My dopamine reaction rarely activates when it comes to gambling—flashy coin machines just don’t excite me. Has anyone experienced this disinterest due to its inherent unfairness?
Hey Felix, I totally get what you’re saying. I’ve never been really drawn to those flashy machines either — it’s like they just don’t trigger that buzz for me. I reckon it might have to do with seeing the whole house edge thing over and over; it kinda takes the fun out when you know it’s a losing game in the long run. Instead, I find a little joy in other more interactive or skill-based challenges, you know? Not everyone gets that dopamine hit with randomness, and that’s perfectly cool 
in my experiense, gambling has always felt more like a chore then a real challenge. the typical flashy setup doesn’t conjure excitement for me either as i tend to look for activities that require more advanced strategic thinking. i’ve found that the underlying mechanics of the games, often designed to favour the house, discourages any sense of genuine risk. this systematic advantage erodes the allure and makes it easier to see that the supposed thrill is often just an illusion of choice. the balance just never feels right.
hey felix, i feel when the game seems rigged it kinda zaps any thrill - it’s like the fun is taken out when u see the odds isn’t fair. sometimes it’s just not that exciting.
Hey Felix, I feel you on this one. Personally, I’ve never quite gotten the same rush out of those glitzy machines as some folks do. There’s something a bit off when you constantly know that the odds are stacked against you—like it’s more of a mechanical trick than a fun challenge. I’ve always preferred activities where my own decisions really make the difference, you know? It’s refreshing to not be drawn into chasing a win that’s almost guaranteed to be slim. At the end of the day, if a game doesn’t light up your excitement, it’s totally cool to look for something that genuinely does
