What are the sounds of blackjack? Well, there is the
quiet murmur of the crowd around the table. There is the slick noise
of playing cards leaving the deck and sliding across the table to the
player’s hand. There are the exclamations of joy when a player wins
and the sighs of loss when it is the deal with the better hand. And
then, there is the purr of the cat. Now this last sound can only be
heard if one of playing online blackjack. And in that game, the other
sounds are all simulated, if the player chooses the option to hear
sounds. But the purr of the cat can be absolutely real. Not only
that, but it is even recommended that one hear this sound since it
can actually help boost concentration during a game of blackjack. We
don’t know why, but the sound of a contented cat releases chemicals
into the brain that help one avoid distraction and focus on the game
at hand. Everyone knows that blackjack is a game that rewards those
who can focus and follow a strategy. It is no surprise that so many
people who play online do so while there pet is sitting comfortably
in their lap and purring away. It may sound hard to believe, but just
ask someone who plays and you will be surprised by how many people
swear by the “cat” method of increasing concentration by petting
their cat and listening to the sounds that he makes.
