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.

该项目调查了德国目前对老虎机游戏进行监管的努力，这些努力的明确目的是打击“赌博成瘾”的社会问题。其目的是重建经验的过程，并分析社会控制是如何启动和机构实施，如何受影响的球员和公司的反应，控制方法和执行和规避运动的障碍，可以观察到。在分析商业赌博领域的当前变革时，该项目追求社会问题（建构主义）社会学的视角，并将其对收集到的数据的解释部分基于内容分析，部分基于解释学方法以及基于知识社会学的话语分析。关于赌博，该项目不仅涉及到迄今为止被（德语）社会学广泛忽视的社会现实领域，同时还希望为满足日益数字化的世界中对适当的社会控制概念的持续需求做出贡献。
