Abstract:

Gambling has been on the rise over the past years and understanding different patterns of the human behavior while gambling involves the identification of the emotions experienced while gambling, as well as how these change during a gambling activity. This work attempts to address these components towards the creation of a computational model of gambling experience. Specifically, we created a gambling game (roulette) and evaluated the interaction of participants with the game by assessing their emotional responses using the video modality. This work provides the basis for developing a multimodal interface that can help capturing the gambling experience. Within our research we attempt to answer the following research questions: (a) which are the emotions experienced by someone gambling and (b) how do the emotions detected change before and after an event.
