Medicine for Gambling Addicts

Slot Machines for the Rats

The tireless efforts of medical expert to find a drug to cure for gamblers from their urges to gamble had been most admirable. SavySeph believes in a mental cure for mental addiction.

Psychologist from the University of British Columbia, Canada (UBC) had taught rats to gamble using a simulated slot machine. The rats push a lever to spin and lights will be illuminated. If a winning combination was the outcome, they would be rewarded with sugar pallets.

Like humans, the rodents never learn from heartache of near wins because they keep selecting the almost win choices to cash-out. This near win can be very addictive in gambling and had been the inherent features of slot machines.

    1. It is scary to think rats can pick up human's bad gambling habits. Are these natural instincts?

    2. Humans can't be compared to rats where gambling is concerned. Individualism makes them different. As SavySeph said, it "will backfire on some personality types".

  2. Unhappy rats won't gamble but some unhappy people turn to gambling. I think this type of drug will backfire on some personality types.
