Decoding all the casino-related myths can seem endless. Among the commoners, there exist many illogical notions about casinos. Those who have never visited the casino world and have no idea about it may end up believing in such things. This is always a challenge for the casinos as ill rumors out there may even term the casino culture as toxic and unhealthy. Addicted gambling should not be entertained at any cost, however, casinos never ask you to get addicted to them. You can gamble healthily and it will in turn help the casinos to stay in business.
The reality of the casino floors
Once you enter the casino, you will be taken over by the music, fragrance, and the alluding interior design that attracts, and seduces you. These are often conscious techniques employed by the casino to make the players stay back longer. It is known to the world that casinos make efforts to pull back the players into them.
One such myth existing in this regard is that casinos use oxygen in their game floors. It is so popular across various communities as well. It goes on that casinos pump out fresh oxygen inside their walls to keep gamblers more active and awake. That’s why a player who once gets inside the casinos, reuters to come out or has the tendency to go back in again.
The reality behind casinos pumping out oxygen
The reality is that it’s not real, just a myth. No casino or any other establishment can pump out oxygen to keep their customers awake. The only place that will breathe you oxygen through a mask to keep you alive is the hospital.
Also, there is no logical reasoning for this. Let us explore more.
The science behind casinos pumping out oxygen
This age-old myth is not even scientifically legit. You need oxygen to survive, it is true. However, this oxygen naturally occurs in the air, that’s how life became possible on Earth. It is not possible to pump oxygen inside a place.
Also, more oxygen does not mean more energy. There is a limit of oxygen that your lungs can intake. If more oxygen is pumped, it will lead to breathing difficulty and can even cause fatal damage.
The financial perspective of pumping out oxygen
Oxygen is present in abundance in the air, produced by plants through the process of photosynthesis. However, it does not mean that you can just collect this oxygen, store it, and use it however you want on your own accord.
Now, just consider a hypothetical scenario, where the casinos purchase oxygen to ‘pump it in their main floor’. A casino will have to spend more than 100 US dollars to purchase a standard cylinder of usable-grade pure oxygen. The cylinders are single use and to fill oxygen in the vast casino area thousands of cylinders have to be used. The annual cost for this can shoot up to nearly half a million!

How do such myths find a place in pop culture?
It seems that rumors and myths travel way faster, even than light, to reach every nook and corner. People may not be aware of all the realities being casinos or the real strategies that they enable to seduce gamblers. However, everyone would be aware of myths. So, you will need to practice selective listening.
Popular TV shows, movies, and pop references play a major role in helping all these myths to find their place in society. When top shows and celebrities promote such things or even refer to anything, then it has a great potential of skyrocketing to trending news.
How to identify casino myths?
You need to have clear and smart thinking. When you hear something think about its practicality and also take a look at it from the perspective of science. Make sure that you get help from others who are seasoned in casino and gambling-related matters. Try to be skeptical about the things that you hear.
What’s more important is that you don’t spread such things. If you have just heard something and are not sure about its relevance or reality behind it, it is better that you do not share it with another circle. It is often our mouths that play the biggest part in spreading myths.
Make sure that you are a responsible citizen by not playing a part in the dissemination of false information.
