world skills. But if I play the slot or dice for 30 minutes then it can be an escape from the stress that we are having from other things that can regenerate the brain strength and give us more energy to work productively.

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

I don't think if slots, or dice is brainless as you think. Because before you make selection you have to think properly so as to avoid making the wrong selection, and this is still the work of the brain. so you saying that slot or dice is brainless is very wrong. Rather you can only say that slot or dice does not require strategy, I think all  gamble related activities requires brain, while most of them lack strategy.

In the aspect of being dull while playing slots games, the truth is I don't like playing slot games. So if you ask me I can't possibly give an answer to that but I have seen someone saying that he always feel dull whenever he's playing slot games.

I believe all gambling games require using your brain, not in the sense of having high knowledge when playing, but when taking decisions and following the rules of the game, one should still use his brain for that. Now, I don’t see these games brainless, but rather they’re just luck and chance based, and your skills and strategies aren’t necessary anymore.

However, a gambler should still be wise in his decisions, especially in times when to cash out or when to continue gambling. Otherwise, if you gamble without using your brain, it’s like you are letting yourself to lose constantly, and I don’t think that’s what we want when gambling.

Brainless? It’s just us playing games that we love to play without calculations that do not make us brainless. It’s just a matter of us being entertained and not about us increasing our level of thinking. Even in slots, even as we don’t have a perfect strategy, there are still those who like to overtake everything seriously and make it look as if they are calculative. They don’t place bets on it blindly; they just use their brain to manage their bankroll and keep their budget in check.

Luck-based games like slots often get boring if played continuously. 1,000 to 2,000 spins is still fine for small bets and I never go beyond that for crypto casinos. I get bored easily with the same game and tend to switch if I don't win in the first 100 or 200 spins. This naturally means I don't want to linger on a game that's not profitable, even if it's fun. It's hard to say that gambling is purely fun for me; of course, we all want to win, not just have fun.

I understand your point, but what the brain is referring to here is analysis. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's what the OP meant. Slots and dice are two games that don't require much analysis, but slots offer some analysis. I'm not sure how one can analyze dice games, but slots offer some useful factors, such as RTP and volatility.

[Slow death]

Here in my neighborhood, there are many slot machines everywhere. I see people playing every day, all the time. Sometimes I wonder if they ever rest. But something I've noticed is that they're always laughing and arguing among themselves, fighting, and yet they continue to play and laugh. They do this every day. Which leads me to believe that they're not bored; they're having fun when they play. Maybe the day they removed all the machines, they'd get bored.

Gambling is a form of entertainment, and as much as some governments demonize gambling and talk about addiction, gambling also has a good side: making people have fun. For example, people in my neighborhood spend hours playing games while drinking beer and chatting. Those slot machines have become their meeting point for fun. If they're not there, the street will be empty, giving thieves space to rob people passing by.

To be fair, in most of the casino games one can find out there, there is a minimum mental effort to be done. There are just a few games which require us to have enough attention to make choices, like blackjack (since one needs to pay attention on whether to continue to take cards or stop) and also crash (since one needs to decide when exactly ro cash out).

Anyways, I would not say slots make one brainless or numb, but I personally believe slots could make one to become insensitive, because there is not much to think about and those games mess much with out dopamine receptors in our brains, that is common knowledge.

One of the reasons I am not particularly fan of slots and prefer card games.

This is all based on how the gamblers allows himself to be influenced by gambling...it's possible to become dull through gambling and by that I mean being unresponsive and also having an unproductive mind, this is not because that is how your Brain was designed, gambling is simply taking more focus than what is necessary therefore this makes it difficult for you to concentrate and utilize your mental reasnoning

A game that requires no skill doesn't make one dull either nor does it mean that the brain is not used, the brain is always at work but however not using it to make tactics and think deeper like you do in other games might be the reference point yet it doesn't make you dull because few hours of not making high end thoughts doesn't decide the whole of your life or your brain capacity it's just temporary, for a moment.

It's possible. but only if someone gambles for hours every day, without engaging in other activities, but if someone gambles responsibly and manages their daily playing time, it won't affect their cognitive health. moreover, as one gets older, a person's cognitive health will also decrease, even without gambling, so if they want to hone their thinking skills, they can train themselves by reading or engaging in activities that require logic and concentration such as chess, etc., so that their cognitive health can be maintained longer, and help slow down the decline in brain function as they age.

It is more decent to say these games (slots, roulette, dice etc.) are luck-based than saying brainless games.

Anyway, I don't think it makes a gambler foolish if his chosen game is luck-based. We have our own way of thinking and preference. Hence, if you find satisfaction to this kind of game, why not? That's your choice and your money anyway. Just don't set a high expectation to win since it's luck-based, no skills required, therefore not easy to win.

[Yamifoud]

Are these people who play "brainless" games, as you have said, stupid? Probably not, and for sure they are a usual gambler who just relies on luck. But they still have a good mind and faith in gambling. Why they chose those games was their decision as well. Yes, as some members said, "We all have different preferences." But for sure, we all have used our brains despite gambling on pure-luck-based games.

[lovesmayfamilis]

In our age of new technologies, whether we like it or not, unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are very easy to call "stupid." Let me clarify: sitting for many hours with gadgets, getting quick dopamine, playing fast games, using AI for any reason, without going into details and without delving into the accuracy of the data provided, is also quick dopamine, which completely discourages people from doing anything on their own. The brain needs to be developed, like all our muscles. Everything that we are too lazy to do, relying on existing conveniences, makes a person a dumb sheep (no matter how rudely this is said). It is necessary, along with push-ups, to develop your brain through reading, problem-solving, poetry, and everything that will contribute to the intellectual development of a person.

It is not only gambling that makes people antisocial, but it is also the neuro shit hitting. The prefrontal cortex of problem gamblers is usually underactive, which messes with impulse control & reallife decision making. There is no need of high level complex brain functions but they create an experience of what is referred to as a dark flow of trance that dulls self awareness & enhances dissociation especially to someone who is already emotionally vulnerable. That does not make them stupid but hooked, dissociated, & often lonely. Blaming is not a good way to deal this situation however they need some empathy & cognitive strategies to overcome.

I think this reply from @kryptqnick would help profer better answer to this in regards that the both threads is almost in same direction.

I'd say that, in a sense, any gambling tests one's mental skills. Even if it's something like slots or dice, one still needs to be patient, to keep emotions under control, to not overspend and to avoid chasing losses.  All of this has an impact on how much is spent on gambling, so it's important to consider. Division into luck-based and skill-based gaming simplifies what's really going on.

In this subject, I don't think if there is at all any game played without mental or logical reasoning.
The slot games are seem to be more likely to be skilless gambling activity but yet, there is terms that being logical can help. So literally, there is no such games that is not required disciplines and there is non that encourages such a dump headed.

What we may not know about unskilled games is that the more we play them is the more our develops mental faculties grows in the logic of finding solutions. So, non of the above mentioned is a brainless game.

I don`t sure that "dull" is right word. Such gambler would become not interesting. And it even don`t depends on would his games be brainless or not. People must have different interests to be interest If someone will be in the gambling all day long - you would speak with him only about gambling. It is ok if you see him one time per month, but if he will tell you about gambling every day - you will be tired soon.

How major is this "major part of his/her daily routine"? If a person plays dice/slots for 12 hours a day, when does he go to work?
Are you suggesting that unemployed people with lots of free time are playing dice/slots/roulette/crash several hours per day?
How come those unemployed people have enough money to spend on gambling?
There were studies claiming that watching TV 10 hours per day makes you stupid. I don't know about how true those statements are, but there must be a little bit of truth here and there. If you think that slots and dice are brainless games, then maybe all traditional casino games are brainless(excluding poker). I don't know about a gambling game, where you have to use your brain in order to win the game. Most gambling games are based on luck, not on brains and IQ.

[retreat]

From what I know, excessive engagement in non-stimulating activities, especially when done continuously, can contribute to cognitive decline over time. But this usually happens when people play without time limits and for prolonged periods. Such behavior not only affects the brain but can also lead to addiction. To prevent this, it’s important to balance play with other activities that involve critical thinking and problem-solving to keep the mind active. They also need to manage their playtime to avoid excess that could cause both cognitive and financial harm.

I wouldn't call any gambling games brainless because money is involved, even if it's games like slot that totally depends on luck to win. A gambler that is playing casino games with their money surely wants to test their luck and to receive reward or winnings if it favors them. I don't even think that it's necessary to apply too much brain work in gambling because after all your supposed perfect strategy and analysis you can still lose your bet. The thing is that people should not see gambling as a job, enjoy yourself with amount that you can afford to loose, no need to stress your brain so much because of gambling.

[mirakal]

Certainly no. It won’t make a person dull, instead it will bring entertainment and fun, regardless if that certain game requires using your brain or not.

And just to make it clear, there is no dull moment with gambling, especially if you’re at the streak of winning. And even if losses start to appear, it won’t make you dull, but it will definitely make you a strategic gambler on how you will manage to minimize or overcome those losses.
