800-Gambler explains the science behind America’s favorite gambling games:

When a gambler wins some type of reward — whether free spins, bonuses, or the jackpot — dopamine is released in their brain. This chemical heightens their sense of euphoria. It allows them to feel the same way they do after exercising or making love, and they want to experience this feeling again and again, no matter how many losses it takes from them to achieve it.

A lucky person at Mystic Lake Casino got a massive dopamine hit when his slot hit scoring him a huge six figure payday.
