It’s true that gambling is attractive due to its simplicity. Where else can you find a game like slots?
Gambler spin the slots and don’t think about anything, but sit and wait for luck to change your life for the better.
And the fact is that, in essence, such an activity makes no sense at all without cash prizes.
Poker or betting require at least minimal thinking from the gambler...
Well your points isn't perfectly understood but I know that the attractive nature of gambling isn't mainly in it's simplicity because there are other simple games out there who gets less engagement like gambling, rather what gives gambling the attraction the most is it's rewarding nature when you are lucky, but on days when you aren't, it can be really rough but mainly the testimonies of others as it regards the reward gotten of gambling, has been the fueling factor that attracts so many others into gambling.
Without a doubt the reason gambling games are attractive is because of the possibility to earn some money when you win, and this is very obvious as if you have ever tried to play a gambling game with play money, you will soon realize how boring they really are.
Unlike a video game or a board game which you can play simply for the sake of it, and get a great deal of entertainment without spending any more money than what you spent in order to get them.
