The 'no 90 degree turns' rule is part of Bill Friedman's casino design principles. The idea is that sharp, right-angle turns act as decision points that could lead a player to consider leaving the casino. By using gentle curves and angles in the walkways, casinos can subtly guide players through the space without triggering the decision-making part of their brains, keeping them engaged with the gaming equipment for longer periods.
