Casino smell

There are multiple reasons casinos use scents. Though scents used to be pumped into the air to cover up the strong smoke smells, more recently, they have a much bigger purpose. 

Regional Fragrance

Many casinos in Las Vegas are themed, so using a scent regional to their theme helps draw visitors into the moment. Whether you actively notice it or not, every region has its own scent. 

For instance, coastal regions have a salty sea breeze scent, while you may encounter woodsy scents in mountain regions. Themed casinos in Las Vegas utilize the scents of the regions they are based on to immerse visitors further and &#;sell&#; their recreation of popular tourist destinations. 

Feelings Created By Scent

Our sense of smell is one of our strongest senses and, as we established earlier, is highly connected to our feelings and emotions. 

Every scent can create different feelings, especially if that aroma happens to be connected to a memory. The smell of bacon cooking in the kitchen may bring up feelings of comfort and hunger, while it could also make you feel love because your wife always makes it on Saturday mornings. 

A lot of studies have been done on the feelings created by specific smells, and surprisingly, they have even made some connections between certain aromas and their effect on gamblers. 

For instance, uplifting, warm scents such as geranium have been found to alleviate nervousness and anxiety, which could be helpful for a casino because their patrons are often spending more than they should on games that are typically at the mercy of chance. 

Other findings include that cleanliness scents increased gamblers&#; satisfaction with a casino. 

Scent marketing is a marketing strategy that uses olfactory stimuli to influence customers&#; buying habits. To accomplish this, a scent marketing company will create a smell that embodies the company&#;s values, target audience, and brand identity. 

For instance, a company that targets beach-goers and values passion, fun, and simplicity might have a clean, salty ocean smell so that when their customers get a whiff, they feel like they are in a pleasant environment they are familiar with. 

Casinos in Las Vegas use scent marketing to increase the amount of money gambled, keep customers within their property, and even transport you to the destination they are themed after, like Northern Italy, for instance. 

Although scent marketing is a relatively new aspect of the science of marketing, plenty of research has been done. The science on why scent marketing is highly effective is fascinating. 

A study done in published in the International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management showed that the diffusion of a scent congruent with brand image improved intention to revisit, perceptions of products and services, and guest satisfaction.

Another study completed in surveyed customers about the effectiveness of scent marketing. The majority found that a pleasurable scent did, in fact, influence their buying decisions. 

These were two recent studies, but the idea had already been brought up by Alan Hirsch, a neurologist, and psychologist, in the early s. He found that gamblers put more money in slot machines for longer when there was a pleasant aroma surrounding them versus no scent whatsoever. 

What we can gather from the almost two decades of research that has been done on scent marketing is that not only have they proven it effective, but the one thing they have all found is that the reason it works is that we smell with our brain and not our nose. 

This means that we can connect every smell from your basic perfume to the subtle scent of your lover&#;s arms with an experience and subconsciously use our smell in our decision-making process. 

Almost every Las Vegas casino has harnessed this power which is why they all have invested in creating their own unique scents.
