The existence and importance of excitement in gambling, the effects of runs of wins and losses on gambling behaviour and the relationships of both with sensation-seeking were investigated using samples of students and experienced gamblers in real and artificial gambling situations. Heart-rate increases, gambling behaviour and events such as 'stake decision time' were recorded as subjects played blackjack. Significant differences between real and artificial casinos were found for mean heart-rate increases over base-lines, for gambling behaviour and in the relationships between sensation-seeking, arousal and gambling in the two conditions. Doubt is cast on laboratory gambling as a valid analogue of the real gambling situation. Sensation-seeking and arousal are discussed briefly in relation to explanations of gambling.
通过在真实和模拟赌博情境中对学生和有经验的赌徒样本进行研究，探讨了赌博中兴奋感的存在及其重要性、输赢连续情况对赌博行为的影响，以及二者与寻求刺激之间的关系。在受试者玩21点游戏时，记录了心率增加、赌博行为以及诸如“赌注决策时间”等事件。发现在真实赌场和模拟赌场之间，在基线以上的平均心率增加、赌博行为以及两种情境下寻求刺激、唤醒与赌博之间的关系方面存在显著差异。有人质疑实验室赌博能否作为真实赌博情境的有效模拟。结合对赌博的解释简要讨论了寻求刺激和唤醒。
