Raschkowan Lecture Series: Gambling in the Digital Age, 2.0

Presenter: Dr. David Zendle, Department of Computer Sciences, University of York (UK)

Talk Abstract:

Loot boxes are items in video games that may be bought for real-world money, but which contain randomized contents. Over the past three years, a nascent literature has emerged which attempts to model the impact of this phenomenon on society. Dr. Zendle's lab has been at the heart of this evidence-generation process.
