Superstitions and casinos. Five common signs players believe
Let's talk about the most common superstitions that are popular among gamblers and casino visitors.
All gambling is inextricably linked with luck, so superstitions play a special role for top online casinos visitors.
Someone prefers to blow on the dice before throwing, while others wear red things to win.
Some players may also cross their fingers or close their eyes when dealing cards, and some believe that borrowed money should never be gambled.
Each of these superstitions has its own story, and in the meantime, we will tell you about the five most popular signs for casino visitors.
1 Unlucky numbers
Different cultures have their own unlucky numbers, but for players the most unlucky numbers are 13 and 4.
If there is no need to explain the bad aura of the number 13, the unfortunate four came to gambling from Asia.
The fact is that in Chinese the word "four" sounds like a word for death.
Therefore, some buildings in China do not have a fourth floor, as, in fact, there are no 13 rows in planes for some airlines.
2 Counting money
This sign is familiar to experienced fishermen, who know that counting their catch while fishing is not good.
Experienced casino players also know that you should never count money while sitting at a table.
This superstition has its roots in early gambling in Europe, where it was not customary to count chips while playing blackjack.
Counting your winnings was then considered not just bad luck, but also bad form.
3 Central entrance
Because of this sign, some legal casinos in Kiev even moved the entrance to their casino to the end of the building.
Superstition concerns Asian culture and the rules of the Taoist practice of symbolic exploration of feng shui space.
Therefore, in many modern casinos, players want to enter not through the main entrance, but through the back entrance.
It is noteworthy that in the 1990s, the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas changed the design of its famous entrance to the lion's mouth precisely because of this sign.
4 itchy hands
In some European countries, it is generally accepted that itchy hands bode badly.
However, in Serbia, for example, itching on the contrary is considered a good omen.
Other similar signs may say that an itchy left hand is a sign of an imminent loss of money, but if your right hand itches, this may indicate an upcoming win.
5 Whistle and Crossed Legs
The belief that whistling would result in loss of money is associated with British sailors, who believed that whistling attracted strong winds.
As for crossed legs, this habit, unlike crossed fingers, is also considered unsuccessful when gambling.
The meaning of this sign is unknown, but this does not deprive it of its popularity among players.
