The allures of online casinos
Casino games have been the preserve of the ruling class for many years. However, with the relaxation of the laws on gambling, and the fast advancement of internet technology, gambling has not only gone online, but continues to attract middle income people. Just like brick and mortar casinos, the online casinos have these set of psychological tricks that enable them to attract potential players, and to get them hooked to gambling.
- 1. Free bonuses upon registration
These casinos tempt those that seek to explore the world of casino games by offering free bonuses which they can use to gamble in the course of their game. They ensure that the games are liked and relevant enough to leave the player wanting to play again, but with their own money.
- 2. Free bonuses on the first, second and third deposit
As if the first free bonus is not enough to guarantee addiction, these casinos offer other sets of bonuses for subsequent deposits. It is one way of helping the player to make the hard decision to give away their money. Within these bonus periods, they may even win small sums of money, and this begins to excite them.
- 3. Live broadcasts
It is not abnormal to see live broadcasts of who is on, who is close to winning, and who has hit the jackpot. These broadcasts are visible even to those that are yet to login, thereby increasing their appetite and desire to log in or to register in order to secure a win.
- 4. Security
Because of internet scams, the online casinos go an extra mile to ensure that they have established all secure means of money transfer, and that they are duly licensed by the gaming authorities. Also, they clearly assure potential players of fairness so they feel safe giving their money away.
As interesting as it can be, one can easily get trapped in a casino. This can be a full grown person of reasoning and gambling age, sobe,r and in their full senses, with money, and without any debt. While many people of able pockets enter and leave the casino with great ease, the person bearing these descriptions may lack just three things: self control, strong will, and determination. This is the person swept by every appetite, and especially the need and urge to get more.
Casinos specialise in luring such people. Mostly, they are middle income individuals, new to gambling, and trying to afford a life that was previously only a dream. The posh and comfortable feel of a casino with waiters and waitresses moving up and down, and people celebrating winning moments together, create an illusion of a world that only money can access. Also, the fact that every possible need is catered for, leaves such a person with no reason to leave.
Each time they set out to exit the casino, they encounter a new vision of a possible thrill. Because they live to enjoy such little moments, every time they encounter a gaming machine their craving for a game shoots up. While their minds record that it will only last 5 minutes, the time never ends. And each time they give in to the five minute urges, they lose their will to move forward. They can even give up the moment when they are just at the door, but because everything is the same, and there is no signpost informing guests of where the door is, they lose it until their entire monthly earnings are gone. The only way for such people to leave a casino is to pretend they are so sick that they need to be carried, eyes closed and in a stretcher, never to return.
