Recently, we wrote an article about how responsible gaming translates into more fun. Here at Everygame Casino, we feel that playing on our stellar Everygame Mobile platform enhances gaming and reduces the risk of falling into what is commonly called rage.
What is Rage in Modern Society?
In order to fully understand this concept, we have to go back generations and see what people became angry about before modern conveniences were invented and made affordable to the masses.
In the not-so-distant past, people became angry at the weather, people raged when a well went dry, people raged at illnesses that they didn’t understand and for which there were no cures.
Today, some people rage when traffic is too slow for their liking. People rage when they get to a restaurant and find out that they have a 30-minute wait. People rage when the other people at a holiday table do not share their political views. People also rage when they go five losing spins in slots in a row.
In other words, the things that send some modern people into a fit of rage are very different than what made people angry in past centuries.
Here is where mobile casino gaming can soften a gamer’s emotional reaction.
How Can Mobile Ease Excessive Emotional Responses?
We all play on our mobile devices these days. Mobile gaming is by far and away the most popular way to play online casino games. Mobile casino gaming has become so popular and so pervasive that even many land-based casinos now offer a mobile platform in their hotel.
The connection between mobile and one’s ability to stay calm is because mobile is so prominent in every modern way. People realize and internalize all of the benefits of their simple mobile device. We sometimes forget that the app was once a revolutionary idea. It even had a much longer name, application, that was quickly shortened to app as apps became more and more useful.
A person waiting somewhere, such as at an airport, will take out his or her mobile device and play games, scan the news, read something, or use it for any of hundreds of other uses of the simple app.
Many smartphone owners have upward of 50 apps on their phones. So, the phone in itself has so many applications and uses that it tends to reduce stress.
The Medium is the Message
Marshall McLuhan was a Canadian philosopher who had deep insights into the media that were becoming so prominent in everyday life. He coined the phrase “the medium is the message” to show how media extend people’s senses.
McLuhan saw reading as an extension of sight, and all things aural were extensions of hearing. A car was an extension of walking, and an airplane was an enormous extension of walking by making achievable travel that was impossible to achieve by walking.
How Does This Relate to Mobile Casino Gaming?
The mobile device and the casino app that we can download to it are an extension of the land-based casino that we no longer need! The mobile device allows a gamer to take the casino with him or her wherever they go, rather than having to go to a casino in a fixed location.
How Does This Translate into Less Rage?
When Marshall McLuhan was studying media, he didn’t know about mobile technology. He knew about the simple telephone, which was a revolutionary “message” before it became commonplace.
The key element in a mobile casino app reducing rage is that the mobile device is immensely personal in all of the positive ways we can understand that idea.
A car is also personal, but we rage against other drivers who cut us off or stand in our way. Our airline seat is personal, but we might rage against the person sitting next to us, ahead of us, or behind us. People rage against delays that they had no part in causing.
The worst that a mobile app can cause is for a gamer to lose money they preferred not to lose. Thus, we arrive at the idea of responsible gaming and how mobile adds to one’s ability to play responsibly.
Responsible Gaming Via Mobile
We have long held that online casinos are better suited to managing responsible gaming versus land-based casino gaming. We have said that online casinos such as Everygame Casino take the gambling out of casino play and turn it into gaming.
The fact that online casinos are available whenever a gamer is near his or her computer means that players can budget short sessions with small bankrolls for a session. The fact that a mobile casino is always available means that the gamer does not need to commit even 30 minutes to gaming.
A few spins might suffice.
Mobile also enhances gamers' awareness that the games are just games. There is no reason to rage at the vicissitudes of a game. Sure, we all want to win every time, but the winning has to be divided up among all of the players. Thus, a mobile casino gamer knows that, as much as they would like to win every time, they won’t win every time.
This simple observation makes rage a far distant emotional response. If a gamer spins five times on a progressive jackpot slot and doesn’t win the big jackpot, they can simply say, “Maybe next time,” and they can shrug off the disappointment.
