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?

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

But what if in those 30 minutes the gambler loses all their monthly income...

I wouldn't consider that a relaxing half an hour, it would be pretty stressful.

I think it all depends on the amount of time but also the amount of money involved.

Gambling games are meant to entertain one  and they are not by chance brainless games I understand the fact that the are mostly programmed to let the users lose but then they are not brainless gambling games that in turn would make one dull.
Initially i understand that we spend so much time playing those games that tend to be fun but sometimes it thus has an effect on the individual but not to the extent of making the person dull.

We can actually enjoy it without using lots of brains especially if we play slots or even dice games.

But if it happens that its been programmed for us to lose and didn't give us a chance to win then provably that I won't gamble on those games that has been programmed just like what you have mentioned.

But in sports betting we could not really do any brainless gambling or betting here, its because if we play fool or became lazy to learn more about the sports we like to bet. There's huge chance that we end up losing.

A gambling game that doesn't require a lot of effort won't be boring if the spins result in a profit. This way, we can enjoy the gambling because it increases our profits. However, we must understand that the chances of losing are greater than winning, so gambling won't always result in a profit, as losses are more likely to occur.
However, if the spins are good and long-lasting, I sometimes get bored even after switching games. It's also important to understand that gambling for too long is not good, even if the spins are good.

Don't you think gambling is a trap to get money. Where you said that Dua is basically made for fun, yes I also agree that gambling is made for fun but the developers have already planned that people will come here for fun and after coming here for fun they will get addicted so they will gamble and lose in gambling so the developers/those who run the gambling will profit. I have seen many people who first say that they are playing it for fun or some gambling sites are seen giving some demo assets for practice. Initially the gamblers start gambling with those demo assets and at some point they start thinking that now I will use real money instead because I have learned a lot now thinking that my chances of winning are much higher they gamble with real money and it is seen that in most cases they lose their money.

I think that will remain the best strategy in my submission. Planning a well calculated money spending on gambling should be the best strategy for one to adopt when gambling games like Slots and Casinos and nothing more. It will be a magic to predict slots games accurately and consistently. It will be dumbfounded to try to determine your wins and losses when gambling slots and other casino games and the rest is just pure luck.

Personally, when it comes to games of chance, my biggest priority is money Whether you win or lose, the number one priority is money. If we don't control money, it's impossible for us to control emotions alone. Emotions can fail at any moment, and that's a very bad thing So, given the way things are, we should all be clear about that idea.

They don't require any, you can play them essentially half asleep like many of those terrible mobile games that so many people are hooked on. Their ability to get many average people addicted is directly related to their simplicity. Most people are not able to get addicted to complex games because they don't have the brain capacity to play them.

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?

He did forget it, most people don't even know how these probabilities and events really work. It is the classic gambler's fallacy that a majority of the population believes. If red came 30 times, the next one must be black! 

But what if in those 30 minutes the gambler loses all their monthly income...

I wouldn't consider that a relaxing half an hour, it would be pretty stressful.

That's a sign of a bad gambling strategy or a lack of control, nevertheless that is not directly related to the topic at hand.

It is not only you that prioritizes money after all. I think that the most of us are into it and we like to take game of chances because that's how we can multiply our money without having much effort. But there is a risk for that and not always that we'll be winners. When we loses a lot, this makes us very emotional and we want to take things into our hands even if we're not in control of our emotions. Once we start to notice that it's becoming too much for us, that is the only time that we take a moment and think of that if it's good to go for more or not.

I agree. If it's too much, then maybe it can make someone dull, but it doesn't mean they are stupid. It just needs to be sharpened again by staying away from gambling and maybe relaxing a bit to go back to reality.
Gambling should not be our life. There's a lot more than we can do. If we are spending way too much time just rolling the dice or playing slots, it's not that productive. I bet we have different hobbies that we want to do, and it's also not healthy just sitting all the time with the monitor in front of us. Radiation and no exercise at all.

[Judith87403]

Who told you that to gambling on dice or something like that by brainless brain?

I think op has forgotten that whatever thing that requires reasoning or calculation is a Brain work, even if dice is  something that does not  require making analysis or research yet we still do a proper checking and also calculate before rolling.

Whatever thing that you're doing with money don't easily work without the help of the Brian,  even most of the things we do without putting money still requires brain so I would say that whatever thing you're doing requires brain. Anything that has to do with gambling is not brainless.

Gambling is only for temporary entertainment, and it should be done as limited as possible, when people take it as a very important part of their life, then it gradually pushes people towards addiction. Spending too much time here leads people to harm in all aspects, financial loss, physical damage and mental balance can be lost, and because of this, people often cannot make the right decisions. So, one should not spend too much time on these, it should be taken only for a limited time and for temporary entertainment, give extra importance to good deeds in daily life, gambling will never bring positive situations but it only leads to more harm, so these things must be understood well.

And all of that is normal, first and foremost we are human, we feel and of course it hurts to lose more when we risk a lot because then we say that it would have been a thousand times better to have spent the money on other things, like going out, eating hamburgers or pizza, going out with the family, taking a walk, anything, than to have lost it in the casino, that is why it is important before playing to determine how much money we can lose, that is the trick.
