Ha, yes, indeed. They, bastards, have a lot of tricks to use XD still, I can't help but admit that the style and marketing strategy of some online casinos is a real art, lol
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.
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. 
I found this interesting read that there are psychological tricks offline casino's use to make visitors spend more money, I have summarized the article and added the link at the end for anyone who wants to read more, Why? cos like I mentioned, it is an interesting read!
So some of these tricks are;
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.
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.
3. Cashless Games - You buy credit for slots or chips, so you also may not be able to keep track of your money.
others according to the article are: Stimulating Lights and Sounds, Memorable Scents, Near-Misses, Familiar Concepts, a Sense of Control.

Deposit bonuses.
They credit you x2-x3 amount of what you deposited but you can’t withdraw that money. They ask you to wager the bonus plus what you deposited few times before you can withdraw your money. Obviously you’ll probably lose whatever you got in your account because it is a trick lol
When you think about it, almost any other casino promotion falls in that category. Every promo they give is there to make you deposit money and play.
The more you play, the more you lose. Casino: Profit
Though these psychological tricks are present in an actual casino, I wonder if there are similar tricks or different methods where they can integrate this kind of thinking in online casinos. Do you guys also think that there are any psychological trick/s that are adopted in online gambling casinos as well?
With online casinos it is quite hard to read the user minds. With real Casinos everything is visible and face expressions itself more than enough to understand a person's situation. With online casinos only thing that can be done is triggering. Whenever we search something related to gambling then onwards Google keeps suggesting things related to it. In such a way gamblers might get triggered to gamble and such tricks as real casinos can't be made effective.Nope its kinda the same since most of the time they use winning scenarios where people get curious to see about how those people earn that way upon playing to their casino. This is why we see they post those huge win because for sure they can increase the curiosity of the people who seek money from playing gambling. Also the entertainment factor is another method they made that's why they caught up many people to play at their casino.
Posts of big winners definitely can stir the interest of some players.
It is like their motivation to have the same fate, but unfortunately, it is no easy feat.
But a good way to advertise the casino as it means, they are also capable of paying up big winnings.
It also give an assurance that they can take care of players with huge payouts.
Oh this makes completely sense if a gambling website posts the winnings of an individual player in the current bet.
However, I wonder if there are gambling websites that post fake information/winnings on their website to attract more customers in the process. In addition, I think by posting the potential jackpot that one can win, this leads them one, thus affecting their psychological behaviour into betting more. While the effect may be relatively different compare to visiting actual casinos, the fact that these websites can at least reproduce the same affect is potentially alarming and dangerous.
Offline? I don't think its trustworthy at all because it's offline as you said, and you don't know what will gonna happen since most of gambling platforms are working online especially the legitimate ones.. So i don't know if it's safe and how they can convince users to participate and deposit money despite that its offline..
As we know already Branding is one major key note that is common to online and offline casinos. Is most likely to be a competition among Casino's then the next i think is bonuses, at this points they offers best deposit and ref bonuses to attract bettors the more.
Talking about sound, for sure it makes you and i feel good and relaxed making the games or gambling site more interesting. If we must talk about socialization then we have to term it in offline or local shops where bettors interact with each others, probably would share some common games and ideas to summarized about new teams and clubs or newly assigned players, these are features online do not have.

With proper branding they can get the attention of the gamblers. Yes branding really helps all projects to market their business well with the use of Psychology related to business. If they can properly execute this one, no matter how many casinos out there will show, still they will get the hearts of those gamblers. I think those things are part of the strategy to make their own name.
Yes, if they are good in terms of selling their brand even there are many competitions, they will still gain the attentions of the gamblers, there are many kinds of branding that each casinos are using to attract more players/gamblers to visit their platform, most common are the bonuses and promotions that each have different approach to catch the attention and make sure that they will gain engagements not for just a visit but more on long-term relation between the casinos and the patrons/gamblers that will use the site.
For physical casinos I would like to add bands and entertainment there is a cocktail lounge in some famous casinos where players can unwind for another round of games and I find this feature very appealing to players and one of the casinos' strong features once they unwind they will be motivated to play and gamble again and of course, that's profit for physical casinos.
I have seen this for myself also. They casinos make a side attraction like bar where gamblers stay out to drink and take turns to gamble. The customers do come to the casinos with their friends because there is a spot for relaxation and drinking while they gamble. Some put snooker, table tennis for customers for free and some rent on for a set and this encourage even people not regular customers to visit the casino because of all those attractions there. Such casinos in my area have a bigger turn over above others that are just only casino.
And adding to this kind of manipulation, most of the time we will see more girls that adds the attentions of more gamblers especially those who are really aiming for entertainment, boys night out will be celebrated inside the casinos where drinks and girls with good gamings that will really excite more gamblers.

Alcohol greatly boosts the player's excitement and as far as I know in many halls (where there is a corresponding limit on the minimum bet) alcohol is free - this is very funny, since anyone should understand that nothing is free, and this alcohol is just cheese in a mousetrap
But as long as the mice themselves are happy to succumb to such tricks, the casino will provide such conditions.

It is something generic of the entertainment and general marketing business, they are literally being sold in every way.
In any case, it is a very widespread technique, for example some supermarkets, in the same line, lights, corridors, food spaces and even spaces to leave the little ones while you shop, in short, these techniques are only extrapolated to the type of business.
Question: in equivalence to off-line, mmhh!! the vip programs, the interface, the active chat to understand that you are not alone, the banner with daily promotions, and even the immediate customer service, in general everything that makes you feel comfortable and reliable, but in a certain way it would be an equivalence very varied (tricky(!?)) in that sense.

I will agree, although I socialized in landbase casinos, talking with players let say when I'm in a table or someone besides me in a slot machine. But most of the time, some of the individuals specially if they see you winning big will suddenly talk to you and it just shows that maybe they want you to give them tips. But I'm thinking, if I'm not going to win, for sure this guy are not going to approach me. So just be careful from those kind of individuals you will find in the casinos.
I think befriending people and socializing in physical casinos isn't anything odd, you'd most likely play together in some specific gambling games after all. Not to mention that I'd like to think that gamblers have this open mindset of socialization since it's an integral part of casinos themselves, hence why the setup of people being together at tables. That doesn't mean that there aren't any individuals that wouldn't do anything wrong or bad to you. Physical casinos:
- Hiring women to attract customers to gamble on their casino
- Serving free food and alcohol up to certain extent
I think the women thing is kind of biased? Just in general hiring attractive personnel, whether they be men or women with pleasing personalities should work. Also casinos wouldn't pass up on that money, so selling alcohol instead of giving them out would definitely be a part. Maybe a reduction based on VIP level or amount bet on that certain session instead. - Hiring women to attract customers to gamble on their casino
- Serving free food and alcohol up to certain extent
This is very correct and this only can make gamblers to return to casinos many times because they have friends who might be online and they can chat with. When there is consistent interaction between gamblers, they tend to make friends and shares strategies and winnings with other gamblers which can motivate the ones that have been having difficult time with gambling. There are may ways casinos can attract gamblers to join there platform which involves different strategies and technologies.
They are called social gamblers. If you visit a thread here you will see that it's one of the main reasons on why a gambler can go back to a casino that they are playing with. I was one of it actually but im sad now because my old friends are not online anymore. I don't know what happen to them but I hope they are still fine and doing better with their lives now away from gambling. This could be the reason on why I am now rarely playing.I once tried to make new friends but guess what happened? These new players simply ignored me. While if I try to show my winning bet, everyone in the room will then greet me. This is clear that they only care for the money.
Some gamblers are playing to make friends, and I do agree with this one entirely. I tried to befriend a lot of people in the Nitrogensports trollbox back then and I made a lot of mates along the way. Even if I am not making an active bet, so long as I'm on that trollbox chatting with other people, I feel like I'm already satisfied for the day. Sounds cheesy but this is true, and it's one of the ways to get your experience complete in gambling IMO.

There are few that we can add to the existing ones
Physical casinos:
- Hiring women to attract customers to gamble on their casino
- Serving free food and alcohol up to certain extent
Online casinos:
- Attractive bonuses and promotions
- Free spins
- Chatting with other users
- Showing Provably fair feature
Basically Casino owners wants to make you stay there longer than you intended to. There are such tricks in the OP that can make you unconciously tricked by them. There is also another way like them offering up hotel rooms for cheap and having you earn points for you to have a free accomodation to them. This can make you think to play more for you to take advantage of them but it's the opposite. They are making you take use of their amenities as much as you like as long as you gambles with them.
Casino owners are always trying to make the casino more attractive. The decoration of each casino is usually glitzy and extravagant. A gambler's attitude changes as soon as he enters a casino. Usually gambler gets everything he wants which makes a gambler more attracted to the casino. Besides, various beautiful girls are kept there for entertainment. Food is also provided to satisfy hunger. People believe that casino owners make casinos into a sort of paradise that psychologically appeals to the gamblers.
