The gambling industry has many tools at its disposal to lure and keep customers. In addition to scented air (many casinos use bakery-like aromas) and flashy lights, they also manipulate players through the psychology of \u201cnear misses.\u201d Slot machines are programmed to create this sensation by showing two matching symbols or just one symbol away from a jackpot.

In addition to its depictions of organized crime and gangsters, Casino is also a riveting portrait of the city itself and its past ties with organized crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
