Also, why there are no clocks in casinos?
Time stands still without a clock. Without windows, the times of the day pass by and are not noticed at all. This takes away the sense of time and tries to keep the players in the casinos for as long as possible.

The reason why there are no clocks or windows in casinos is that they want customers not to notice time. The intention behind this design is to enhance play duration by disorienting time for the player. This minimizes external distractions, encourages immersion, and creates an informal environment. These design elements positively contribute to the overall casino experience; however, people need to be responsible in their gambling habits and put a limit to not overspend and prevent any possible negative outcome that may result due to overindulgence of gambling.

You're absolutely right! Casinos use various design techniques to create an immersive atmosphere that encourages players to spend more time gambling. The absence of clocks and windows is one such technique that helps to disorient players and reduce their awareness of time passing. This can lead to players becoming more engrossed in their gambling activities and staying longer than they otherwise might.
