A Look At How Science and Casinos Have Merged

Surbiton.com: September 2, 2016 - 10:11am

Players from all over the world have been trying to beat the bank since numbers and casino games were invented.

Stories of successful gambling go against the notion that casinos and bookmakers are unbeatable. They imply that there are flaws in games of chance, and that can be exploited by anyone sharp enough to spot them. The idea of beating the casino or the dealer has been so appealing for many, many years now that people have tried to beat them from the very beginning when the games were created.

Chances & Probability

The very science of chance first came about in 1654 as the result of a gambling question posed by a French writer named Antoine Gombaud, he was incredibly puzzled by a dice problem, in which he soon involved a mathematician Blaise Pascal, who then also enlisted the help of Pierre de Fermat another fellow mathematician. Together they all built on Cardano’s work on randomness gradually working out the basic law of probability which heavily impacts all casino games today. The relationship between science and betting has been closely linked for many years from the law of probability today with Ladbrokes Casino Periodic Table. Science and casino games are heavily interlinked without many of us even realising.

Cognitive Skills

Casino games have been scientifically proven to enhance and improve our brains cognitive skills which can decline with age. The way to ensure that they stay strong and sharp is to continue to work them out with games. Games like video poker can actually be beneficial to improving memory and concentration which leads to an enhanced focus. The better you understand and remember the combinations by focusing on the game you are playing the more enhanced your memory will become. Another popular casino game; bingo is actually incredibly good for the brain. It has been proven to boost the brains mental speed, accuracy, concentration and enhance the ability to register patters under pressure.

Science Behind Casinos Design

There have also been countless studies conducted on the psychological effects of the gaming design of casinos. Gambling can lead to mental exhaustion as all the games work the different elements of cognitive skills. Casinos tend to be designed in a way that actually promotes restoration of the mind as it is more likely to keep players gambling for longer. Many participants stated that they would stay longer and gamble more if music was present. There were also five more variables that participants tested including lighting, colours, crowding, and symmetry in layout as well as spatial clustering.
