  1. I think the main technique is the promise of making you rich. And the people who believe that are enough to support the casino. Free drinks don't hurt.


  2. People's greed keeps them in a casino.  And the free drinks.

  3. a few i noticed:

    1. frequent player points (those cards they give you for signing up with the club). the more you gamble at the same place, the more and better prizes you can get.

    2. a confusing maze to get to the casino: often, exits are hidden and difficult to find, and you need to wrap around and walk extra to get out.

    3. friendly staff: often, the pit bosses will pretend they actually care about you to try and get you to think they're your friend.

    4. difficulty in cashing out: not all cash cages are 24/7. they open and close randomly, making it a pain in the butt to leave.

  4. Free drinks...comps...and NO CLOCKS!!  You won't leave, if you don't know what time it is!

  5. The FREE drinks,comps comps comps, cheap food deals. If you are a big player,youll know what i mean.With the free rooms and free dinners. For the smaller players and recreational players, its the free drinks and cheap food and all casinos have a players cards, some with better rewards than others

  6. One thing is the carpets.  They are designed for people to lose their sense of direction and they will stay and gamble longer.  Another way is the air conditioner make people want to stay out of the heat.  Every casino has all the amenities you may need so you never have to leave the property.

  7. -No clocks

    -No windows

    -Free alchohol

    -they send you promotional offers by mail immediately after each trip to entice you to come back.

    -you will get "bonuses" if you have a players card for cash back free food, free hotels discounts etc

    -they will incorperat prizes that you have to work towards earning by playing more and more and more to get bigger and bigger prizes

    -If you play for large enough stakes, they will just flat out insist you stay in their hotel for free everytime you come, if you play REALLY big, they might even set up airfair.
