Question

What kind of psychological strategies are used when designing the layout of a casino?

Answer 1

If there's a $3.00 buffet, you can bet it will be near the back of the casino, so you must walk by all the games. Others have mentioned the lack of clocks. Anywhere you sit to play a game, you should soon be approached by a cocktail waitress, waiting to take your free drink order. Expect to havee to walk by the tables to get anywhere you want to go, whether it's the bar, the bathroom, or the ballroom.

Answer 2

i think alot in the  colors they use in triggers something in there moods also along the same lines ,as in feeling relaxed and stimulated to stay long periods of time

Answer 3

There has been several attempts to achieve different goals.

  Small casinos put up mirrors to make them look larger.

  Hideous carpets so your eyes look at games instead.

  No clocks so a person won't know what time it is.

  All the lights and bells.. seems like cash is flying everywhere.

  Cash out windows way in the back. got to walk by 10 thousand games to cash out. Or if you cash a check.. you have to walk by all these games to get out the door.

  Ooohh yes. those beautiful friendly waitresses. make you feel sooo at home.
