How Casinos Use Psychology to Influence Gamblers

[Wexnident]

1 is basically the same across every type of business that wants to retain its customers. Even supermarkets have them, and they sell necessities! I guess if I were to add more to it, I'd say the socialization factor? Like you can talk to other people, socialize with them, share a couple of drinks and stuff like that. That's for me personally an attraction, though I think it depends on the casino type? Afaik there are casinos where the place is just littered with slots machines. Those kinds of casinons you'd barely have anyone to talk to since it's only you and the machine lol.

If we talk of psychology, casinos don't even have to provide incentives and rewards, carefully make a sophisticated design, provide free drinks, and whatnot. Gambling I guess is part of our human nature. Gambling itself is enough for people to get attracted to it. To a certain extent, gambling is a necessity. If there was no gambling, it would have to be invented, discovered, whatever. It cannot not be there.

So the list is just a bonus. Even in dirty and disorderly gambling houses where all of it doesn't exist, there are still patrons. The reason is is gambling itself.

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?

If a gambler is attracted to the benefits that a casino usually offers to gamblers, it is likely that he will face the most problems. Because giving you more leverage will trick your brain into gambling more, and if you drink alcohol along the way, you'll experience more devastating losses. Because the more alcohol you drink, the better you will feel, but the more you drink, the more dangerous it will be.
 Because you won't realize what you're doing, you'll instantly be spinning blind and you'll be more drawn to gambling. So we must get out of such a place because gambling addicts are usually in favor of this approach, so we should stay away from addiction as much as possible.

There are many things that attract people and allow them to feel the festive atmosphere, even if they lose. For example, there may be beautiful girls, a very elegant setting, no clocks on the walls and even curtained windows so that the player does not pay attention to the time. I heard that sometimes for rich clients they can even make a separate room for living with all the amenities. This is done so that the player can more easily part with money while in the casino and feel completely relaxed.

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. I even have been given free hotel accommodation.

for me this one is really getting the attention of gamblers reason they still keep coming back to the casinos,  wherein what the benefits of the members can get after all, especially if the casinos offers free daily rewards to bet coz it's a plus for a lot of gamblers .infact on such offer  it's a big advantage for them to have a chance making money without spending again.

Actually mostly casino's even through online, it's very common and yes a good benefits for all gamblers , especially those who can afford to spend a lot of money coz they can still playing using their rewards.

Actually I have read through your points but I don't see much difference between casino and some other companies In terms of promotion, hospitality, or good management to their customers. As far as I know casino is just doing those things to promote their Market just as other company does. Drinking alcohol is at anybody's Risk wether to drink to stupor or to drink responsibly doesn't have anything to do with casino. Even if casino offers free drink or live band they don't force anyone to use that medium to drink and gamble out their money, but individual have their differences some will likely to straight to gamble imidiately they are drunk to try luck which is not good. They usually see that moment as an opportunity to win big, but don't know it's the most risky time to gamble. Even though some may be opportuned to win big during that period, but not many will be lucky. I believe certainly that anything that happens to a gambler is %90 of their fault because gamble don't come to you, rather you go to gamble.

If that is a land base casinos, that will be enough to makes gamblers return many times and very often to that casinos. People doesn't want to miss the chance to get free stuff from the casino so they will come back to casino and try to get it. They will not thinks about the money that they will use because they only thinks that when they can get the stuff from the casino and they still playing gambling in there, they will get more stuff because they already see the lists of what they can get. It is influence the gamblers to return to casinos very often without thinks about what will happens to them. It is why we as a gambler must be wise when we see the offers from the casino and that will happen whether in land base casinos or online casino.

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.

You will also notice that the music at most casinos are exciting and lively. Same noise for machines where it is loud and makes someone feel as if they just hit the jackpot. These sounds also play a huge part in how a person feels. When they are in a good mood, they are more likely to stay.

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?

Even though it is all random, I heard that casinos like to design their machines to show near misses. If for example playing in a slot machine and only one symbol doesn’t line up, this may give the gambler the idea that they are close to winning therefore must continue to play.

Comp clubs makes up part of the wins in offline casinos. There have better services to offer gamblers; accomodations, food, etc paid with points gotten from the number of games played. So the players gamble more to win those points. The settings in casinos is to maximize sales, which works.

However, aside the physical designs, the psychology behind a gambler's consistency is money and excitement.

[Ricardo11]

The prospect of winning quick money in a casino easily attracts a gambler. Casinos attract gamblers in a variety of ways, once someone enters the casino, he can no longer stay in a normal state, he is attracted to the casino. And because of the convenience in the casino, the gambler becomes more addicted to the casino.

gambling and casinos can easily lead gamblers into addiction. When a gambler loses money in a casino, the casino's girl staff, encourage the gambler, Assuring him to win big money, As a result the gambler gambles more. and they can't get out of the casino even after losing money.

These are the traps of those casinos, we should stay away from casinos as much as possible. Casino addiction is very dangerous and it is very difficult to get out of this addiction. And these slowly slowly lead to your downfall.

I've been fascinated on how casinos really attracted gamblers on the games that they have that people come back for more even if they lose money. I'm talking about land base casinos here as it is really very attractive and the atmosphere are different.

So from what I observed, there are some that I think that might add to it's aura that's why we do play on them.

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. I even have been given free hotel accommodation.

Assuming I reside in your country, I would have definitely love spending some time and money in these casinos if they have these packages as I can only imagine how irresistible visiting them has become. Here in my country, you only find these incentives in some elite casinos that is not opened to everyone but the elites only and located in the big cities. Instead of land based casinos, online casino is popular and preferred here because of the convenience they offer. The few land base casinos are appearing old fashion because of lack of innovation in their management.

[Hirose UK]

On average, land-based casinos that have grown and developed with various updates to all game machines in more modern way must do all that to be able to have loyal customers, all of which will be the same with the aim of only getting loyal customers who always come at all times to spend their money.
I don't know if there is civilization that has changed with the return of land-based casinos and making everyone switch but what is clear is that now online casinos are always the destination of most gamblers, many various offers of benefits are offered by land-based casinos but online casinos are also always superior with offers that are much more attractive, I haven't been to gambling houses for long time and don't know much about their developments for now.

[nara1892]

To be honest, I am not a gambler who makes land-based casinos a favorite because the crowd is an atmosphere that I don't really like, but of course I have visited them.
And from what you said, what interests me is a casino that does not provide clocks in the room, the purpose of which is almost the same as their purpose when providing various alcoholic drinks, namely to make a gambler forget the time and also to make the gambler lose consciousness until in the end, without realizing it, he loses most of his money.

On the other hand, for the main question you asked about what makes gamblers keep coming back and playing, I think there are quite a few factors that trigger it, but what is certain is that the inability to accept the fact of defeat is the main factor that makes gamblers keep coming back with the intention and goal of returning the previous defeat they experienced.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

As you say, everything has been extensively studied to maximise the possibility of the customer betting, and betting a lot. An example would be slots games, which are perfectly designed, including the sound, to make you want to keep playing more and more. Also, putting hot girls as dealers, on the bar or in images around, is used on purpose because the part of the brain that controls risk is the same as the part that controls sex (or so I heard).

The 2 that you shared can also be applied on an online casino as well.

Incentives and rewards - nowadays, we know that online casinos are offering bonuses on first timers. moreover, they are offering rakebacks to those who have gambled X amount of money in their website. There are some who are offering free spins and an X amount of percentage increase on their first deposit. There are many ways that these online casinos are offering just to attract gamblers.

Design of casinos - you said most of it already, but I will add something that I also see on a gambling casino. The sound effects on every bet are very alluring. They're very attractive, and the sound effects is acting like a booster in your brain. I mean if you hear those sounds, you will think that you want to gamble even more, and more.

The 3rd one isn't applicable on an online casino of course, but I know that there are some gamblers here that are gambling on a physical casino that can share their own experience there. Unfortunately, we are living on a province where there are no physical casinos at all although I've seen some of it already when we went to a city. For these casinos, psychology is a big factor for them because that would determine whether they will make money or not. They will play with your mind hoping that you will gamble more and more money.

All casinos will definitely make a promotion or something else, it is their way to make users feel comfortable or users feel at home to always play at the casino they have.
But you are right, it seems that online casinos are now more in demand, although I also do not know whether this is true or not, but what I see now is like that. Easy access to play at online casinos is one of the reasons. How not, we don't have to leave the house and drive to the casino, we can do it in the room. That cuts down on time, because some people don't have much time to go to offline casinos.

.

You're definitely correct, yes most land based casinos do these inorder to get more customers to gamble at ease, to make sure they are comfortable aside the fact that they make losses while playing some games, for fun and entertainment, but it's very necessary for the gambler to understand all this means are driven to make them have more influence in gambling at their leisure so anyone visiting such casino that offer such comfortable environment should be rest assured to get a negative report always other than positive.

If we're talking about using psychology to influence customers to come back again, I don't think that it's only in fancy casinos. Like you noted, supermarkets also put up beautiful ambiances to attract customers to come back again. So having a very fanciful place with class is a strategy that businesses use to attract their customers with delightful experiences. The customers will be happy to spend more and come again to spend more money. I've never been to a fancy casino before but from what I see on TV, like Vegas casinos, I'm really looking forward to having the experience. Being a responsible gambler should be a decision of the gamblers, if they let themselves to be carried away by the conducive atmosphere inside the casinos and lose all their money, they can't blame anyone.

[btc78]

This is about physical casino I believe as yeah free drinks(coffee/alcohol) and yeah the live band that will entertain you while playing .

This is psychological approach and indeed that this made me feel welcome and enjoying the casino houses that I visit these past years.

And also I believe that this is normal and yeah many of us have bitten this bait and yeah how many gamblers struggles to deny this chances .

I would add to your list the flourish of the musical accompaniment inside gambling spots that attract people who ^{(like me)} are with a penchant for music.  I'm always thrilled seeing the  jazz combo on the stage and sometimes go to casino with the special purpose to listen to their music. The gambler who is gambling inside casino for sake of gambling will always lose ^{(I think)} while those who can find the delight there will win ^{(eventually  )}.
