NOTTINGHAM’S biggest regeneration scheme for decades will begin in earnest in the coming weeks following the granting of planning approval for the first phase of The Island Quarter. The plans for Canal Turn today (23 September) received planning consent from Nottingham City Council, with work scheduled to start on site in November. The approved phase will include a three-storey 2,000 sqm pavilion on the waterfront, featuring two restaurants, circa 500 sqm of events space with panoramic views and a large rooftop terrace, forming the opening phase of development on the 40-acre site. The plans also feature provision for a bandstand and a substantial area of new, attractive public realm – all of which will open up the canal basin area, enhancing one of Nottingham’s most under-utilised assets. The first phase will also include extensive improvement works to the canal at the London Road end of the site, which will help form a focal point for The Island Quarter. Christopher Ware, property director of Conygar, the developer behind the scheme, said: “We are delighted that planning for Canal Turn has been granted. We’ve worked closely with Nottingham City Council to progress the application and ensure that we can get started promptly on what is a landmark site not just for the city, but the region as a whole. “Canal Turn marks the first stage of a development that will create a unique, year-round destination for the city, as well as a thriving and vibrant new community for Nottingham.” Having been granted outline planning consent for the former Boots Island site in April 2019, the team behind the development worked closely with the city’s planning and regeneration team on the Section 106 agreement, which was signed off earlier this year. Richard Watson, director of Conygar Nottingham, said: “Throughout this process, we’ve been committed to creating a development that reflects Nottingham and enhances its credentials as a first-rate city. “We’ve worked closely with the city and the design team to put together these plans for a development, which will be of huge benefit to the local economy and will create thousands of jobs during the build phase and beyond.” The overall plans for the site, which has been derelict for many years, will bring new homes, grade A office space, creative spaces, a lifestyle hotel, PRS apartments and co-working space, a ‘linear’ park and vibrant community and event space as well as student accommodation to the city. Councillor David Mellen, leader of Nottingham City Council, said: “It’s really pleasing to see not just new developments taking place in Nottingham, but major developments like The Island Quarter and on such a huge, transformative scale. “Not many places have the opportunity to create a new addition to their city like this, with 40 acres of land prime for redevelopment so close to the city centre. It will become a major asset to Nottingham, connecting nearby neighbourhoods to the city centre through an area long overdue for redevelopment. “The plans to provide a mix of places to live, work and play will perfectly complement the other redevelopments across the southside area, and hopefully this first phase is a sign of the quality of the developments to come on site. We’re pleased to be working with Conygar on creating this new space for our city and like many others, I look forward to watching it change before us.”
Bull Products, a manufacturer of life-saving fire protection equipment, is taking site safety to new heights during the expansion of the University of Brighton’s largest campus. Bull Products is helping to secure the safety of the workforce of leading construction company, Bouygues UK, as it delivers the multi-million development for Uliving, a student accommodation developer. The accommodation will provide over 800 student bedrooms and new fitness and social facilities at its Moulsecoomb campus. Bull is protecting the site with the Cygnus Wireless Alarms including the Fire Call Point & First Aid Alarm. This market-leader temporary fire alarm and evacuation system offers heightened site safety, ensuring workers can distinguish if a fire or first aid alarm is raised. In the case of a first aid alert, each device beeps intermittently every eight seconds. Matt Trigwell, Sales Director at Bull Products, says: “Our experience of installing our wireless fire alarms in high-rise buildings means we are well suited to protect the University of Brighton throughout the different stages of development. “A cause and effect functionality has been set up between zones which allows different personnel in each zone to escape in a controlled manner, therefore reducing accidents and trips during any evacuation.” Bull Products’ fire extinguisher trolleys, equipped with fire extinguishers and alarms, also ensure all safety equipment is stored in one convenient place. An ideal solution for larger sites, the equipment can be moved around as the site develops, offering maximum site protection where and when it is needed the most. Nicolas Amice, Site Manager at Bouygues UK, adds: “The Cygnus alarm system has been extremely efficient and reliable and has met the needs of what we required for this particular project. We are proud to be supporting Uliving, our student accommodation developer partner and sister company that is investing in the future of students by transforming its facilities and we are also delighted to be working with Bull to ensure health and safety is optimised.” For more information, contact Bull on 01432 371170, visit www.bullproducts.co.uk or email enquiries@bullproducts.co.uk
Henry Brothers Midlands has completed the refurbishment of a hangar at RAF Waddington to convert it into a joint training facility, on behalf of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO). Simulators allow certain forms of training to be undertaken without the need for flying, which represents a significant cost saving. The new facility at RAF Waddington acts as a central hub which connects existing RAF simulators around the country, allowing multiple simulators to work together in daily repeatable exercises. The work has been undertaken by Henry Brothers Midlands at a cost of about £8m. The project team faced a number of challenges including working around RAF training periods and carefully timing noisy work to reduce disruption. RAF personnel were training only three metres away from parts of the work, so the team built a temporary wall and adapted their construction techniques and hours of work to make sure they did not interrupt training. A great relationship with the Air Battlespace Training Facility was vital to make sure they could continue training to maximum effect. Like everyone, the team also had to deal with the impact of COVID-19. Work halted in March for four weeks while steps were taken to ensure the project could continue safely. It also understandably caused a delay in delivery of materials needed for the project but a proactive attitude and close working relationships between DIO, Henry Brothers Midlands, the RAF and Boeing UK helped to reduce the impact. DIO’s Project Manager, Dan Wilmott, said: “I’m really pleased with how everyone pulled together not just to deal with the many challenges presented by construction in the age of COVID-19, but also throughout the rest of the project. The end result is a tremendous facility which will be of great benefit to the team at RAF Waddington and RAF aircrew community across the country.” Air Cdre David Bradshaw, Senior Responsible Owner for the Gladiator programme, said: “The completion of this infrastructure project is the first stage of a larger programme of the Royal Air Force’s future synthetic training capability. This new capability, known as Gladiator, will provide a step-change in the ability of our front-line Forces to train together in operationally realistic situations to meet an ever-increasing adversary threat. “The successful completion of this project is a shining example of collaboration between the Royal Air Force as an end user, DIO as the delivery agent and Henry Brothers Midlands as the construction partner to deliver a facility to meet the future requirements of collective synthetic training.” Wg Cdr David Williams, Officer Commanding the Air Battlespace Training Centre, said: “My team and I have been working closely with the Programme and DIO teams throughout the design and construction process to ensure our requirements were fully understood and met. I have been really impressed by the collaborative approach everyone involved has taken to work as one team to deliver this new facility. We are very excited to take over this facility and work towards the delivery of the next generation collective synthetic training exercises.” Managing Director at Henry Brothers Midlands, Ian Taylor, said: “This project is the latest in a number of defence projects undertaken by Henry Brothers Midlands in recent times and the third consecutive development at RAF Waddington. We are delighted to have handed over the facility and look forward to continuing our relationship with the base.” Nottingham-based Henry Brothers Midlands is part of The Henry Group, which comprises a number of manufacturing and construction sector companies, ranging from external construction through to interiors fit-out. In partnership with clients, it has a proven track record in defence, along with education, accommodation, commercial, industrial, transport and healthcare sectors. The newly-refurbished hangar has now been handed over to RAF Waddington’s Air Battlespace Training Centre, who will run the facility and work with Boeing Defence UK, to co-ordinate the fit-out of the simulator equipment.
Health and safety inspectors across Great Britain will be targeting construction firms to check that their health standards are up to scratch during a month-long inspection initiative, starting on Monday 5 October. This is the fourth health-focused initiative of its kind. As in previous years, inspections will focus on respiratory risks and occupational lung disease; looking at the measures businesses have in place to protect their workers’ lungs from the likes of asbestos, silica and wood dust. This is part of HSE’s longer term health and work strategy to improve health within the construction industry. While the primary focus will be on health during this programme of inspections, if a HSE inspector identifies any other areas of concern, they will take the necessary enforcement action to deal with them. This will include making sure that businesses are doing all they can to protect their workers from the risk of coronavirus and make workplaces COVID-secure. Inspectors will also be looking for evidence of employers and workers knowing the risks, planning their work and using the right controls. If necessary, they will use enforcement to make sure people are protected. The health and safety construction initiative will be supported by HSE’s ‘Dustbuster’ campaign, aimed to influence employer behaviour by encouraging builders to download free guidance and advice, increasing knowledge and capability to protect workers’ health. More than 3,500 builders die each year from cancers related to their work, with thousands more cases of ill-health and working days lost. HSE’s chief inspector of construction, Sarah Jardine, said: “Around 100 times as many workers die from diseases caused or made worse by their work than are actually killed in construction accidents. “Our inspection initiatives ensure that inspectors are able to speak to dutyholders and visit sites to look at the kind of action businesses in the construction industry are taking right now to protect their workers’ health, particularly when it comes to exposure to dust and damage to lungs. “There are a few simple things that everyone can do to make sure they are protecting their health and their future. Be aware of the risks associated with activities you do every day, recognise the dangers of hazardous dust and consider how it can affect your health. We want businesses and their workers to think of the job from start to finish and avoid creating dust by working in different ways to keep dust down and wear the right mask and clothing.”
Whether you’re planning a refurbishment or starting a new development, creating a healthy office building needs to be higher on your agenda than ever before. Healthy buildings might not be something that many have previously considered when choosing to develop, purchase or rent a commercial space and almost definitely not when applying for jobs, but Covid-19 has changed the global landscape and we are thinking about our health now more than ever. So how can you create a healthy building? There are a number of factors to consider: AirThe design of the ventilation system is so important. Think about getting in the highest amount of fresh air possible and getting it moving through your building, with less air recycled. More fresh air leads to increased brain function which in turn leads to higher productivity. Filter the air at source to rid it of particulates and microbes as far as possible. WaterDrinking water should be filtered. To attain the highest quality drinking water, we suggest UV disinfecting and localised carbon filters can be fitted at every drinking water outlet with additional carbon filters just before you drink. MaterialsUse clean materials which will not introduce pollutants into the building. Use materials which do not harbour microbes, e.g. use copper for tea-making surfaces rather than plastics which allow viruses to ‘survive’ on their surface for extended periods. People movementBuild healthily, incorporating multiple stairwells in new builds to allow passage of people from one floor to another with no over-crowding. Refurbish existing stairwells to allow a more enhanced user experience and encourage use of stairs rather than the lift. This reduces microbial transmission and increases opportunity for exercise within the working day. LightingEnsure access to daylight for all staff and windows that people can look out of, where possible, preferably over a green space (difficult in some places where you may need to bring the green indoors – see below). Heating and coolingDesign your building to be not only thermally efficient but to keep a constant temperature with feedback controls. People are uncomfortable when temperatures are too low and lose concentration when temperatures increase. Increased temperatures also encourage the reproduction of microbes. SoundProvide quiet areas as well as areas with background noise so people can choose to work where they feel most productive. Smart technologyUse automated smart technology to track occupancy densities, air and water quality as well as humidity and temperature. Add plantsHumans, in general, are happier in a green space or by a window where they can see a green space. Bring the green space into your building by using a planting consultant who will can design where your plants will go and select plants which absorb higher levels of carbon dioxide and produce more oxygen, thus increasing air quality at the same time as providing a calming and inspiring space to work.

Nottingham-based luxury home developer, North Sands Developments, has started construction works on a new sought-after luxury residential scheme in the Beeston area. Located in the Bramcote Village Conservation Area near Beeston, the development – known as ‘Cow Lane’, will comprise of one four-bedroom and three five-bedroom detached executive-style homes, ranging from £775,000 to £1million. Expected for completion in summer 2021, the luxury properties will be situated in a cul de sac accessed through a private road and will boast landscaped gardens, open plan living areas, spacious bedrooms, bespoke bathrooms and kitchens, and high-spec finishings throughout. Close to Queens Medical Centre, Boots HQ, Nottingham University and Junction 25 of the M1, Cow Lane is the second North Sands development in the Beeston area, following the sought-after leafy Mulberry Close development that was completed last year. Following the acquisition of the land and the granting of planning permission, demolition works began in August at Cow Lane, which was previously the site of a large bungalow. Construction works commenced on 1st September and once built, early purchasers will have the opportunity to choose from a range of fixtures and fittings to put their own stamp on their new homes. At this stage, a purchaser would be able to choose kitchen layouts and appliances along with tiles, bathroom finishes and floor finishes throughout the house, using the highest quality materials including Porcelanosa Tiling, Duravit sanitaryware, Siemens, AEG or Miele kitchens, underfloor heating and fibre broadband. In addition to this, the purchasers can spend time with the North Sands Developments independent interior designer and design team throughout the whole process, ensuring the best possible individual finish. James Hartley, director at North Sands Developments, said: “Following the success of Mulberry Close, we are excited to be designing and building more homes in this great area of Nottinghamshire, and properties have been carefully designed by architects and interior designers to fit in with the surrounding neighbourhood. “Situated within the Bramcote conservation area in a beautifully preserved and quiet village environment – Cow Lane is nestled in one of the most desirable locations in Nottingham, providing professionals and families with spacious, quality living spaces within convenient reach of Boots HQ, Queen’s Medical Centre, the University of Nottingham and major road routes including the A52 and M1, as well as many quality schools, public parks and transport links to Nottingham city centre. “Beeston is a fantastic town centre that is constantly evolving and improving. With plans for Beeston Square – a new cinema complex with bars, restaurants and retail outlets – taking shape, now is a great time to purchase a home for the long term, especially with the government announcement of the stamp duty holiday until March 31st next year. Prospective homeowners that register interest early will also have the pick of our quality fixtures and fittings options, to ensure homes are built to a bespoke specification.” Steve Parker, director of sales agent FHP Living, said: “We are delighted to be acting for North Sands Developments again on such an exciting site. This is a great opportunity for prospective buyers to work with this quality builder and developer, to have an input in choice and colours, with an independent interior designer to really put their personal stamp on these stunning new build homes. Now is a great time to talk to us and North Sands to start the ball rolling on a most enjoyable journey to your new home”. North Sands Developments is working alongside Taynton Construction, Peter Greenwood Architects and Nick Grace Planning for this housing scheme and the development will be marketed through FHP Living. The new development has already received a large amount of interest and properties are expected to be available to move into by summer 2021 – contact Jules or Steve at FHP Living to register interest for Cow Lane. Award-winning developer North Sands has delivered high-spec schemes in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Salcombe in Devon since inception.
THE IMPACT of Covid-19 on every aspect of life is undeniable. As the pandemic began to spread throughout March 2020, no one could have foretold the ways in which this disease would change society. One industry that has remained open throughout lockdown and been forced to quickly innovate is construction – and Matt Linekar and Stephen Moore from contractor Willmott Dixon have been at the forefront. Gone are the days where you could enjoy a concert surrounded by tens of thousands of people, or hug those outside of your household as a friendly greeting. Instead, we now live in a world of social distancing and masked outings. But the impact of Covid-19 isn’t just those changes staring us in the face. There are more subtle, underlying ramifications that are yet to be explored completely – such as alterations in building design. The question is, are Covid-related changes we are now seeing in building design here to stay, or a passing trend as the industry attempts to guide itself back to normality when the pandemic is over? A change in requirements One of the biggest changes in building design is the importance that is now being placed on ventilation. The need for proper circulation and fresh air to reduce the risk of contamination has never been more prominent – especially in the education sector where large groups of students must move around the building during regular intervals. This requirement also means that designers must think about the importance of flexibility to be able to purge the air in classrooms, and also consider window patterns and wall fans and their impact on the acoustics of these rooms. The care sector is another one that must adapt to changing times and, again, consider the importance of ventilation in communal areas or corridors that could be the hub of cross contamination. Many care homes are now drawing on primary care regimes and lobbying rooms to protect infected patients, altering facilities to increase the safety of both staff and residents. But, with providers in these sectors already struggling to source funds and a potential vaccine set to hit the UK in 2021, many of these measures may not be instigated. Stephen Moore, preconstruction manager at Willmott Dixon, said: “We have seen a variety in responses from our customers, with some not wanting to make significant, long-term changes to a problem that is deemed to be short-term. Cost management is key when it comes to these alterations, but many businesses are struggling to weigh up the short-term benefits with the financial impact that it can have on the outgoings of a project. “This response is being reflected by local authorities. Spatial problems are undeniable when discussing social distancing in schools, but councils don’t have the money, space or desire to make long-term changes to facilitate social distancing measures, and we are seeing many private sector companies take a similar stance. There is a focus for adapting operational policy rather than a significant change to buildings and the way they are designed to function.” Perfecting the process It’s not just the elements of design that have been impacted by Covid-19, but also the process in which these designs are created. The informal nature of construction sites means that social distancing is often hard to maintain. With a mountain of competing factors to contend with – such as the need for team work, the variety of jobs that have to be completed simultaneously and strict time scales that have to be adhered to – contractors have had to make dramatic changes to ensure staff stay socially distant while working on projects. This has meant for many firms, including Willmott Dixon, that focusing on off-site fabrication has helped the design process. Matt Linekar, head of building services at Willmott Dixon, said: “One of the key things that the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated is off-site manufacturing and the different ways in which we might be able to utilise modern methods of construction (MMC). “MMC is already a hot topic for the industry and the pandemic has simply enhanced this – and the last few months has given us the opportunity to explore the options in more detail and will no doubt continue to play a part in construction projects in the longer-term.” Long-term or short-term The construction industry is one that has never stopped working, so very quickly firms were forced to adopt new ways of working to help protect their teams and prevent the spread of Covid-19, all while ensuring that essential building projects did not stall. Matt added: “Distancing on site – and within the wider community – is probably here to stay, so as an industry we are having to find ways to accommodate that, but whether or not there will actually be long-term design implications remains to be seen. “The short-term response has been one of meeting practical challenges on sites and moving forwards with a different way of working, but the reality is that the construction industry is a very competitive marketplace – potentially even more so as the government has positioned the built environment at the forefront of the recovery strategy. “The government is encouraging a ‘build back better’ approach but there are inevitably cost implications associated with that and without legislation to demand improved standards and a force for change.” Should we change the approach to building design? There are potentially significant positives associated with a change in design focus, especially when you consider the environmental targets the UK is working towards and the impact more sustainable building would have. Stephen added: “Moving towards a focus on whole life cost is an important first step – but that will rely heavily on customers adopting a shift in mindset, thinking about overall value rather than initial outlay. It’s challenging, especially against a backdrop of a damaged economy and already stretched budgets, especially within the public sector. “Sustainability will be key, but that is something that has been put somewhat on the backburner for
If you are hoping to refurbish your office, then you may find it difficult to know where to start. It may be that you have a specific look in mind, but you are overwhelmed with the amount of choices that are available. On the flip side, if you only want to change a couple of details in the workplace then you may still find it hard to know what’s going to benefit your team and what isn’t. Open up your Space It doesn’t matter how big or how small your space might be because you can always end up making the most out of it by introducing a more open-plan layout. If this means knocking down your office partition taking down cubes or even rearranging desks, then you need to make sure that you do this. If you do, then you will soon find that your open-office layout is way more efficient and that you are also able to capitalise on a much bigger space too. Adding More Light Another thing that you can do is try and add more light to your space. There’s no better workspace than one that is super bright and airy. Natural light has proven time and time again to make people way happier and much more productive. This can be useful if you have the ultimate goal of building an efficient workforce. It’s helpful to make sure that your office space allows as much light in as possible, and there are a few ways that you can do this. You can either add some skylights, or you can try and install some artificial lighting. Adding more windows could also be an option. Remember that any changes you do, may require you to make changes to your insurance policy, so look up business insurance quotes if you can. Consider Glass Partitions One of the best and the easiest ways for you to keep your office up to date would be for you to try and install some glass partitions. They are often seen in glass-fronted sky-scrapers that are in city centres. Glass partitions are ideal if you want to maximise the amount of natural light, not to mention that it’s a great alternative when compared to solid walls and doors. The great thing about this is that they won’t disrupt the design of your space, in fact, they can actually enhance it. Create some Break-out Spaces Most modern offices are more than just rooms filled up to the brim with desks and computers. If you want to give your team the help, they need to stay calm and collected at work then break-out spaces are ideal. You would be surprised at how much they could help your team to stay focused and they can also help you to give them the mental break they need from work. Break-out spaces could include having games consoles, or even bean bags so they can relax. Either way, you need to make sure that you incorporate this into your new building design.
There’s no denying the fact that games occupy an important place in our society. From the humble grandparents still playing Wii Fit to the young teens owning someone in Destiny 2 right now, games have a unique way of connecting us all. When it comes to playing games, every gamer has a different choice. Some love the immersive worlds of games, while others enjoy the social and competitive aspects of gaming. Some tend to play mobile games at https://www.theonlinecasino.co.uk/mobile-casino/ and other mobile casinos on the go, while others enjoy playing video games from the comfort of their home. Though there are differences between the gamer and the game, one truth runs through many, if not all games – And that is players get tense. Difficult or competitive games tend to be stressful sometimes, and when life deals you stress, it can be helpful to use a little bit of CBD as it will give you the benefits of a calmer body and mind while gaming. Here are the top four games to play on CBD. Teamfight Tactics Teamfight Tactics (TFT) is a round-based strategy game that pits you against seven opponents in a free-for-all race to build a powerful team that fights on your behalf. In TFT, new and stronger champions are released on the buying market to allow you to customize and create the best team possible. But the game gets frustrating when you are riding at the top of the rankings and slowly fall to the bottom as stronger teams spring from your opponents. In that case, having a CBD gummy and taking a deep breath can really help you. Knights of the Old Republic Developed by BioWare, Knight of the Old Republic (KOTOR) is a role-playing video game set in the Star Wars universe. This old game is a masterpiece and might arguably be the best Star Wars story ever created. In KOTOR, you start off as a random Joe Everyman, who wakes up on a ship in the middle of a galactic space battle. You need to escape and defend yourself quickly because there is an empire of enemies looking to kill you. There are some tough spots in the game, so a dash of CBD won’t hurt. Call of Duty: Mobile Call of Duty has been a triple AAA series for decades now, owing to its multiplayer functionality and the amazing customization features. If you’ve played Call of Duty before, you might be aware of the fact that knowing the maps better than your room is vital to performing better against top-tier players. Also, even a slight finch while turning a corner can leave you dead, so it is probably going to build stress. And this is where the role of CBD steps in. Fortnite Combining classic third-person-shooter gameplay with a clever sandbox building mechanic, Fortnite is one of the most exciting video games to play right now. In an attempt to attract gamers of all ages, Fortnite features game characters doing dances in various sequences, and various other things. In Fortnite, you have to indulge yourself in a stress-inducing fight for your life. And this is where CBD will help you. *** BONUS GAME – Should you like to play a more strategy game them why don’t you try SpiderSolitaireMasters and enjoy your time.
Music can transform you, physically and emotionally. A variety of experiments have been done to validate how music affects us at a neurological stage. It can shape our understanding of reality, influence our actions and influence our psychology. There is so much influence in music, so much so that the casinos use it to inspire customers to spend more time in the establishments. Music influences every person differently and can be used to have a psychological effect on what one thinks, feels and does. The Use of Music in the Background Different types of music elicit different emotions in a person. For example, some playlists may encourage a client to walk faster or slower in a shopping centre. Some playlists can encourage one to spend more money like a casino. Today, given the variety of choices, this effect is particularly prevalent. Some businesses often use music to minimize the time that customers spend waiting in line. Music in Casinos Music is primarily used to create a certain atmosphere or to maintain a mood. The objective of the music is to make patrons feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during the gambling experience so that they spend long periods playing their favourite casino games. The more time one spends enjoying their experience at the casino, the likelihood of them spending more money ultimately increases. The music played in casinos can either amplify gambling behaviour into a fast-paced frenzy or lull patrons into a soothing sense of comfort that makes them forget about time altogether. It’s not just used in land-based casinos either, the soundtracks that accompany online casino games have also been given plenty of thought, and are used to great effect. Music impacts on casino gamblers in the following ways: Creating an environment for the players. Influencing betting habits & turnover The sound effects with music influence the players to continue playing. The Different Tempos of Music and their Effect Quick tempo music raises the betting pace considerably, which translates into casino turnover. However, this leads to a substantial reduction in the time a player spends gambling. The use of slow-tempo music has the opposite effect on players. It inspires players to consider when they place bets and make their next moves, e.g. during competitions or tournaments. This computing activity has motivated players to prolong their stay at the casino considerably, regardless of whether they win or lose. The music played in the gambling halls often depends on the prevailing crowd at that particular time. If it’s the older crowd, there might be jazz music playing in the background. The younger crowd prefers the night and most likely the casino will be playing rock and roll. Online Casinos and Music The effect of casino music is such that even online casinos have not been able to stay away from using it to improve user experience. In reality, there are a variety of online casinos that are inspired by popular music bands and have their graphics and designs based on them. This is not only a welcome break from the proliferation of online casinos with the same old video slots and table games but also a breakthrough in the technology used to build these online casino games. Many UK online roulette games also use smooth and tranquil music to set the mood of the players and give them a calm mind. To sum up Casinos are wonderful places that create illusions and prey on the emotions of their customers. They know how to cater to the emotions and intelligence of the consumers, and that’s how they succeed in keeping their customers hitched. Music plays a crucial role in this sector, and casinos use their customers’ musical sensitivities to promote the desired consumer behaviour.
