Moderate-Risk and Problem Slot Machine Gamblers: A Typology of Gambling-Related Cognitions

Abstract: Cognitive distortions are said to play a key role in the development and maintenance of problem gambling, as well as in its treatment. Toneatto’s (1999, 2002) typology of gambling distortions provides a useful conceptualization of gambling-related cognitions, although game-type specification is absent from his analysis. Toneatto’s categorization was used in the present study to organize the beliefs of 43 slot machine gamblers experiencing either moderate-risk or problem gambling, recruited and interviewed in T… Show more

“…The gambling experience described by the study's participants seemed to edge towards religious expression and experience, especially given their persistent and unwavering intuitive faith and need for a higher moral order.

Being 'due for a win,' instead, reflects notions of moral worth, she explained.…”

“…These three categories are similar to those identified by Toneatto, 29 while the other two categories, including gambling-related expectancies (GRCS-GE) and perceived inability to stop gambling (GRCS-IS), were similar to the cognitions detected in the creation and maintenance of substance use problems. 30 , 31 …”
