About Maura

These are the musings of one who has reached her three score and ten (70) and who always yearned to travel, but somehow, life got in the way.

Contrary to the old adage that life begins at forty - it doesn’t, life begins whenever you want it to, and for me that was when I recognised that there’s still a big world out there, and I had to make the effort to see it.

Play gambling to build your intelligence!

Can you imagine that playing games of chance at an online casino https://pokiesurf-australia.com/ not only makes you rich, but also trains your concentration, memory and logic? The benefits of these entertainments are many, even if society does not look favourably on them. Poker, blackjack, table games and even slot machines help you develop useful skills while having fun. If you are interested in this topic, read on.

Games of chance to boost your skills

Gambling has always been a popular form of entertainment in the world. Today, thanks to the rise of the best online casinos they are becoming even more available, getting new features and offering new benefits. It is no wonder that scientists are interested in the effects of games on the human brain and its psychology. Numerous studies on these entertainments have shown that they can have a considerable influence on people's creativity. We think that this topic deserves a few words of explanation.

Benefits of games for concentration

Concentration is the first skill that is developed through gambling. Games, especially poker and blackjack, require players to stay focused and think hard. It is like taking an exam. The player must do everything possible to make a good decision. Poker requires a lot of experience and skill and it contributes enormously to the development of concentration.

Memory also benefits

Games of chance are a great help to the memory. Here we have to distinguish between two types of memory, the long-term and the short-term or working memory:

some games of chance have many rules and types of bets to remember. For example, roulette has inside and outside bets, while poker requires players to know the combination of cards. They also have to remember the value of the cards or all the symbols on the slot machines. That's a lot of information to hold in your head, but you are training your long-term memory.

Regarding short term memory, poker and other card games benefit the most. To win you have to pay attention to your opponents' cards and those that are out of play. It also helps you to understand the bluff of other players. Playing stimulates your attention and your ability to remember a lot of important data.
