It's like playing against yourself: You are the machine; the machine is you."There's that word again: hypnotized, like Stone's grandmother. Many gamblers used variations on the phrase.

The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz."Schüll sees a twist on this phenomenon in front of the new slot machines of Vegas, which incorporate tiny squirts of seeming control to amp up their feedback loops. But instead of the self-fulfillment and happiness that Csíkszentmihályi describes,As you can imagine, a number of third-party solutions have sprung up to fill the gap. For example, there are software products, such as USB Redirector, and hardware products like the Network-attached stainless steel kitchenware. many gamblers feel deflated and sad about their time on the slots.
