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.

1. I am sure not all casinos have luxurious interior. They all almost looks the same unless you join a high class vip casinos.
2. You have your phone with you or your own wrist watch?
3. Much better. You can at least set a budget how much you will be spending when buying credits/chips.

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. I have identified some as they are similar to those the articles highlighted as it seemed to be mostly focused on offline casinos, they are;
1. Good and user friendly design.
2. Cashless games is definitely among.
3. Stimulating sounds seem to be one. (Please add to the list)
1. Yeah, more simple = faster.
2. Aren't all online casinos cashless? you pay with card or crypto.
3. Sounds to affect but I guess most people prefer to play without a sound. At least me.
4. I can add one: Flashy designs that attracts your attention when you win (and sometimes even when you lose!).
