The overall design, from exterior to interior to small details and stunning effects are already common things that physical casinos should have. Just like in any other establishment, it was already planned during the construction that the finishing touches should be elegant and can make people's heads turn.
In most cases, physical casinos have decent gamblers on board, where we can say these people belong to a high standard or can we called "rich", casino owners need to level up their casino appearances with lots of comfort features in order to get these type of gamblers.
Not just to get these people thru psychological means but in every business, a wonderful look is a mandatory thing that must have to get a good impression.

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.
I can relate to this, but to correct you @op, enticing design definitely makes me spend more money than I should, but it doesn't make me go back there, what can actually make me go back there is if I enjoyed their services in the first time.

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.
This one is new and quite fascinating to me, and I think I agree one hundred percent, now that I know what this means, when next i walk into an offline casino, I am going to ask them why they don't have a wall clock, let me see what their answer would be
. 
The placement of light, time and sound that makes us unconscious to play longer and spend our money, regarding the design seems to be in the placement of tables and slot machines. If compared to online casinos, maybe in chat interactions with all members, bonus programs or activities on the site, In my opinion these features make us communicate with each other to feel comfortable.
Another thing is making the ambiance of the Casino for social gathering. If one person among a group of friend is a casino regular, he will suggest that the venue will be on a casino whenever he meet up with his friend. With that, the group of friend of this casino regular will be curious and eventually try the games in the Casino. That way casino can have more player.
You can also add free snacks and accommodations to those who want’s to stay longer in the casinos, this can affect gamblers as well and if there’s an offer like that probably they see you as a potential gambler that are willing to spend more.
There’s a lot of things honestly and maybe you can assume that everything in casino came from a psychological study especially with the positioning of the games and the lightings. Casinos wants you to play longer and in order for them to do that, they have to give more freebies and other things just to make you stay, if you’re a weak gambler probably you will fall on this.

Modern casinos today focus on their interior design and psychologically, they know where to put a brighter lights. This can affect and attract more gamblers, this is a good strategy for those casinos.

Tricks? How come those things you have mentioned can be called tricks where in the first place, casinos really need to do those to attract users.
It's not a trick but a necessary feature for casinos to catch the attention of the gamblers.
Obviously, if the casino is new, no one will ever be interested in playing at them if they don't put an effort from basic things to major ones. It's a must that these operators should do brainstorming in an attempt to lure customers to their casino.
While appealing design can really be a helpful feature, making people play in the dark to lose track of time is a shady psychological tactic that many clubs use.
It's pretty much what strip clubs are doing when they get clients drunk so they spend more and they charge a lot of money for every drink.
Some people will call these business tactics normal and for some people these will be unethical. You have to decide for yourself.
There are other ideas the online casinos use to attract the customers and I don't know if they have been mentioned already.
Casinos try to use these means to pull customers like promotions, they give gifts and freebies to attract more players and like the promotion, they allow some benefit when on promotion. There is another idea which is using an attractive lady to advertise in their casino, men get attracted with women obviously.
This is part of their advertisements and they really have the money to hire professionals on handling their marketing side, this is the life of casino as well because if they lest unpopular then it will be hard for them to attract gamblers. Some promotions are really attractive since you can have some money even if you gamble small, this is good as long as they remain fair or else if they are not good at all then that marketing side is not worth it. Casinos try to use these means to pull customers like promotions, they give gifts and freebies to attract more players and like the promotion, they allow some benefit when on promotion. There is another idea which is using an attractive lady to advertise in their casino, men get attracted with women obviously.
Yes, this is some well known tricks that the casinos have been using for many years now.
There are some casino's that I used to play many years ago that the design of their ceiling is clouds, Lol, forget what casino it was, but it is in Vegas. And for the manufacturer of slot machines, of course the design, the graphics, the sounds is all based on psychology. Another is casino's serving free drinks, and most of the time there are performers and singers on stage so that you will get what you pay for, to be entertain for hours and as long as you play in the casino, you can get this freebies. But you already paid for them every time you losses your money.

Not that I'll ever experience this, but if you're gambling a rather large amount, they'll target you for free drinks, and sometimes free accommodation depending on your spending habits. Of course, it's not really free, since they're trying to keep you in the casino a lot longer, and have been monitoring you via CCTV or by just watching you.
I think this is a commonly known thing though, so nothing out of the ordinary. I'm not a particular fan of this method though. Any method really, honestly. Seems unethical to me.

but that's how casino works unfortunately. they are looking for possible gamblers that will spend their money as much as they can. they know who's new inside their premises and potential targets. whereas, when it comes to online casinos, it is easy to get the list of high rollers because of their history. i believe that's the advantage of online casinos, they can easily get the list of potential high rollers because of the record of these gamblers.
Number 2 is true. Since there aren't any windows nor clocks around the casino premises, you'll not be able to tell time unless you really look into your phone or your watch. It's a trick that lures you into playing more and more since you're not aware of the time. Also, if you ask the casino staff around (tried this lots of times), they'd indirectly answer you or tell you some words to describe what time it is and not actually tell the exact time to you.

When we do talk about physical casinos then i would adding this up to the list.1. Having beautiful women or dealers or even just to those who do offer drinks or simply those staffs
- It might be simple but it is quietly effective on retaining users or gamblers inside the establishment considering that majority are
males then it would be understandable that we are really that too attracted with these beautiful ladies and stimulate
out that emotion which does result on liking on staying up on the place.
This is common in most physical casinos where their customers would feel relaxed and can do everything their want without noticing that they're already spending a long time playing and using a huge amount of money as capital. Their strategy is to entertain their gamblers and make them stay for a longer time so they could bet more than usual. They will make their customers feel valued so they will always come back.

I've heard that in some high end casinos they have hostesses who pose as clients and make sure the wealthiest gamblers are having fun.
These girls play for free at tables and are always cheering and nice towards clients.
The lack of clicks and sunlight is a very obvious one. I've never seen a casino with big windows. They're always full of artificial lights but allow no natural light.

I would also add the fact that some casinos also offer perks to their gamblers depending on how much money they put on the table. Casual gamblers can get some appetizers or a free drink, while high-rollers can get VIP access to casino/ hotel rooms, for example.
Either way, those are methods to make people comfortable in the casino and increase the chances they come back in the future.
One of my cousins had some preference for a casino (which was within a hotel) because they offered him free beer as he gambled.

I think there is no greater psychological tricks that casinos can use other than the enticement of huge wins. Greed is among the human nature. Often times greed takes over when an opportunity present itself. With the offer of huge winnings, people will flock in to that place. One great example is the lottery. It doesn't have any amazing sounds but people keep on coming and the reason is to have a chance in winning the huge jackpot price.
I remember reading long ago that they also use our subconscious minds to their advantage. you might think that they place their games in certain places just for aesthetics or something, but no, their games are strategically placed to lure you into their casino without you actually realizing it. this might be a little off-topic but the funny thing is casinos are not the only one using our subconscious to their advantage, grocery store, supermarket, etc.. uses the same tactic in order to make you stay longer, and spend more money on their store.
