Am not really a full time gambler but I'm a player, and if gamblers are addicted they'll have some favorite games to play, then what about the player who has also their favorite games can we really tell that they're also addicted to that certain game?

Huh

I was little curious about this earlier, for I have seen some replies / feedbacks on my previous post that seems questionable to me. Only positive thought can be given, any negativities will get deleted

It is difficult when to draw the line between favoritism and addictiveness as they have different manifestations. A person may favour someone/something over another but that does not mean that he is addicted to it. In contrast, being addicted to something/someone means you find satisfaction from that feeling and you are insatiably hunger to look for more.
Furthermore, gamblers suffer this type of problem especially when they lack the self-discipline in controlling themselves. With their thirst for this satisfaction, they will exhaust every means in order to feed it- thus addiction is born.
