Addiction by Design is a book that takes a really comprehensive look at slot machine design it’s pretty wild how much thought is put into it and this is before ML became practical, I’m sure casino company’s are leveraging it now.
- mschuster91 9y agoI remember reading an article years ago where a video-poker machine manufacturer "trained" the machine using real playing behavior of famous poker stars...

More or less illegal online casinos however are the new Wild West of the gambling industry.
