casino addiction
Compulsive wagering disorder
Casino addiction is a compulsive need to gamble at casinos despite harmful consequences.
The environment—flashing lights, free drinks, no clocks—is deliberately designed to encourage continued play.
Someone with a casino addiction may chase losses, lie about gambling, or neglect responsibilities: His casino addiction cost him his marriage and his savings.
