I agree that if someone approach gambling to make money they have higher probability of getting addicted than someone who approaches it for fun
it's not given, because there's a lot of variability from human to human
but probably.

One interesting thing to think about is how casinos could make their games and engines less addicting though it goes completely against their interests.

Yeah, but the main attractiveness of casinos is the idea that you can earn money from the games.

The games themselves are not really that entertaining, because they don't have to be.

They just need to be random in a way that makes the casino earn more than they pay to the gambler, and that's it.

There would be very few people playing if there was no real money involved.

Yes. Some people will get more hooked by this possibility
Random rewards
Pure luck games with no skill or little skill

I could bet that their power users spend a lot of money on casinos, keep losing but keep coming back

Hope can be a sweet poison
