Synopsis

What makes gambling so addictive? Why do players keep spending even when they know they shouldn't?

The Psychology of Gambling dives into the hidden science behind the world's most profitable games. From casinos to mobile apps, this book reveals how behavioral psychology, habit formation, and monetization strategies are used to create experiences that players can't put down.

You'll explore:

  • The power of near-miss effects, variable rewards, and "loot box" mechanics
  • The blurred line between gaming and gambling in modern design
  • Why ethical game design is often just a marketing strategy
  • The business of addiction - and how it sustains billion-dollar industries

Perfect for game designers, marketers, psychologists, and anyone curious about the intersection of entertainment and exploitation, this book offers a critical look at how games are engineered to drive engagement, spending, and dependence.
