I'm not a gambler, but I read Dostoevsky's novel, The Gambler, Dostoy himself being a roulette player, so there is probably a lot of truth in here about the way people think at casinos.

Late in the novel, while the narrator is on a winning streak, he describes the compulsion to play on and on, rather than stop and bank his winnings. He says that the soul (or spirit) becomes so overstimulated and irritated by the thrill of winning that it is no longer able to feel satisfied, so people keep betting until they are ruined.
