Like every single detail in a casino, the ugly carpet is designed to get more money out of you.
How?
These ugly and "uncomfortable" patterns are such that they push your gaze upward to the tables, people gambling, winning. This, tied in with the constant noise of slot machines paying out-even if it 50 cents a time for the most part--gets people gambling more.
Did someone actually research these carpets to get the desired behaviors? Yes, and you would cry if you knew how much money went into that "ugly" design.
