Crash & Aviator: why they're so addictive

You think you can "read" the multiplier and cash out at the perfect moment. That feeling of skill is fake, but very powerful.

Each round lasts only seconds, creating a constant dopamine drip like slots. It's very easy to lose track of time.

Sometimes you win small, sometimes big, sometimes you lose it all. That random reward schedule is one of the most addictive there is.

You cash out right before it crashes and think "I almost made it" — so you keep playing to "fix" it.
