Abstract
The study presents a phenomenological analysis of emotional immersion in fun, sport and management games. The analysis leads to some explanatory hypotheses, which answer the title question of the text. They come from some theories of rational action. According to them, two types of emotional immersion can take place: the one that meets the requirements of rationality and the one that does not meet them.
