Topic: How Casinos Use Psychology to Influence Gamblers - page 2. (Read 1193 times)

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.

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.

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?

Yes, it all depends on where you play. Because there are also some casinos that provide drinks that are not free and are very expensive.
And there are also casinos that provide free drinks but it is done for some specific reasons for the benefit of the casino, and if you drink too much then you will lose a lot of fluids and it will make you feel uncomfortable while playing because you will definitely always want to urinate after a while so you have to leave the table which may happen several times and it will make you play not concentrating.
And besides when you drink too much that makes you drunk you will start making mistakes, besides making mistakes in making decisions you also play in a semi-conscious state and that will definitely make you lose a lot of money.

The online casino know how to lure them to come back to the casino and play more gambling games. The casino use the same psychological things but they use the different way to lure the gamblers to comes back. But playing gambling games on online casino gives them feel convenience because they don't have to go anywhere. They can use their laptop and even use their smartphone to visits on the online casino. That gives an easiness to playing gambling from anywhere they wants. But those people needs to be careful because they will see many things including interesting promotions that can makes them attract to keep playing gambling.

That's one of the best things when you play at a land based casino, there is actually free juice, snacks, and so on. I found this out because I had a friend who told me that you can't enter a land based casino if you don't have a membership card.

He said that he had an experience when he went there and acted like he was lucky that day. He said that his first attempt to bet was around $10. He said that
he suddenly won around $415. He said that he had just started playing when he saw that he had won. he said that he immediately gave up and left the
casino because he had already won. But there is also a time that he also lose

Yep, that's correct.

Just like this place, nothing fancy, no sexy girls, but they're going there to make a bet and watch the match. Gambler is only want to gambling regardless how bad the place is, even though fancy design and sexy girls do attract people to come, but they're mostly not loyal gamblers and only want to hanging around in there.

I think that's the obvious attraction for gamblers, seeing huge amount of money that you can supposedly won. Millions upon millions, and you know what's more attractive? That you are a gambler has witnessed someone won the jackpot.

I was in a land base casinos about a month or two playing, when suddenly I heard a loud scream and people rushing to see what happened. This was this old lady who hit that $ xx,xxx,xxx, the jackpot. And when I got home, I'm thinking what if I'm that person that won? Or maybe I can go back and see if I can play and duplicate her? That's the thoughts that run into my mind. So it's already psychology and I was so influence already to try, but unfortunately, I didn't won any.

Offline and online casinos have different target markets. Those that are wealthy and are looking for a place where excitement and fun both exist, then physical casinos with hotel and drinks accomodation is one of the places where they need to be. Especially for men, and most casinos are employing female staff with pleasing personality. While online casinos focuses more on bonuses and rake backs, because that's the least they can do to attract more clients.

The perks offered by casinos are indeed the main attraction for their gamblers. The potential for big wins is certainly an attraction for gamblers to try their luck. I think it works in addition to the promotional bonuses given at the beginning for new users or bonuses that can be given to gamblers who reach a certain level of betting.
Offline casinos provide something different to gamblers. They have their own fans even though currently there are quite a lot of gamblers who choose online casinos. Not a few will still come to offline casinos.

So that is why each online and offline casino will always try to lure people to keep visit their place and playing gambling. ..

I don't know where you play, but here, it's not just alcohol drinks  that are free, even soda and coffee too are free as you can order or get in from their services as well. Obviously, it's wine or beer that they wanted their customer to drink more so that when they become drunk, they will be out of control and bet big.

So yes, it's a psychological trap and casinos know what they are doing here as they have set it up in every direction. From the design to the drinks itself. And even we know this visual cues are already there, we still go and gamble anyways.

Offline or online casinos, they already know how to attract more patrons on their site. Not only the games but the perks involved. But for offline casinos, I believe it is the actual experience that people mostly are after as they have social angle covered.
Not only the experience is different in land-based casinos, but you are having first-hand experience of the game itself. And some people are up to that kind of interaction. Aside from entertainment, they are also after for the food/drinks and other social aspect of this activity. Sometimes, it goes beyond gambling why some of them are visiting land-based casinos.

Online casinos as well. I have recently been playing online slots and I have taken the sound off, because I know it is designed to keep you betting. And although I know it is very unlikely that I will end up having problems with EV-games, it is better to minimize risk factors.

Different player have unique interests, gamblers who get intrigued with the complimentary offers prefer to visit offline casinos and spend money. That's why the brick and mortar casino can't run out of business despite the operations of online casinos.

You can't get everyone's attention with ads and shiny websites. They're gamers that assume the drinks, and comfortability as a part of their expenses.
