Does playing brainless gambling games makes one dull?

[giammangiato]

I believe games that don't require skill but only luck are more likely to lead to addiction, because in the specific case of slot machines, the sounds, the colors, the small wins, and the hope of a bigger one force your will to continue and hope.
Furthermore, since they're so relaxing from a gaming perspective, you don't even notice the loss you're incurring because your mind keeps repeating itself (I'm recovering now).
I confess that I play them every now and then, but I don't play for longer than 10 minutes. If I win or lose within 10 minutes, I quit the game.

Yes, most likely, in games where there is only chance and the gambler cannot influence the outcome in any way, addiction will most likely appear.
Because I've never heard of addiction to poker or blackjack, because the guys there are always tense, and they think, and the brain is designed in such a way that it's unlikely that it can get addicted to something where you have to constantly think and analyze and be tense.

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.

Who told you that to gambling on dice or something like that by brainless brain? Nothing can be done without a brain. In dice if anyone play with same ampunt and only by pressing by same button then that will make only loser now or that and actually it may happen too fast. But if anyone can use brain then t6here might have chance to be a winner. Eg: if anyone place bet again the 3 loss in a row then maximum time the cance of being winer is too high.

It is only when we're sleeping that our brains are not active, as far as you're in a gambling site you need to be calculative of a lot of things. For you to know when to stop playing luck based games shows that you're using your brain, for you to use amount that you can afford to loose shows that you're using your brain. Even when you're greedy and chasing loses you're still using your brain because you want to recover what you've lost. If you're gambling for fun and enjoying yourself you're giving your body and soul rest and it's your brain that tells you that you need to relax. Either you're gambling for fun or to make money you have a purpose for it and it's your brain at work.

It depends on the time we spend playing those games on average, let's say if someone is spending 30 minutes of their day to playing some quick games, this can bring positive outcomes such as relieving work stress, gives some kind of refreshment and even some kind of relaxation to the brain from the usual routine.

But the scenario changes completely if someone is spending 6 hours of their day into playing casino or rolling dice on an everyday schedule that is bad and can make one less creative over time.

I also think there are no gamblers who bet without using their brains. Even in luck-based games like slots, people might think they just need to keep spinning until their balance runs out. If they are lucky, they might win, if they lose, then just leave. But without realizing it, even in the process of gambling on luck, our brains play a role in control and decision-making.

Perhaps what the OP means is related to gamblers who bet blindly and only rely on luck. In such a way, I don't know what motivates people to gamble if they do it like that. The only thing I can think of is that such people are not gamblers, but just people who are testing their luck.

I mean games like dice/slots don't require using much brain power, do they? If player changes amount, multiplier here and there — at most you'll be using elementary level math, now don't say it's much.

But if anyone can use brain then t6here might have chance to be a winner. Eg: if anyone place bet again the 3 loss in a row then maximum time the cance of being winer is too high.

Not sure what you mean, but if what little I am getting is right — do you forget that each roll is independent of previous outcomes?

So those games provide relaxation, and relaxation doe not really make one dull.

Yes, this only happens when you enjoy the game and sports betting, this is the best thing you can do because it achieves something like this and betting without pressure and without any kind of worry is the most enjoyable activity in the world and that does bring relaxation, because there comes a time when you accept whether you win or lose.
