What makes games of chance so addictive?

I am sure that some people will have different opinions about being addicted to playing games online while investing money in them. For example, one of my girl friends was rehabilitated because she was so addicted to playing mobile games while using money. We keep on telling her to stop because these mobile games are not legit. To cut a long story short, her mother asked to be rehabilitated because she owes a lot of money to different people now. What is your take on this concern? Image Credit: img.freepik.com

Any addictions are very worrying and very hard to break. I hope the girl is able to get help to stop.

Her mother begged to bring herself to be rehabilitated. As of now, she is in this facility. I hope she can recovered fast because a one-year-old child needs her.

I never do it online. I do like to buy lottery tickets.

I tried one time, but I never won. It makes me stop doing it because of this reason.

I'm afraid of them, I knew woman once who was addicted to horse racing. When she lost it was an awful situation. This was long ago.

I heard so many stories alike. Some of my cousins are in this kind of addiction. They never stopped until they were in debt.
