If luck is not with you...
- "Trapped in the vicious circle of the biochemistry of emotions, one may lose control over his or her behaviour."
- Gambling, such as bets and machine gambling which are offered in public, is intended for entertainment and leisure purposes, but it may become an uncontrollable passion.
- That is why gambling carries the risk of the possibility of sliding into uncontrollable behaviour, which may lead to several problems. The gambler invests more and more time and money, the gambling gives the illusion of creating a more bearable life and thus the development of an addiction is not far off.
- It is Forzza's wish to avoid such harmful changes. It is important to take preventive measures as early as possible so that you can take pleasure in the joy and excitement of gambling.
