The gambling world is definitely in a big shift!! almost similar to the constant shift of the crypto ecosystem... The older generationx kind of grew up with the analog pattern of gambling such as lottery,, horse racing,, casinos & maybe the occasional poker night cruise... but 4 the  Millennials and Gen Zx era! gambling kind of looks very different, because it has now evolved into more digital era with mobile apps, online sports betting, esports nd even crypto casinos.. They don’t need to do the old school style of dressing up and walkin into a casino anymore! all they do now is casually place a bet in seconds on their mobile devices from the comfort of their home!! i mean they can even decide to place a bet while takin some sh**t Grin no stress.

The interesting part is how this change affects their habits... The older gamblers talk more about the thrill of the game or the social side of going to a casino that gives room for networkin with others from different social backgrounds.. But the GenZ gamblers seem more tech driven, more attracted by instant betting, flashy apps & of course not to forget about the idea of making quick money... On top of that we are begining to see crossovers with the gaming such as loot boxes, skins betting nd even esports gambling!! the kind of things that the older players might not even consider as gambling in the traditional sense of things.

The wonder is that the generational gap is also changing the risks involved too. because it seems like the GenZ gamblers are more vulnerable to quick losses because everything is so fast and available at their fingertips or on the flip side are they actually smarter with money since they grew up in the digital world and know how to use tools, stats and betting strategies better?  or is it that the older gamblers were more patient because they treat it more as entertainment instead of chasing fast profits!!

What do you guys think??? is gambling realy evolving between generationx or is it the same thing but just in a different package or format???

You have reversed the cause and effect. No generation can change anything. Only business (in the broadest sense) can change something and create new needs, form new patterns of consumer behavior. In this case, this business is the gambling industry. Since the second half of the last century, even consumer demand has been created and shaped by sellers (in a broad sense).

By itself, the new generation will consume what is advertised to them and in the form that will be formed. But of course, the generation itself is taught that it satisfies its tastes, that they decide this, and the business only adapts to their whims. Do you want to play fast? Do you want to play anywhere, anytime? Everything is for you. This is how a new type of gaming behavior is formed. It can be roughly called the "mobile type", whereas before (before the mobile era), gamblers mostly perceived gambling as an anticipation, as a weekend holiday. And mobile consumption eliminates both anticipation and celebration and turns gambling into a routine.

However, this format of consumption brings huge profits to the gambling industry due to its massive size, because the number of gamblers has grown significantly since the beginning of the era of widespread smartphones.
