The aim of the present study is to compare the motivations for gambling and the emotions felt while gambling in three different subgroups: scratch card gamblers, slot\u2010machine gamblers, and casino gamblers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three versions of a questionnaire have been distributed in a casino, in scratch card vendors, and slot\u2010machines venues. All versions included sociodemographic variables, the two\u2010question Lie\u2010Bet instrument, a scale for motivations toward gambling, and a list of positive and negative emotions felt while gambling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0425, F 47.5%) are gamblers potentially pathological (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0162, 38.1%) and not (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0263, 61.9%). Different games seem connected to different motivations and emotions: the scratch gamblers show less Coping and Social Motivation and experience less Negative Emotion. However, the motivation and emotion most intensely experienced by the gamblers (Enhancement and the Positive Emotions) do not show differences between the different types of games.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The pathological gamblers have a more intense and internal connection with the game (have more Enhancement and Coping motives, Positive and Negative Emotion). In sum, our findings support the theoretical hypothesis that gambling can be a tool for regulating emotions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.3416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,7]],"date-time":"2024-03-07T10:49:43Z","timestamp":1709808583000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Emotions and motivations of gambling: A comparison between scratch card, slot\u2010machines, and casino gamblers"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4021-3508","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Ferro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social and Human Sciences (SHS) University of Aosta Valley  Aosta Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Grazia","family":"Monaci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social and Human Sciences (SHS) University of Aosta Valley  Aosta Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Scacchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social and Human Sciences (SHS) University of Aosta Valley  Aosta Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.puhe.2020.04.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","unstructured":"Accise A. &Monopoli D.
