Does it prey? I think scratchers / casinos / sports betting / online poker / more general kinds of gambling is far more addictive and malicious, because the dopamine fueled reward->attempt cycle is a far tighter loop with those.

The counter argument is that a lot of those games reward “skill”. Through study/statistics your odds improve, in the same way that equity research can lead to a good stock pick. The lottery is naked chance.
