Do you notice that when you play pokies you often get little rushes of excitement? To be entirely honest, this forms a huge part of the reason why people constantly go to a casino or online gambling website to play slots – but why is it there in the first place?

What is the cause of this rush of excitement?

To put it in simple terms, the rush of excitement normally occurs when you win a pot. As soon as you do, you’re bound to feel a small surge of euphoria because you’ve essentially gambled and won.

Partly this euphoria is triggered by the feeling that you’ve ‘won’ and partly it is because you did so while gambling on a certain result that turned out to be right. This is the common rush of excitement that people normally get when they win in pretty much any game of chance – and it is definitely addictive in nature.

However it is worth noting that when you’re playing pokies you might notice a small rush of anticipatory excitement before you spin the reels as well. This is in reaction to the possible outcome and the anticipating that you might win.

Together, both of these surges of emotion are the reason why people throng to a casino or online gambling website to play slots whenever possible, and make no mistake – the casinos are aware of it as well.

Why do you think games of pokies and slots have so many ‘small’ pots that are easy to win? By allowing people to win small pots on a regular basis, they keep providing them with these small rushes of excitement and thus are more likely to keep them playing for longer.

On the other hand if games of pokies only paid out on large pots very irregularly, people would simply get fed up and stop playing.

It is also worth remembering that in pokies the biggest rush that you’ll ever get is when you win the jackpot. Even among other games of chance, this is something that is relatively unique to slots as it is the one game that offers you a shot at winning absolutely massive jackpots while taking an extremely small risk (i.e. placing a small bet).

Of course, the rush of excitement and euphoria that comes when you win the jackpot is something that not everyone experiences – but it is there too!

Next time you’re playing pokies or slots try to notice the rushes of excitement that you feel when you win a pot, and how you anticipate that win as soon as you start to spin the reels. Chances are you’ll appreciate just how potent this feeling really is!
