• Monitoring and evaluation:Assessments of participants' gambling behavior are conducted regularly to allow for timely adjustments to intervention strategies.

In terms of prevention, advocacy at the community level is as important as policy development. Governments and relevant institutions should promote policies in the following areas:

the Way ‍Forward

In this paper, we delve into the addictive characteristics of the classic gambling game of craps and its influencing factors. From game mechanism to psychological motivation, the coexistence of excitement and risk posed by Sic Bo makes it a complex research object. Synthesizing the results of various studies, we find that both the players' social background, psychological state, and the gaming environment influence the possibility of addiction to varying degrees.

Through a combination of analysis of relevant literature and case studies, this study hopes to provide a valuable perspective for understanding the addictive nature of craps and other similar gambling games. In addition, this paper also emphasizes the importance of social support and interventions in preventing gambling addiction.

Future research could further explore the impact of emerging technologies on the game, such as how the rise of online platforms is changing the way players participate and their addictive behaviors. It is hoped that the analysis in this paper will inform researchers and policy makers in related fields and promote further understanding of and responses to gambling addiction.
