Gambling dopamine anticipation chemical

[Flatzem]

Was doing some reading about dopamine and when it comes to gambling that when we have something happen during a session such as a win we get rewarded with dopamine hits but

during a session you can get plenty of these reward hits even if the session ends up being a losing session and then there is the anticipation and the more anticipation the more dopamine reward.

As I am doing some search engine searching about dopamine, one of the results says that scientists are renaming dopamine the anticipation molecule/chemical because it's shown that dopamine is also released in large amounts when we anticipate a pleasurable experience. So how about those times when two scatters land and you need one more scatter,  anticipation is there. But there are times when the feature is triggered and the anticipation for a big feature win. Or a max megaways only to be end up with a zero payout.

There is no logic when it comes to dopamine rewards, you can get rewarded even in the case of a spin that returns 0.20 for a 0.50 stake spin. If there is a winning sound made and word win 0.20 on the screen gets flashed. How about if they were honest about it and would say you lose 0.30 and no sound made.  You will get rewarded with dopamine even if you spent 50 usd/eur on spins to get a feature triggered and it pays far less than what you spent. So then you spent 50 but get paid 15 for a feature still 35 down. Now what. You got dopamine cause there's no logic but then you seek to get another feature or you leave on a feature and feel good that you had a win at end of it. But still down 35.

Every addiction, gambling, *****, whatever produces dopamine AND serotonin.

The money and research some company's spend on making you an addict are overwhelming.

EA, Electronic Arts uses casino originated influences in their games like FIFA to stimulate addiction and spending money, that's mainly why they lost their license to use the name FIFA.

That's why online casino's with too fresh, too good looking web design should be evaluated even more because colors, sound, placement of items and what they display contribute heavily on your state of mind.
