The benefits of games and gambling. Personal experience.
An interesting article "The second attempt will not. What managers are not learning, playing computer games. ”Published in Gazette.
“For three years in the Russian multiplayer online game DestinySphere, the PsiCorp clan was considered one of the most dangerous: it seized resources, won wars, expanded its social influence. The clan consisted of about a hundred people, one of its creators, as well as a coordinator for foreign policy and intelligence, was a user with the inconspicuous nickname stmd. Pavel Pavlyukov was hiding behind him, while he was a private entrepreneur, and now the general director of the Ivanovo Internet provider Severtelekom. ”
Other positive examples in the article are from IBM, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Stanford University.

The text of the article in Vedomosti for July 24, 2007, and personal experience below.
Personal experience, however, is strictly negative.
The first time I got hooked on the game year in 1985-86 (+ - 2 years). It was a Digger, by car which brand I can not remember. Time, fortunately, was limited, but several sessions of several hours caused vivid pictures in memory and trembling in the fingers for another six months.
In the late 80s he played a lot on his own Sinclair Spectrum, but there were no serious dependencies, he was happy to switch to programming in the built-in basic.
I bought for a non-resident comrade the newest computer (Pentium 1, probably) and, as a test, played about 6 hours in the Heretic without stopping. A few days after going to the institute, I looked around the corner and abruptly turned around at the rustle.
The next time covered in 1997. Instead of preparing for the defense of a diploma, trampled insidious NODs in Command & Conquer on 386 machines. Crawling all very slowly, but fascinating. A couple of weeks went by in an almost zombie state - 4-6 hours of play per day / night and pictures from the game in between. This period, fortunately, quickly ended - he even went to the army with relief. For several days he mentally drove the tanks across the painted floor of the barracks, and then new impressions drove the game out.
In the army, by the way, glanced at the real gamers. He worked in accounting or financial department as a civilian, aged 23-24, he had something wrong with the musculoskeletal system and was very uncommunicative himself, but he was good at computers. Somehow there was no electricity for several days, I went to headquarters and saw how he walked through the corridors, with an absent view, sifting through his fingers and looking unhappy, although in the connected state - quite adequate.
Now the only game I play is balls on a PDA. It is difficult to sit on it, but it still interferes. When I do something difficult or difficult to make a call, I’ll take the communicator and I will play balls for 2-3 games. And when tired, it turns out not 2-3, but 10, you lose 20 minutes. Maybe this is a rest, but somehow disgusting for the lost time. It would be better to sing in chorus or wring out 20 times.
I wish everyone to play, but do not flirt!
