Why does a typical casino have low ceilings, no windows, no clocks, and no straight aisles?

What will be an ideal response?


It is a matter of atmospherics. The casino is designed to attract all the senses of a gambler and to eliminate outside distractions. The low ceilings draw the customers' attention to the gambling floor and make the casino appear to be larger than it really is. There are no windows or clocks to remind the gambler of an outside world. The aisles are not straight, so the gambler must pass gambling machines and games on his or her way to any other location.
