The project investigates the current attempts to regulate slot gaming in Germany, which explicitly aim at combating the social problem of “gambling addiction". The objective is to reconstruct the process empirically and to analyse how social control is initiated and institutionally implemented, how the affected players and companies react to the control approaches and which obstacles to implementation and evasive movements can be observed. In the analysis of current transformations in the field of commercial gambling, the project pursues the perspective of a (constructivist) sociology of social problems and bases its interpretation of the collected data partly on content-analytical, partly on hermeneutical methods as well as on discourse analysis based on sociology of knowledge. With regard to gambling, the project not only deals with an area of social reality that has so far been widely neglected by (German-speaking) sociology, but at the same time wants to make a contribution to satisfying the continuing need for an appropriate concept of social control in an increasingly digitalized world.

该项目调查了目前在德国规范老虎机游戏的尝试，该尝试明确旨在与“赌博成瘾”的社会问题作斗争。目的是通过经验重建该过程，并分析如何启动和制度地实施社会控制，受影响的参与者和公司如何对控制方法的反应以及可以观察到哪些实施和逃避运动的障碍。在分析商业赌博领域的当前转型时，该项目追求了社会问题的（建构主义）社会学的观点，并基于其对收集的数据的解释部分基于内容分析，部分是基于解释性方法，以及基于知识社会学的话语分析。关于赌博，该项目不仅涉及到目前为止的社会现实领域，该领域被（德语）社会学广泛忽略了，而且同时也希望做出贡献，以满足日益数字化的世界中对社会控制的持续概念的持续需求。
