Message: [QUOTE="Tero, post: 7186975, member: 415793"] [I][ATTACH type="full" width="778px"]391563[/ATTACH][/I] [SIZE=5][I]So you are into casino games? That's fine. Nothing really wrong with it if you can keep your head straight and play for the right reasons.[/I][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][B]And what are those you ask? Well, fun - mainly.[/B][/SIZE] Going to a casino and maybe staying a night can be a very immersive experience if that is what you like. But playing online can have its benefits too. Even though these two seem like a two totally different things, and in many ways they certainly are, the end result might still be very similar in both cases. House always wins. Some of the online casinos look really pretty and alluring with carefully designed imagery, polished graphics and sounds and audiovisual feedback on every step of a game. They are not there simply to entertain you. Every minute more you are engaged in a game means more money for the casino. [B]But surely playing from home is more safe?[/B] Not sure. This subject has not been studied enough. There probably are no cocktail waitresses bringing you drinks next to your keyboard but online gaming has its pitfalls. [ATTACH type="full" width="638px"]391564[/ATTACH] Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) funded[URL='https://www.jneurosci.org/content/38/48/10362'] a study[/URL] where 131 healthy adults were exposed in a laboratory environment to a different game settings designed by the researchers. In one of the trials subjects were presented with scenarios where one had to choose between bigger gains but higher risk of loosing vs low gains but smaller chance of ruin. When the options were presented in a simple manner the subjects were more inclined to make more carefully thought-out decisions. But when casino sounds and imagery were added the subject were willing to take higher risks. These findings were present also in other test set-ups. [URL='https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-97370-z']On another study[/URL] conducted by researchers from two Australian universities the effects of blue light that emanates from computer screens and which can also be present in casino environments were taken under investigation. In this study 15 volunteers were asked to complete hypothetical gambling tasks under different lighting scenarios.On average the subjects were less concerned with loosing if the decisions were made under heavy blue light when compared to more warmer color temperatures. The researchers think that a blue light might be activating specific eye cells that connect to brain regions that control decision making and risk taking. So yes, even light may matter. We may be more influenced by the circumstances we are in any given time than we care to admit. [/QUOTE]
