So you see even if everything depends on luck and circumstances there are many people even non-Chinese are following Fengshui practices.

How about you? Do you have Fengshui practice that you're observing when you are about to play or while playing

I had no idea casinos would use Fengshui to help in designing the layouts. It kind of makes sense now because Fengshui is trying to achieve harmony through only using round shapes. A friend had his apartment setup with a ying and yang approach, so not using any edges or squares, everything has to be round and a fixed place to get the most positive energy out of it. I am not really believing all of this, but it makes a little sense now. I noticed myself that casinos are build up like a long maze with no real start and finish, it's like a flow of water that keeps on moving, you can spend hours and hours in a casino walking around. The design seems similar to adventure parks where you want to let the guest feel excitement all along the way and the whole design is buildup to make everything feel bigger that it is in reality.

Yes, this is an interesting marketing and at the same time philosophical decision. 

Gambling involves winning or losing the player.  At the same time, the main emphasis in them is on the process of the game, and not on the result.  This is what feng shui principles are for. 

A casino is a place where time flows, but is not fixed.  It is like a fairy tale, the hero of which spent 30 years in the fairy kingdom, and when he left it, he was amazed that all the inhabitants of his village had grown old. 

However, he himself did not feel the passage of time.  This is the essence of the casino. 

No wonder there are no clocks in any casino.  The clock distracts the player from the "endless" process of the game.
