\u201cThe casino hotel I stayed at a few days ago went with blood-stained circuit board as its carpet pattern,\u201d noted the opening poster, \u201cSkittles_the_Dawn,\u201d in the thread.<\/p>\n
The post was accompanied by an image of a casino-hotel corridor with a geometric design across the floor and blood-red splotches that at times appear to seep out from under the doors of the rooms.<\/p>\n
You staying at the Bates Motel or Overlook Hotel? If you see creepy twins RUN!\u201d <\/strong>quipped one Redditor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n“This way they don\u2019t have to clean up after real bloodstains! Life hack,” wrote another.<\/p>\n
While the opening poster does not name the casino pictured, Casino.org <\/em>has identified it as the Ameristar Kansas City. And we can confirm that the resort is not a scary place. It\u2019s a family-friendly entertainment hub.<\/p>\nSo, what is<\/em> with the carpet?<\/p>\nThe Casino Carpet Myth <\/strong><\/h2>\nThere have long been rumors that casino carpets contain subliminal messages designed to keep you gambling. The carpets are busy and even \u201cugly\u201d to ensure you keep your eyes on the table, according to one theory.<\/p>\n
Some Redditors suggested this could be the secret behind Ameristar\u2019s carpet, positing the bloodlike splotches could be designed to keep you on the gaming floor because you\u2019re too scared to go back to your room.<\/p>\n
Considering it’s a casino, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did research on everything that kept guests out of their rooms and encouraged them to be in the casino,\u201d <\/strong>theorized one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nHowever, there is no real evidence for the \u201cmessages in the carpets\u201d theory. Casino carpets are probably the way they are because colorful patterns help hide wear and tear from the often-intoxicated masses and the stains they generate \u2013 food, drink, and, yes, maybe even the odd spot of blood.<\/p>\n
