How Casinos Use Psychology to Influence Gamblers

[Stompix]

1. Incentives and Rewards - majority of casinos have this membership card, and so when you play and you used it, you will accumulate points and you can used this points like to get free merchandise from them.
2. Design of casinos - it was really brilliantly crafted by the design itself, very big, no clocks inside, and then the color could have played as well, like gold and red which they say is the lucky color or color of money.

So, this can apply to every chain store out there.
Walmart or Ikea have club membership cards with rewards, none of them have clocks inside, all are well designed, no windows, and so on.
Also red is not the color of money, it's the color of blood, in all of the Western world is seen as dangerous, that's why we have red signs at the crossroads!

Big rewards with small bet amount is the simplified version of what gambling does to attract customers and the gambling itself has long history with human kind like atleast 4000 years so we were used to the system and only thing is evolved according to the current people needs.

No clock, no windows to make people not realise how much time spend is one of the common practice to give immersive feeling but we don't have smartphone to find out the time?

Some gamblers are drawn to casinos because of the incentives and rewards offered as you noted. The rewards for winning, according to them, are what make casinos so appealing. This reward determines whether it is fun or not. Most casino players eagerly await these incentives because they are not always made available to them until after they have participated in casino games for a certain period of time. This is for some gamblers, though.

Some gamblers are unmoved by incentives or rewards. They are only in the casino house to socialize and escape boredom. The instant pleasure they get from competing with others and against the bookies draws them to the casino.

I agree with this. Gamblers will always return to gamble, whether for fun or for money.  Both options require the gambler to continue gambling. People who gamble for fun are drawn to the atmosphere and casino games, whereas gamblers who gamble for money are drawn to how easy it will be to win or how they can manipulate or study the algorithm in order to gain an advantage over the casinos.

When someone focuses on what they are doing, then unknowingly the time they have spent. Sometimes I also feel that way, my feelings say I just went to gamble, but I didn't realize I had spent several hours gambling.

Usually we find things like this a lot, and I have also seen my friends not sleep all night because they are too focused on gambling. Especially when emotions start to mess up our minds, of course this will get even worse.

3. Free drinks/alcohol and then there are live band - So they gave you free drinks and alcohol, but perhaps you make you drunk and so your judgement is clouded and potentially you losing big money. And then there are entertainment, such as live bands performing every hour to keep you inside and watch and have some fun while at the same time losing money.

Maybe you can add to it as what are you think we keep on coming back as if we are under the spell of this big casinos?

Not to talk of how expensive those drinks are when you’re not a regular member there. I doubt if those drinks are free for all customers coming to play game in such big casinos. A casino that gives you more enticing choices and a lot of entertainment, then you must be a very wealthy person to play in such casinos. Playing games while drunk is a very expensive mistake most gamblers do, but I’ve also seen some gamblers that don’t gamble until they’re drunk and feel it’ll give them good fortune more and win games. In all, casinos are always on the profitable end and you can’t ever beat them to lose against you.

In general, casinos are the place for entertainment and as a rule are rather interesting, but I think it is useful and necessary for us to realize our weak sides and what may occur during our visiting. Procuring depending on luck rather than establishing self-control leads to heftier losses that should not have been made. This is wiser if we decide to gamble so that we can be full aware and limit our spending to what we can afford to lose in the process to enable us enjoy the event. In this way gambling stays enjoyable, and we do not lose ourselves within the game.

I am not that generous when it comes to spend so much concious will always reminding me that I shouldn't do something when I am trying to spend money but things differs to every individual mindset.

But I had similar experience with games, I usually spent whole night without realising it's already morning but it's just a young phase of me, now being or trying to be a responsible adult

Well this is a good change, when we have done something bad, then we have to fix it. You can learn from experience so that now you can be more responsible for everything.

I think most people must have been in a bad situation, but some can change it or not. that's what we have to do, we have to realize that what we did was wrong and we have to fix it in the future.

Yep, learning from our own mistake is the best kind of lesson and it's in a bitter way but just shows what will be the circumstance of our action and when we take bad decisions the results will also comes up bad and we have to face them instead of avoiding to get the best out of it and this is not specific to the gambling alone, it's just fit well for our life too.

I agree that many gamblers were drawn to gambling because of the winnings of other gamblers. Most people do not care when such a gambler started gambling or what challenges he or she faced; instead, their minds are preoccupied with the fact that there was a large winning, and they conclude that they, too, can be winners.

No clock, no windows to make people not realise how much time spend is one of the common practice to give immersive feeling but we don't have smartphone to find out the time?

Even when a concerted effort is made to keep time, it still requires discipline. No clock will compel a gambler to leave a gambling house if the gambler chooses not to obey the alarm. So it is possible to set an alarm and not follow it, as well as to not set an alarm but still be conscious of time. So, what matters is not the clock, but rather self-awareness.

We cannot always feel sweet, because there is bitter in our lives. So sweet and bitter will always be side by side and we cannot separate them. Agreed, this is actually a part of our lives.

However, someone who has felt bitterness repeatedly, that person will try to find sweetness. Well, that will be a motivation for us, to find out what mistakes we made so that bitterness always comes.

Every human is a host of various tastes in life and every process inculcate us to take the miracles both the bitter and the sweet. Anger is not the end, but the signal of the fact that there is something that we can still improve. It is unavoidable but the way we have to handle it is the thing which we have to decide.

If bitterness comes round again and again, this is a time to take a critical look at the measures that have been put in place. In doing so, we avoid more errors and repeat them or otherwise, we find new ways to enjoy future success. All of that is our path to a better life and it wouldn’t be fitting to complain all the time about it on my Blog.

The first one is for me the most attractive strategy casinos are really making a lot of players fall into their trap and so as me. Promotions and stuff is very attractive and will literally lure a lot more potential players to sign up because of it as it promises something and little did we know is that we fall for that bait most of the time.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

If the casinos are wise enough in using psychology to attract gambler, then we must also be ready and willing to make use of our own head and brain to understand in details what we want from the things we need when it comes to making choices concerning gambling casinos, we are going to know more better about the true and genuine intentions of these influencers before we take in some of the offers they are promoting for the casinos.

Angry, disappointed, complaining is something that is very natural when we experience bad luck. It is natural for us as humans, so I have no problem with it, because that is also what I sometimes feel.

However, we should not be down and forget how to get up. This should be a motivation for us to be able to achieve something better in the future. Because I believe we will find something we are looking for as long as we do not give up on what we are doing.
