As a beginner, what were your experience and feeling when you first entered a casino? That hypnotic environment made of the buzz of artificial lights, the smells, sights, and the sounds, legs of the cocktail waitresses, and other nice things must have made your memorable day.

Casinos Create an Oasis Where Time Doesn’t Exist 

You will rarely find a casino with windows or wall clocks. This is a diligent approach to make you spend hours gambling without realizing how long you’ve been there. 

It is a good idea to wear a wristwatch while visiting casinos. However, most casinos are controlled and so, you will not be allowed to check your phones at the games tables. 

There Are ATMs All Over

Slot Machines Dominate the Entrance and Exits 

Slot machines are designed to use visual and auditory stimulation to keep you playing. They are installed around the entrance and exits to draw your attention when you arrive and leave the casinos. 

Overstimulate Gamblers 

Casinos will do anything and everything to artificially conjure up happiness. For instance, casinos will feature big television screens, flashing lights, roller coasters, and beautiful waitresses. With all these niceties, it’s so easy to spend money you didn’t intend to. 

Final Thoughts 

As a beginner, you should be on the lookout for these tricks, and when you think it’s an excellent time to head home, stick to it, and don’t let them spoil your time there.
