Secondhand smoke, for example, has known damaging effects to the body. This makes me wonder what about watching streamers gamble? All those slots are super professionally designed to be fast-paced, exciting, and addicting. So would this kind of “secondhand” gambling increase risk of addiction, decrease attention span since slots are so fast paced, and have other negative effects?

The most blatant one is that it draws other people into the addiction. Watching someone else get the highs of gambling also entices other people to experience that high. This is particularly troublesome for streamers who gamble on stream to a younger audience.
Things like decreased attention span aren’t caused by “second hand” gambling. Fast-paced gambling like slots are attractive *to* people with short attention spans and need the simulation of the win.
