Casino – casino gaming reduces stress

Shortly after a study showed that online casino games can have a positive influence on the brain and its ability to solve complex tasks, yet another study that supports the theory that Internet games can be good for your health.

In the first study it was the human brain that was a subject of attention. In the new study stress is the subject of attention.

At the McGill University of Montreal they have been measuring test subjects’ level of the stress hormone cortisol while playing poker, and the study showed that people´s average cortisol levels decreased by as much 17% while they played.

But it is not only poker that may seem relaxing. Given the convincing result, the scientific team behind the study thinks that there is good reason to believe that other casino games may have the same positive effect on stress and its side effects.

The research team also points out that casino games seem relaxing because the players engage deeply in the games, and thereby is shutting down from daily chores while playing.
