 Smartphones, like PCs before them, are high-performance computers with no clear destination. This makes them the "Swiss army knife" of gadgets - they can be used for a great variety of things, from work to entertainment. As such, they sound like the perfect tool to fight stress - especially considering the amazing variety of games available for them. Millions of players all around the world relieve stress at Royal Vegas free online casino or use other similar games to unwind after a long day at work. Royal Vegas games are known to be simple, eye-catching, and helpful in focusing people's attention on something else than the events of the day. This is especially true for Royal Vegas slot machines that can send their players' minds into "the zone" for a while. But the question still remains: are mobile games the right way to de-stress? Let's see what science has to say about the matter.

Video games and stress relief

Video games have been called a lot of things in the decades that have passed since their emergence. They have been accused of skewing the morals of younger generations by trivializing the killing of enemies on-screen. Only when serious science has started to look into the matter was it revealed that the effect of video games on the mind is the exact opposite. Instead of inciting the players to repeat their on-screen actions in real life, it helps them release the pressure, re-focus their attention to a different area, and keep their minds occupied.

Games and personalities

Today, especially in countries that are considered "developed", there are many who have a so-called "Type A" personality. These people usually find it hard to unwind, to "sit still", to keep their mind off their duty or work, even when at home. For people with this type of personality, a video game is a source of challenge, a different kind of stress, that keeps the mind occupied. But not all video games work in such situations. Some games are perfect stress-relievers but others are a source of even more of it, making things worse. According to studies, the games that work best are those that are easy to get started, that have nothing to do with real life, and that don't take too much time and dedication to play. In short, casual games, puzzles, and slot machines like the ones you can play at the Royal Vegas should do the trick. MMOs, role playing games, and similar game types are great and all, being immersive and complex, but they are not the perfect choice for a quick de-stress. Games like Quake Champions, Unreal Tournament, and similar titles, might work far better, though, helping players quickly relieve the pressure and release the steam.
