You can also add free snacks and accommodations to those who want’s to stay longer in the casinos, this can affect gamblers as well and if there’s an offer like that probably they see you as a potential gambler that are willing to spend more.

There’s a lot of things honestly and maybe you can assume that everything in casino came from a psychological study especially with the positioning of the games and the lightings. Casinos wants you to play longer and in order for them to do that, they have to give more freebies and other things just to make you stay, if you’re a weak gambler probably you will fall on this.

Another thing is making the ambiance of the Casino for social gathering.  If one person among a group of friend is a casino regular,  he will suggest that the venue will be on a casino whenever he meet up with his friend.  With that, the group of friend of this casino regular will be curious and eventually try the games in the Casino.  That way casino can have more player.

The placement of light, time and sound that makes us unconscious to play longer and spend our money, regarding the design seems to be in the placement of tables and slot machines. If compared to online casinos, maybe in chat interactions with all members, bonus programs or activities on the site, In my opinion these features make us communicate with each other to feel comfortable.

1. Enticing Design - You know casinos spend a whole lot to ensure that their interiors are exquisite and speak luxury, you always want to come back.

I can relate to this,  but to correct you @op, enticing design definitely makes me spend more money than I should, but it doesn't make me go back there,  what can actually make me go back there is if I enjoyed their services in the first time.

2. Lack of Clocks and Natural Light - No clock means you won't be able to know when it's time to go, the more time you spend, the money you spend.

This one is new and quite fascinating to me,  and I think I agree one hundred percent,  now that I know what this means,  when next i walk into an offline casino,  I am going to ask them why they don't have a wall clock,  let me see what their answer would be   .

The overall design, from exterior to interior to small details and stunning effects are already common things that physical casinos should have. Just like in any other establishment, it was already planned during the construction that the finishing touches should be elegant and can make people's heads turn.

In most cases, physical casinos have decent gamblers on board, where we can say these people belong to a high standard or can we called "rich", casino owners need to level up their casino appearances with lots of comfort features in order to get these type of gamblers.

Not just to get these people thru psychological means but in every business, a wonderful look is a mandatory thing that must have to get a good impression.

With the combination of design and sounds, that's really encouraging and fun to go back to a casino.

I've read too about these things that make a person goes back to a casino and that's why most of the casinos are having those fun sounds that they use for their machines and specific games.

No doubt why many keep on coming back on a casino, physically or virtually due to these factors.

^ Probably this matter of what the experience that they have, if they satisfied on the first day that they went probably that group of people will come back and play again. It includes a cool place, a nice view and of course, many staff women around that could probably gamblers will lure to come. Satisfaction as a customer will most likely people like, they could stay longer in that way especially if a casino threat newcomers like a VIP. However, there are too many ways to lure gamblers to offline casinos, it depends on the marketing team if it will be able to manage the fund that could spend all of these.

You mention one good case, I mean the camaraderie amongst gamblers and even the casino employee themselves. As I have observed that majority of them knows each other already and I was just thinking maybe it was here in this casino that this people meet and maybe became friends outside, who knows. And so they come back, see this people again, have a chat and ask how much they are winning or losing, anything that strikes a combination.

Now I understand that Online casinos are not left out and also apply some psychological tricks on us. The aim of these topic is not to say that it is bad as all businesses have their methods to increase profits, but for us to collectively highlight some psychology that online casinos can use. I have identified some as they are similar to those the articles highlighted as it seemed to be mostly focused on offline casinos, they are;

1. Good and user friendly design.
2. Cashless games is definitely among.
3. Stimulating sounds seem to be one. (Please add to the list)

1. I don't know if design is a trick at all since I do not like the interface of some casinos. I find it to bright or feels too heavy for my eyes.
2. You wouldn't call it online if it's not cashless right? Casinos also give you the option to display balance in fiat so that means you can still monitor them.
3. It doesn't affect me at all since I play on mute most of the time.

In physical casinos, the temptation is big to continue betting because they have loan sharks around to sustain your pocket whenever you want it, now you cannot find loan sharks online you have no choice but to log off.
In physical casinos, the ambiance and the crowd, and the perks of just being there will make you continue to stay even if you don't have money anymore, compared to online casinos where you just log off because you don't have money that you can use to bet, between the two physical casinos has a lot of psychological tricks for you to bet all your money or even loan, the location, and the atmosphere will exhaust your pocket and beat your resistance.

I would say that ... it's all about marketing!
Or else yeah you can call it a psychological tricks or whatever , the point is that you are trying to sell your products/ services and of course you need to treat your potential customer as great as possible otherwise they might won't generate you a single penny.

Just an ordinary marketing move. It seems exaggerrating to blame on casino who looks force us to play.

One of my all time favourite games I play whenever I visit online casinos are slots. Therefore, for me one of the Psychological tricks that I think online casinos use that may sound strange is the use of relatable themes for slot games. I mean from Ancient Egypt, Movie, Music, Adventure to Horror, and Space slots. I am always subconsciously drawn to them especially if I had seen relatable during the day.

It's not only in casinos really, most businesses would have a trick or two that they do when it comes to say, arranging their products, the order that the customers see from when they enter to the very end kind of thing.

3. Cashless Games - You buy credit for slots or chips, so you also may not be able to keep track of your money.

Basically how arcades work. It also dulls their sense of money since you don't get money in return in some of their games, you get tickets instead which you can redeem with. Since they don't have a clear translation for how much each ticket is worth, it kind of just goes ignored and let's people enjoy the game without minding it. I think some of the simpler tricks that you'd see would be the prizes and promos that they have that make you think you're at an advantage by redeeming it, but it's actually all the same for them. Also in irl casinos, you'd see that most of them has this like party going kind of atmosphere which influences you're mood in a positive way even if you're losing.

It's hard not to fall on land-based casinos they have everything to make you stay and forget everything in the outside world, like food entertainment like a band inside the casino venue, and of course, wine and energy drinks, and these are all free they target the mindset of the individual to just keep enjoying and let the hours fly away, of course, your money also, I have been to these kinds of casinos and the hours just fly away without me noticing it.

On online casinos as long as you have the money you can stay, one of the tricks of online casinos to make you stay on the site are tips and faucets they may be small but it compels you to wage more if you're winning using funds coming from faucets.

And that's why casinos will offer a venue for meetings and the gambler will have it decided that it seems to be a good place for such meetings and gatherings.
That will really encourage customers to use that place of theirs and eventually if it happens, the invited guests are going to get curious about the games and then soon, they're the next potential customers.

We are talking about physical casinos and not online ones which there's soo much difference when it comes to ambiance and real experiences in between them thats why if we do talk about physical casinos then it would be

always pertaining about having no windows, having no clocks, having those beautiful women around and other things which make people do stay up on the venue which it would really be just normal for a business owner

to place up all of those things as long it could really give out positive impact towards its business.These are the typical ones and others been mentioned by other members as well which we do know
that it is effective and been used up by this industry for ages now.

Once we pass by a casino, for sure we will not consider at least visiting them if they don't have good appearances right? For me, those are not psychological tricks but rather an important component for the casino business to attract people to visit their site.

That's a thing to be prioritized since gamblers want a comfortable view while doing gambling.

Gamblers also want a relaxed environment that's why interior designs should give that feeling to all gamblers playing there.

Slots games are really entertaining and many gamblers are attracted if the slot machines have its own unique sound and design, probably you can see most of the slot games are with the gamblers. This kind of strategy are very effective on every casinos, they used a psychological tricks so the gamblers will be force to keep on playing. Some other things aside from this is their promotions, they give more rewards if the gambler spend more, this can be more attractive on the side of a gambler.

I find it common when talking about the design and strategy of the physical casino and the malls itself since most of them are almost the same. They have a good interior design that will make you comfortable plus there are no clocks and windows although there are no free seats but if you go to the food store there's a lot of them. I guess it's to prevent people from staying in one place that would most likely not gonna attract to the other stores while the casino they have seats but only available in every table or machine that you want to play.

A land-based casino has a different atmosphere that is very different from all the places that you visited to get entertained all of these is to make you feel at home, they offer free drinks, food, and entertainment so you forget the outside world I read in one article that some gamblers can stay in casinos for weeks or even months because they have a hotel nearby, that is why many casinos are located inside the hotels, they both make profit from the presence of gamblers, of course on an online casino you can play whenever you want to play you don't have to dress up or the need to drive if you have the urge you are one click away, and that's already a big temptation.
