Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slot machines reward players on a variable ratio schedule, meaning there is no fixed number of plays required to receive a reward. This creates a sense of unpredictability and excitement that keeps players engaged and makes it difficult for them to walk away. Fixed ratio and fixed interval schedules provide less reinforcement and are less effective at maintaining behavior. Variable interval schedules may also contribute to continued play, but to a lesser extent than variable ratio schedules.
