Turning off sounds while playing slot games

[viljy]

Characteristic sounds contribute to the development of classical conditioning. Apart from hearing, only smell and taste are equally susceptible to classical conditioning among the sensory organs. But vision is much less so (because 80% of information comes through vision, and excessive sensitivity would simply interfere with perception). Therefore, without sound, addiction will really be less. By the way, what is addiction? This is memorization. Some primitive tribes had such a way to remember something - to accompany it with a characteristic taste. By the way, Pavlov himself conducted experiments on dogs with sound stimuli (bell).

Some slots providers must be very bad at calculating then, because their game sounds are annoying or dont fit gaming situation For a test I have been playing slots with a buffalo on a logo and it had western design, but during game rock music was playing. I was expecting western music, banjo to hear, but got rock music instead, and in fact the tune was too fast for relaxing game.

I understand your position perfectly, and it's possible that some providers are looking for that Rock, especially heavy rock, tends to be quite intense music at first glance, but if you look at the greatest icons of rock , they are quite sophisticated It's music that can generate tranquility and control in our brains in some way. Of course, I know that's not the focus of the LSOs, but I see it from that point of view.

This approach you pointed out is really sensible, and a lot of people look down on how powerful sound cues are in gambling. Audio slot is created to cause excitement, urgency, and the illusion of reward, even if you are losing. To turn it off takes away one layer of reinforcement psychologically, therefore the experience may feel flatter and little compelling.

Haven said that, visuals yet matters and can help the habit stay alive on their own. This pattern may reduce intensity, yet it is not always enough on its own long term.
It operates better if mixed with boundaries on time, funds, or even frequency. Consider it as reducing the volume on being tempted, instead of entirely muting it.

Yesterday I gambled, and yes, I did win. However, I subconsciously turned off the sound of the game I was playing. I don't know why. Even though I won, I felt something was missing, and it turns out I hadn't turned on the sound.

And I think the opposite is true when gambling doesn't result in a win, but there's a spin that pampers us with slightly increased profits, but the sound sounds seem more exciting.

I think that when we Learn to use everything the Slots offer us , we can get the most out of them The music, the way to play, everything is there for a reason Not everything is bad , Some of us like the sounds , others don't it's a matter of taste in the end I'm glad you Won.

I see people pointing towards this direction on the previous comments, but I really don’t see it that way, I mean, sound or no sound, it’s just gambling as usual for me. Yeah it’s true that the sounds can bring some level of excitement and could make the gaming experience more thrilling but that doesn’t mean it’s really that strong enough to pull me in when I feel it’s okay or time to take a walk, I do enjoy playing whether or not there’s sound.

Yes. Some people see the sound as a noise for them while some enjoy it. So all depends on the players. We can't speak foe all the players here that they like or dislike the sound but individual likeness on the sound matters a lot. If there is no sound and you have luck you will still win and if no luck that day you loss so it is not all about the sound or not. But as it is said there is an excitement with the sound.

This applies to those players who rely only on luck, and of course, playing with sound is much more fun for them, because they only need to press a button and wait for the result. I play from a different point of view, I always analyze and draw conclusions, I want to try strategies, change bet sizes to limit myself from losing or use a time limit. At the same time, I try to control myself emotionally because I would like to become a winning player, because of these reasons I just always play with the sound off, this will help me analyze the game better.

And the same with having a sound, if you're lucky, you'll definitely will win. But it's the truth about having the sound.

Many do like to gamble without having it because they can be calm and don't like to be bothered by it.

But as it is said there is an excitement with the sound.

It has and it stimulates our brain that makes us want to do more.

Sounds are highly stimulating, especially when related to rewards. Gamblers are conditioned by the sound, and become excited when they hear it, because they know exactly what it means in a very automatic and instinctive way. At some point, you don't even have to show them the prize to make them feel excited. Only by hearing the sound they will already feel emotionally rewarded and hooked.

I can relate the experience to online mmorpg games as well where players grind for rare items. Once a drop occurs, a special sound and light are displayed. Then, everytime they see those lights and hear the sound later, their hearts accelerate instantly.

I do this sometimes when I try to sneak in some slot play while my wife is already sleeping beside me. I have no choice but to turn off the sound so she won’t notice. But on a normal day, I don’t turn it off because the sound is part of the entertainment. You watch, you listen, and even if you lose, at least you felt something. And turning off the sound doesn’t change the outcome anyway, I still lose.

it's funny that people actually think that turning off the sounds of casino games would change the outcome of the games but that is not really accurate because those sounds are just effects that makes the game more enjoyable, the problem with people that think like this is that they think they can control the game but it is jsut an illusion but they don't actually realise this until they end up losing a lot

That's true, exactly. The sound creates that false sense of victory all the time. Turning off the audio doesn't solve everything; it can even hinder certain people, I'm talking about concentration, balance, and strategy. Many people don't know what that's like when you turn off the game's sound.

That's right, AFAIK, there's a study that the more we're attracted to a game. The sounds are one of its contributors based on how we liked it.

I can relate the experience to online mmorpg games as well where players grind for rare items. Once a drop occurs, a special sound and light are displayed. Then, everytime they see those lights and hear the sound later, their hearts accelerate instantly.

And that's the same with slots, we're hearing often those sounds when we're hitting it.

It excites us more because the reward is there or we'd like to hear it if we're not winning anything yet.
