Land based casino creates more problem gambling?
 March 2, 2009, 5:08 am (2 years ago)Throughout the economic slump and under a payment prohibition, the number of US players has been steadily growing. But some specialists believe the Internet gambling trend might in fact lead to less cases of problem gambling.
Social worker and obsessive gambling specialist Howard Slayton explains, "Land casinos produce a surroundings that envelopes the customer, causes detachment from authenticity and opening up avenues for problem gambling urges to take over. But online casinos have no such impression. Every detail at brick-and-mortar casinos is intended in minute detail to attract in players and entrap them. Bells and whistles confuse while giving a ghostly air to gambling floors, lending a delusion of escape to a multicolored and inviting world. Clocks and windows are absent, preventing the sudden inoculation of reality they might produce."
