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?
I have seen a video on YouTube where the casinos in Japan give bonus SPA and free massages to their player, I forgot the name of the casino, but if this is real, of course, it will add the experience and addiction for players to come every day just to enjoy the massage. Yes we know, we don't need to come to the casino just to enjoy SPA and massage, but the pleasure is a different thing if can relax with the points we got from playing at the casino, right?


They are very smart and they know what strategies can enter someone's psychology so that they will be visited again and maybe they will even have a psychologist to do that. Because they are also able to pay a lot for a promotion, of course they can also pay an expert to be part of them, especially in this case an expert who involves psychology. Well, there will be many ways they do this, because they also do business here so they will try to find as many users as possible to make them get big profits. Even we ourselves who are aware of it still often come back, right? yes, even though we have arranged it as best as possible so that we gamble responsibly.

I don't think there's anything new, land-based gambling has been defeated by online gambling. I'm not sure land-based gambling still exists because technology has advanced and time has run out for daily work routines so there won't be time to go to existing casino locations.

Yes that sounds reasonable, and indeed online casinos are now more favored by most gamblers which is a fact that there is indeed a difference in terms of accessibility and ease of playing which of course everyone will definitely choose something that is easier to do regardless of the results.
So I agree that online casinos are far superior, and you have said one of the reasons why people prefer to participate in online casinos is because of the time when you want to get involved in a land-based casino then at least you have to spend more time because there is a trip you have to go through to get to the betting shop, but with online casinos you can gamble freely anywhere and anytime, but of course this is beyond the problem of winning or losing.

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 .
These are just tricks to keep customers and turn them into loyal members in most business fields, it is not only applied in gambling, we can see billboards, other beverage business services, the owner always creates a familiar space, services with the highest regime for customers, in this way, customers will not hesitate to spend more money for their fun. But after all, those are just common ways and we take the bait not just because things are somewhat luxurious and familiar, the bait here belongs to the need, society always has supply and demand, what are you lacking and the casino will provide it at a seemingly reasonable price.
Actually you don't get the point ,yeah other business might be offering almost the same strategy but casino houses does it better.
Imagine letting you get drunk so you will have different decisions while gambling as we knew that alcohol will make us another person lol.


Have been in these situations many times before and this tricks will not go out me now,I only take a glass or two of alcohol while playing .
After the shots the next will be coffee or juice to make me sober so I can play normal again .

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.

from what I know also like that casino they intentionally design so that the building does not have windows and clocks, so that players can not see whether it is night or day and they can play nonstop and spend their money. that is a psychological trick played by the casino to make more people can last for hours inside and they do not remember to go home, and I think that is quite disgusting but that is how the casino makes money for their business.
I've also heard that these fanciful casinos in Las Vegas, don't have windows and clocks, so gamblers won't know what time of day it is. Supermarkets and banks don't have windows too but the difference is that they have clocks unlike physical casinos that doesn't. In terms of designs and attractiveness I know that casinos are made to be more enticing for the gamblers not to leave the ambiances. A gambler who is not disciplined will lose himself in a casino and probably gamble all his money before realizing that the casino is not his home.

And that made him lose a fortune of more than $200M in gambling. That's why these services that we're getting the casino is setting our minds that we're all welcome and it only takes a few money to gamble but for how long? That's the question that only each of us can answer differently depending on how we view these casinos and these psychological techniques that are being done to their customers is no doubt very effective and that's why the gambling industry is now at almost $580B.
I guess that's the Watanabe that I am not going to forget. Compulsive gambling. Damn, that's a lot of money spent just on gambling.

I think it's better if our wife knows that we are going to a casino or if there is anyone who cares about us. That way they can call us and tell us the time or how many days are we not going home yet.
When we are there, it's like you feel the excitement every day, no dead time. Everything is moving so slowly and yet the time moves so fast that we can be there for 3 days and thought we only did it all in one day.
I mean, I think that's also what happened with Watanabe apart from lacking financial control. He may have thought that he was just there for some time and I think he was drunk every day so he didn't have any idea of what he is doing at some parts of the day. They said he also stayed up for most of the days so yes, he didn't felt the time.
There seem to be a time lapse on his mind and thought that time isn't moving so fast. This happens when we're enjoying with what we do, we don't notice how time flies really quickly and on his end, he thought that it's going to take him forever there. Too bad for him that no one has stopped him on those moments because people thought that he's enjoying and he's got a fortune to lost. But the reality sunk onto him and that had hit him really badly.

Gambling addiction itself is a psychological trap but one does just get hypnotized in a day, the process take some time and if you are not careful you might end up having dependency issues... it's quite funny that a casino free drinks are given to customers but these are not soft or carbonated drinks they are actually alcoholic drinks and the purpose of this is to influence the mind of the gamblers, it's easier for them to throw away all they when they get drunk..this is why I always tell people to stay away from drinks whenever they are in a casino.
Casinos serve alcoholic beverages to entice gamblers to play longer, which is a strategy for every casino owner. Real gamblers consider it a trap and only give more importance to the tendency to win. I agree with you that it can work as a psychological hypnosis so every gambler should be aware of that psychological trap. I would also agree with you that gamblers should stay away from any type of drink they are served in casinos in order to continue gambling properly and reduce the tendency to become addicted.

Aside from excellent customer service, the treatment. If someone is felt VIP done by the casinos and its staff, that's one way to make a gambler keep on coming back. Because of special the treatment, it's going to make every gambler feel that they've given importance by the casino. Who doesn't want to be treated well? All of us, so, best customer service, treatment and being attended to makes us confident and happy. And whenever a customer is happy, that's one of the reasons why we become repeat customers/gamblers.

Yeah, who wouldn't forget the case of Terrance Watanabe:

There are few casinos that i used in the past, and on a monthly basis, I still receive promotional emails from them informing me of a bonuse that is waiting for me to claim and sometimes it's so mouth watering that I think of going back to those casinos because of that promised bonuses, sometimes when I take advantage in claiming bonuses, I am made to make a deposit which is a way to draw me back to that casino, most times I use them for sport betting and for that reason, only when the season is active that is when I make use of those bonuses to select and stake a few sport football bets.

Most times sport bookie and online crypto casino's have the marketing department that monitor the activities of gambler's, they know when the activities of a player have reduced and what to do to get them back on the site's and playing, and bonus offering is one of those sure ways to get players back on the site's.

For a land base casino treating their customers in a good manner shows the casino is so rich and they mean business, this kind of service is so rare in my locality. Definitely everyone want a comfortable environment filled with pleasure and I totally agree with the points above but what’s more funny is the fact you made mention of lose, win or lose is never optional and we can all testify about gambling win because we also win most times not just lose.

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?
It’s easy to say gamblers gamble for fun or money and without a good treatment gamblers can decide to choose just one particular casino basically because they offer multiple games for those who love much games secondly customer care meaning the casino should be able to protect their customer interest at all times.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅
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.
I mean, I know alot of strategies that these casinos use (especially land based casinos like you said)... But, this one is rare. I'm trying to imagine the cost of renting the players to have a stand by entertainment...

Do they make that much profits off the casinos as AN AGENT?? If the director of this casino is an agent, then this a big LIE. Unless they're running a casino that the management and winnings are evaluated by the director himself (which would mean building a brand and registering it) then the cost would be too much for them to bear.
Again, this is just from my own perspective as alot of casino houses over here are registered as AN AGENT and later promoted to A SUPER AGENT under another firm. That way, they're only entitled to a certain percentage depending on how much sales is made in a week, month or year.

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.

On a business such as this then it will really be that understandable that its owners will definitely be doing all the stuffs that should be applied to make their gamblers do stay into the vicinity or the venue.
They will be offering those free snacks and other rewards or perks on which it will really be giving out that kind of positive impressions on which this will really be giving out that positive thing towards the company
on which means that if ever this one happens then it will really be making up that more money or revenue into its owners. Attractive looking, Good perks and other correlated stuffs and etc.. then as much as possible they will really be applying some unique idea and doesnt matter on what it is as long they could be able to benefit out of it. Of course this is how business works and on how it should be handled if you are serious on trying to rake even more profits. Make it attractive as much as possible yet this is for the good of the business and able to survive. Come to think that when it comes to competition into this industry then there's really that tough one and not making any changes or updates will really be kicking you out into the competition on which expect that other business owners as well will be thriving out to make their business to be the best among the rest.
Therefore, you should really that doing the same and this is something a normal approach to have.

The ambiance, the sound. You know those stuff aren't really getting noticed by the gamblers whether it's with the physical or online casinos but they're impactful to the gamblers. But I think it's more impactful with the physical casinos when you feel the ambiance and you get to vibe with the other gamblers there. AFAIK, the sounds that are from the games inside the premises and even online have a psychological effect to the gamblers and that's one of the reasons why it stimulates our minds and emotions and makes us coming back from time to time.
Yes, the ambiance, when you enter the casinos, it's like you are entering a different world as you hear those sounds from the machines and even the balls rolling on the roulette table. And I do agree that it stimulates our brain and be attracted to have the same experience as before.
And that plays tingling in our ears and minds that makes us want to stay and when we're done, it wants us to come back. That's hard to beat to be honest and that's why all of these games have their own effects into us and no doubt why a gambler becomes addicted and that is because of these thoughts that have been formed through these criterias that I have mentioned for which every gambler loves and will certainly agree because it happened mostly to the majority of us.

Casino don't have to do much for people to come back to their casino after losing the previous day. People will come back on their own for various reasons. There will be people coming back to revenge the money that they lost while there will be people coming back because they enjoy the games they played despite losing money. The free drinks and other entertainment are not really what make people to come back to gambling in your casinos. It'll be only the hungry people that'll patronized you because they want free drinks and food. It's Psychological and people will come back when you make them enjoy gambling. Your casino need to have the latest games and the system have to be working perfectly without any discomfort. When you have your casino in perfect condition, you'll be getting customers returning after visiting your casino and gambling.

Of course, in any business not only gambling, those managing the business will have to prepare for bonuses discounts, or other benefits for customers to keep them coming back. If you start a business, you will understand that it's extremely difficult to have repeat customers when you start getting returning customers, you can take a sigh of relief that your business is going well because anyone can get 1-time customers using advertisements and promotions, etc., but if a customer comes back, it means they were impressed by your products or services.

So casinos, both online and offline, do their best to provide the best experience for their customers so that they don't go somewhere else because we know how tough the competition is in this field. There are so many casino platforms online and so many physical casinos in countries where gambling is legal. So to stay on top of the competition, every business will have to put as much effort as possible to keep the customers entertained and satisfied.

You'll often see casinos gearing towards a target audience that happens to be rich at the time, there was a phase a few years back when a lot of Chinese gamblers were interested in heading to Vegas with certain casinos gearing their decor to match those target customers. The same will be true for players from the Middle East, who will be playing in hidden high roller rooms and being very discrete because their religion generally forbids gambling but they will do it on occasion. There's also the basic things like numbering, 8 is a "lucky" number for Chinese players and any reference to 13 might be hidden from casinos because it can be considered an unlucky number which is highly relevant to this gaming environment.

If the casino does not have windows and clocks, it will mean that the gamblers still have more time to continue gambling. They should not worry if they are too long in the casino. But for those who can see the real situation will not continue gambling. They will stops from playing gambling and decide to leave the casino.

Yes, that is a psychological trick for the gamblers because they will not thinks if they already playing gambling for a long or short term. Their minds will tells them that they still have much time to playing gambling. If they can not aware of that, they will gets deeper in gambling but they will realize that their money slowly gone.
