Resumen

Introducción: Las cajas botí­n, presentes en muchos videojuegos, son artí­culos que contienen recompensas (vir­tuales o monetarias) apreciadas por los jugadores. Las cajas pueden comprarse con dinero real y el resultado que se obtiene es aleatorio. Actualmente existe controversia sobre si la existencia de estas cajas puede favorecer un comportamiento de abuso de los videojuegos o generar problemas similares a los producidos por los juegos con apuestas monetarias. El objetivo de esta revisión fue analizar los estudios empí­ricos que han investigado estos po­sibles efectos. Método: Se realizó una búsqueda en Medline, ScienceDirect, Scopus y WoS. Un total de 22 artí­culos cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Resultados: Se encontró una relación significativa entre el uso de cajas botí­n, los problemas de juego con apuesta y el abuso de videojuegos. Además, a mayor gasto en cajas botí­n se en­contró una mayor gravedad de los problemas de juego. Conclusiones: El gasto en cajas botí­n puede incrementar los problemas de juego, y las personas con problemas de juego pueden mostrar predilección por los videojuegos con cajas botí­n. Se requieren estudios longitudinales para clarificar la dirección de la relación entre la compra de cajas botí­n, los problemas de juego y el abuso de videojuegos.
