Adam Spark Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Far be it for me to guess why gambling addicts become addicts I suppose, but without the possibility of winning something eventually, it is not gambling. Its just a buy-in fee, like a cover charge to access a club. The tokens, the twitter post clearly states, have no real value and are not exchangeable. Entertainment purposes only. I doubt many gambling addicts would bother with simply virtually pulling slot levers without the slimmest hope of getting anything else out of it. Its the hope of one day hitting a jackpot that has them hooked, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a clinical psychologist working in the field of paediatric psycho-oncology and although I work with kids, I still fully understand what makes it addictive for adults and it was discussed in here already and no it's not hitting the jackpot. But honestly I am starting to get really tired of this discussion, but I bet Google is a huge help when you truly want to inform yourself about gambling addiction 💙 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost as if some people are posting: "I'm not an addict, but I know how addiction works. This is not real gambling, so cannot be addictive." No, they don't know! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I tried the low stakes slots & found them boring. Just now I tried the low stakes Blackjack & found that to be fun. If I'm bored in SL, I might play this, but never with my own money. Btw, how is Blackjack not a skill game? You have to be able to figure out your odds of winning or losing your hand. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate the idea from LL to try giving us residents more entertainment x3 I will totally try it too, and luckily I am able to just walk away from it when my daily tokens ran out. ...when I play black jack with my friends it's more like it's not much skill used from my side "WOOHOOGIMMEANOTHERCARD...WHOOPS" I swear I'm not gentle hahaha my husband is all calculating XD I also wonder what will happen to the skill games regions with this new concept 🤔 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at least 2 decks. I think someone should try card counting and see if the randomization is truly like using 2 decks or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except LL is bad at the maths, and therefore the randomness is probably not very good, it better be like 2 decks or whatever the game is, or it's not like the "real game"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an interesting (to me, at this time of day) thought: there's probably not a lot that would get you banned from Helios if you're spending money. Hopefully someone tests this theory and reports back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone tests this theory and reports back! I won't spend money tho T^T I am premium plus that's enough money spent plus the occasional $L purchases x3 It's sad that they (as many said) haven't thought of making the bar usable or adding a Jukebox or something fun, you know for SOCIAL fun. But maybe Anubis don't gives out alcohol cause of addictions? *hums Alanis Morrisette song* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
