Re:How slot machines are designed to be addictive by sigi45 on Tuesday November 07, 2017 @04:11PM (#15647687)
Do you have much experience in taking a look who is playing your slot machines?

I mean do you really go to places and check it out for a few hours?

Here in germany there are small casinos. Not real casinos but with a few machines like 5-20.

I went to such a place because there was a pool table in thenext room. I saw, while playing pool, how a few people used multil machines at once, feed those machines 10Euros and more (around 11$) in a quick feshion.

Do you think, that those people, who play on a saturday afternoon enjoying this? i mean do you really think "yes the experience im providing for them through my job is is an activity they enjoy and the enjoyment stands in relation to the amount of money they are spending".

I only thought "holy shit, poor people, throwing there hard earned money away" I felt sorry for those people. so sry that i was thinking if or how i could approach them.

My pool table for 2 hours and 4-5 drinks was cheaper of what one person was putting in those machines.

I think they are addicted.
