La Strimpelli suona a Barga contro il gioco d’azzardo, abbiamo decine di vizi migliori da suggerire, vi aspettiamo lunedì 14 Agosto in pista Onesti con Ammoreee!!!
Il gioco d’azzardo patologico (definito anche azzardopatia o genericamente e impropriamente ludopatia) è un disturbo del comportamento rientrante nella categoria diagnostica dei disturbi del controllo degli impulsi.
AN initiative in Barga Giardino this evening to highlight a growing problem some people have with slot machines. Compulsive machine gamblers — not the folks playing social games around a table, such as poker, but those who play alone at electronic slot-machine terminals. For a small percentage of the population, these games become an all-consuming pursuit, a way of shutting out the world and its problems for long, long stretches of time.
But eventually, most compulsive machine gamblers recognize the hold that high-tech gaming has come to have over them.
“I could say that for me the machine is a lover, a friend, a date, but really it’s none of those things; it’s a vacuum cleaner that sucks the life out of me, and sucks me out of life.”
A slot machine (American English), informally fruit machine (British English), puggy (Scottish English slang), the slots (Canadian and American English), poker machine (or pokies in slang) (Australian English and New Zealand English) or simply slot (American English), is a casino gambling machine with three or more reels which spin when a button is pushed.
Slot machines are also known as one-armed bandits because they were originally operated by one lever on the side of the machine as distinct from a button on the front panel, and because of their ability to leave the player in debt and impoverished.
