It was mountainous terrain where i gambled and there were figures of dragons. Now i understand better why this happened. The casino located in the middle of the mountainous terrain, symbolized the protection of the turtle. The dragon symbolizes protection. These two examples reflect wealth and protection in the subconscious. I think energy is important in gambling. Casinos use these methods to create a perception in people's brains and keep their beliefs fresh. But remember, the table always wins. Although they encourage us with various energies in gambling know yourself well and do not become addicted.
So you see even if everything depends on luck and circumstances there are many people even non-Chinese are following Fengshui practices.
How about you? Do you have Fengshui practice that you're observing when you are about to play or while playing

I had no idea casinos would use Fengshui to help in designing the layouts. It kind of makes sense now because Fengshui is trying to achieve harmony through only using round shapes. A friend had his apartment setup with a ying and yang approach, so not using any edges or squares, everything has to be round and a fixed place to get the most positive energy out of it. I am not really believing all of this, but it makes a little sense now. I noticed myself that casinos are build up like a long maze with no real start and finish, it's like a flow of water that keeps on moving, you can spend hours and hours in a casino walking around. The design seems similar to adventure parks where you want to let the guest feel excitement all along the way and the whole design is buildup to make everything feel bigger that it is in reality.
Yes, this is an interesting marketing and at the same time philosophical decision.
Gambling involves winning or losing the player. At the same time, the main emphasis in them is on the process of the game, and not on the result. This is what feng shui principles are for.
A casino is a place where time flows, but is not fixed. It is like a fairy tale, the hero of which spent 30 years in the fairy kingdom, and when he left it, he was amazed that all the inhabitants of his village had grown old.
However, he himself did not feel the passage of time. This is the essence of the casino.
No wonder there are no clocks in any casino. The clock distracts the player from the "endless" process of the game.

I think the casino design you're talking about is built in such a way not only for the purpose of developing space for Feng Shui and more for marketing purposes because if you enjoy being in such an atmosphere, wander the halls of the casino at times interrupting their journey by various games is likely no matter how successful your game day you will return to the institution again.

Most non-Chinese casinos around the world observed and respected Chinese beliefs for marketing purposes. China is the most populated country in the world. China is the second biggest economy in the world. And there are also hundreds of millions of people that shared Chinese blood and beliefs in other countries like Vietnam, Singapore, and many others. It's too big of a market to ignore especially if you're an international casino or a casino located in a tourist country where many Chinese flocks.
And gambling is in the blood of Chinese people as they are a very old civilization and that's why they were able to come up with everything, not just in gambling beliefs but throughout history they have a footprint on it.
So no wonder even the West believes in so many superstitions that originated from China and then adapt them to attract the number gambling people in the world.
As long you dont hurt others or making yourself hurt or something in between two then i dont see anything wrong with it.People are just too judgemental on what others been doing.
I also don't understand why other people are taking things seriously if someone uses the art of Fengshui in gambling.
After all, these people that use lucky stuff take care of their bankroll. Why other people should bother with that?
Correct. Let's just mind our own business and let these people just do what they want.
thats why they would say negative things instead of ignoring them yet as mentioned that they have done nothing wrong plus its their money that had been spent so its not on our business
to say on how they would really be handling theirselves when they do gambling Fengshui or gestures might really be that common on some players but there's no proof that these
things could really make out some effect or alteration on someones luck.
Seem like Fengshui is a symbol of good luck and strength to the players.
Or does they stay like a statue on the main door or gamblors wear it in their pendents and rings as well
This is indeed quite good for people who believe because with this they will have a suggestion to themselves that with good Feng Shui they can become lucky. but in this case it is possible only for people who believe in such a thing.

I agree to that, there are many Chinese folks around the world and they share beliefs that some gamblers follows.
Not just because they really believing on it but through some running blood inside them thy continue to believe that there
are relations with fengshui and the luck that you can have if you do follow that kind of superstitious belief.
maybe on their own opinion there's relevance but it's about luck and strategy that really matters when dealing with gambling.

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese art of arranging buildings, objects, and space in an environment to achieve harmony and balance
But do you know that Fengshui is practiced and observed in gambling and in popular casino cities? even MGM and many hotels in casinos are following Fengshui, these are just some of the examples
but if you think this will help? then why not since luck is all we needed in gambling and nothing more.
I know some of this in our small local poker room. Like the doors should be in the right place and the tables must be facing the right direction.
The manager explained why but I cannot remember the detailed reasons anymore and all I could recall is it was about feng shui.
As a Filipino being influenced by Chinese traditions, we have lots of approaches in-house for good luck but I have not much when it comes to gambling.
One that I mostly do before playing the game is washing hands, keeping it clean will avoid bad luck from coming in, or you will have a good start.
But that's only for physical gambling, I don't do it anymore ever since I played online.

There are many good luck signs attached to the money. In singapore people believe that good luck charms brings in money and fortune.
Than for chineses it is different saniro all together for indians it is laughing buddha.
So if feng shui is a symbol of good luck then surely there will be reason behind it.
I just know that feng shui is not only about lucky symbols but also about the position or layout of something. For example, if a person wants to play gambling and he uses feng shui, he will learn first which position will help him to be able to get positive energy that can give him hope to win.Than for chineses it is different saniro all together for indians it is laughing buddha.

This is not to get lucky but just to tell the position where he can gamble. For example, from feng shui information, he knows that if he faces east, he can get good luck and follow it. But still, this is not to lure luck into coming. But I don't really know about feng shui.

Each of us has the right to believe in what he likes, but personally I am skeptical of both feng shui and all sorts of talismans that bring good luck. I am sure that man's luck does not depend on his faith, but faith can have a positive effect on self-discipline, which in turn can affect the choices that a person makes. This is the only thing I see as an advantage of believing in this or that belief, which cannot be proven by experience.

I'm not an expert on Fengshui, but if a casino is really arranged by the laws of Fengshui, wouldn't all the gamblers playing in that casino become lucky.
Actually, most casinos themselves are designed and associated with feng-shui from layouts, design, and something along those lines.
Not just casinos but other establishments as well are associating feng-shui when they are doing layouts and crafts on what the establishment should look like. Try to ask an engineer and talk about feng-shui.
About your thinking that if luck really arranged by the law of Feng-shui, you are taking things seriously and too much. I
t's just for people's preferences and they actually don't expect to always win. It's just guidance and somehow a better practice not to take gambling that easy and simple. Much better to leave it that way.

Yes, I too believe Fengshui is for luck. Chinese people have different beliefs and they stand out from the rest of the world. Gambling is nothing an exception. Here the Fengshui is a luck factor same as that laughing Buddha is being placed everywhere so to get good business. If we dig the history we can see something interesting behind these activities.
Buddha has done so much to find God - but people have. made Buddha their God. Which is a different kind of belief.

Chinese gambler will surely believe on this, and they have this tradition in almost everything not just in gambling.
There's nothing wrong if you have this ritual before you gamble, what is wrong here is if you depend on that belief and spend too much money. This is still gambling, and luck will still be the main reason why we are winning. We have this kind of tradition as well, and there's nothing to lose if you believe on this sometimes.

Believing in these kind of things won't get you hurt either because it's just a belief and we do have our distinctive body language that will make us comfortable. In the same thought, I think that some gamblers that are saying some rituals prior the activity is not a sign that they are relying on it but I see it as their way to make them more confident on the activity and as I said, will make them play more comfortable.
Just mind your own business and proceed into your own actions rather than on discriminating or teasing someones belief.If they dont hurt someone then it is really that still considerable.
Fengshui or something in related wont really be having that effect on increasing your chance but there were people who do really believe on these things and done something before they
do gamble and trying out to see if it does work or not but still continuing to make use of it even they are on the losing side.

About the building where they skip some numbers, that was true and happens also here on my country but I think it wasn't the number 4 that is being skipped here. They do that not because of attracting a wealth but to possibly prevent accidents.
