I consider slots more addictive because everything is a matter of luck, with sports betting you have to think, analyze, see, search for news, do a good job to get a good prediction result, the difference in these is that slots can entertain you so much that you spend money almost without realizing it because the emotions they unleash are many, I would say slots and for that same reason and because by betting little you sometimes win a lot.
Slot machines are designed in such a way that people easily become addicted, especially in the case of physical casinos, where the exciting sounds, lights, and instant rewards all create a kind of mental excitement, which makes you more interested in gambling and all in all, a kind of confidence is created in you, which makes you feel like you can win very soon, in short, these things keep you locked in to gambling, you cannot get out of them easily. So slot games are definitely more addictive than sports betting.
I totally agree with that. I recently watched a travel show about how gambling is basically not allowed in Japan, but there are slot machines that accept special tokens that can then be converted into money. That's how they get around the gambling ban. And I want to say that Japanese slot machines are very bright, they have big boards with different colorful characters, loud sounds, bright colors, and I'm sure that even 10 minutes of playing on such a slot machine has a strong effect on the psyche.
