Thread title should speak for itself and I'm going to start with this:

Yes, my grandmother. when she still was alive she lost huge amounts on slots. Money that she was not supposed to lose.
 
I don’t know them, but they’re all over the news (at least here in the Philippines). Who in their right mind loses hundreds of millions of pesos from taxpayers’ money? 🤯

Those Department of Public Works and Highways district engineers must be addicted to corruption and casinos! 💸🚧

Like bingo, Slot machines especially, attract a lot of old ladies.

My landlord once was one of them. "Luckily" for her, there was a bus that stopped just around the corner, collecting many ladies like her and taking them to Atlantic City. She wouldn't miss it for anything. Many times she would knock at my door asking for a 100 or $200 and saying that she was feeling lucky that day 😉🤣.

I have known a few people who like to gamble a bit more than they can afford to lose.

Knew a guy who would pawn things to get enough for the next poker game.

I know few people in my neighbourhood who are addicted to gambling but not at casinos. Over there they play offline games like Andar Bahar at private places. I actually know someone who played this, lost a lot, created a lot of debts and suicided. What a shame.

My granddaughter‘s boyfriend was addicted to craps at the casino because he started winning a lot but he finally got smart and realized to take a break when he started losing instead of giving all back all the money he won..
 
thankfully no one in my immediate circle, but i've definitely seen regulars at the local casino who look like they've completely checked out of reality. just sitting at the slots for hours looking totally miserable. makes you realize how dark the hobby can get if you don't keep yourself in check.
 
I’ve seen how gambling can become a serious problem when people start chasing losses or spending money they can’t afford. That’s why keeping clear limits matters so much.
 
Gambling stimulates the areas of the brain responsible for pleasure. With every small win, dopamine—the "happiness hormone"—is released, creating a sense of satisfaction and encouraging the player to keep going.There are many such people.Many mobile games use a reward system that allows players to feel a sense of progress and achievement. This can reinforce the desire to keep playing, even when it entails an investment of time and money.
 
Yes! I know a lot of my friends are addicted with slot games . So im happy im not playing this games , only poker . 🙂)
