Following Spivey's pivotal discovery of a recurrence relation for Bell numbers, significant research has emerged concerning various generalizations of Bell numbers and polynomials. For example, Kim and Kim established a Spivey-type recurrence relation specifically for degenerate Bell and Dowling polynomials. In this paper, we extend this work by deriving a probabilistic generalization of Spivey-type recurrence relations for both degenerate Bell and degenerate $ r $-Bell polynomials.
