Just be aware that as there are many bitcoin casinos, there are also many which are very much not recommended fro many reasons.
Before you send any crypto elsewhere, because its irreversible, make sure to read some good review and make sure you know that you keep yourself and your funds save!

If you are not sure, ask

Indeed, as time goes by there are many inventions out there that could benefit all casino platform. Nowadays many gamer are using bitcoin as their medium in every gaming casinos.
The numbers are increasing or not is still not backed without proof. People here say this without providing proof so it is still a speculation. Considering the fact that fiat has a much bigger usage that bitcoin, fiat casinos are the more in number and frequency. Maybe the number of bitcoin casino players are also increasing but that increment is very small. Otherwise we would have seen a big boom which is still absent.

But there are some countries doesn't not welcome bitcoins as they medium in playing them, I guess because of it's volatile and everyday can change the value of it. Not just like fiat currencies that has a fixed value on it.
Thats is irrelevant in this case. A country where bitcoin is illegal does not come when you are trying to calculate the usage in legal form. Of course off the charts transactions occur but adding those into a statistical data would become tough.

If you are a business-minded into your casino you need to adapt to the changes because from the previous years we are using the fiat currency just to play gambling and today one of the easiest ways of the transaction is with the bitcoin by just sending your address you can now make it easy to transfer your funds and many gambling casinos already do this because it is less hassle and also it is secured too. The use of bitcoin is to make easier the process of the traditional way. Still, we are looking forward that the people who will use this.
Indeed. Since everything is starting to get some upgrade it would be better if some casinos will start to adapt blockchain technology and bitcoin because the use of bitcoin in casinos could be much convenient and less hassle for every gambler who has bitcoin or cryptocurrencies when it comes of making transactions.

Even if there was an opportunity of gambling directly with bitcoin, I would have advised to not go for that. Risking world’s most precious asset in risky game like gambling will eventually become regret. Instead of wasting bitcoin here, it would be much better to forget about bitcoin for few months and then come back. You will be richer than your expectations. Bitcoin holders should recognize worth of their holding.
Someone wanted to become rich with bitcoin but is not willing to spend bitcoin as a currency is odd. Do you know that the best thing for bitcoin to happen is to become an ordinary currency just like fiats? The best way for bitcoin to become very valuable is to become the currency for everyone? Bitcoin will fail if everyone's mentality is like you.

This is complete bullshit. Where do you see gold being spent like a currency? You don't! Can you say that gold failed because people have mentality of hoarders? No!
I know that Satoshi wanted Bitcoin to be a currency but if it becomes digital gold and a store of value it won't fail. It will only have different use than what its creator had imagined.

Gambling with bitcoin to hold the winnings is also a legit use.
When this two combine then it will attract many players to play gamble but most of them they will not used bitcoin for payment due to its an expected value. For me if I have Bitcoin then surely I will hold it than spent it for casino because its really regretful to not take the opportunity to hold it for long time. When playing in casino its better to used fiat but Im not promoting to do gamble because still is not good if too much on it.

I have worked for a few years in a casino and I couldn't help but imagine that people should be able to gamble with bitcoin.

Is it already happening? - I don't mean on the internet

And do you think this will be future of casinos?
You mean, playing in casino in real life and having Bitcoin as a bet? It seems impossible I guess. Bitcoin is a digital money and as far as I know it can only access through the use of internet, meaning any transaction regards with this form of currency can only executable online unless Bitcoin have a physical coin that can be used in physical transactions or activities. In my case, it is enough for me to use cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin for online transaction where it perfectly originated.
Playing in a traditional casino with bitcoin is not impossible rather an option that casinos need to introduce for their customers. Bitcoin and ethereum are already being use by many online casinos and in the similar way, land casinos can offer this opportunity. If the casino has its own wallets then it is possible to gamble with crypto currencies. This will happen later if not sooner, just a matter of time.

Considering the capital hold with casinos, I dont think that the casinos would move from public ledgers to crypto keeping in mind their proneness to hacking. Crypto being decentralized and anonymous make them not suitable for traditional casinos environment.

It's not that we suggest land based casinos to change the way they operate and go online

Actually, that remains an open-ended question, so to speak

The truth is, we don't know what drives land-based casino operators, what is on their mind, and because the online gambling business seems to be on the rise (rather, it has been on the rise since 2013 and early PrimeDice times), we don't know for certain if these operators are not in fact behind some of these businesses. Do we know who is actually behind this or that casino other than some nickname over here? We don't know that, but given the financial leverage land-based casinos certainly have, they may have already been in the online gambling business and since long ago (keeping it quiet as they always do)

Bitcoin and ethereum are already being used by gamblers in gambling game and the casino just provides this feature.
The digital things only use at online casinos. For the offline casinos, I think it will be difficult if you use BTC/eth at the table.
IMO about offline casino's transaction, your BTC/eth must be deposited at the casino's wallet then exchange for casino's coin.
Maybe the casino's exchange rate: 1 coin = 1 sat  Cheesy

Do you mean traditional casino but adopt Bitcoin??   I think it will be very interesting because each player does not have to bother carrying a suitcase with large amounts of fiat money to traditional casino..  each player will be safe because every transaction they make is only in devices that store other Bitcoin/Crypto wallets such as smartphones, laptops, and watches.  I'm sure the future of traditional & modern casino will adopt digital money and cryptocurrencies.

I don't think that the gamblers will carry a suitcase because if in the traditional casino, every rich people will use a check or card to buy the coin in that casino so that it will help them to prevent the thief. But if the casino can transform by using bitcoin for making a bet, I think that would be simple than the check or card, because they don't need to use that thing and they only scan the barcode to convert their coin with the casino coin. Yes, maybe that will happen in the future after the government accepts cryptocurrency.
i think it will be better to not ask the casino for the coin. Bitcoin and ethereum are already being used by gamblers in gambling game and the casino just provides this feature. You must have these digital coins beforehand. Like for gambling with fiat, gamblers have fiat before gambling. If a casino provides the feature of buying digital currencies from them, that would end up in a lot of transactions.

But in real life casino its not happening much,even tried searching for real life casino which accepts bitcoin but didn't found any until now so only bitcoin used in online gambling ir the places were bitcoin gambled were still hiding from the public eyes?!
If you can look back to the some posts in this thread, you will see that there are local casinos that are accepting bitcoin. Yes, for real. You can't gamble directly with bitcoin but you have to buy chips first and what's good with it, is that you can buy bitcoin for it.

Yes its already possible but you would still end up on using dollars or fiat but at least they are showing some adoption.

https://www.theverge.com/2014/1/21/5331758/bitcoin-now-accepted-at-two-las-vegas-casino-hotels
https://www.gamblingsites.com/blog/vegas-casinos-accept-bitcoin-64554/

We might not able to spend directly but its good to look at about their recognition.

If you are gambling to increase bitcoin on your wallet then its wrong but if you want to gamble and have fun from it the bitcoin paves the better way for it,you can just deposit it into sites directly with no verification process and like he said you can buy chips instantly for any amount no need to wait for banks to confirm and proceed your transactions.

So basically, you are saying that traditional casinos are safer than those using crypto. If I am not wrong, gamblers do get robbed in the traditional casinos to. It is not like these give security guards to all of their customers. Crypto currencies will secure them because they are popular for their security. It is not that easy to hack them as it is to rob a person when he is physically present.

It's not that we suggest land based casinos to change the way they operate and go online. They are good on their own, but they should definitely consider exchanging Bitcoin for their chips. Gamblers who prefer physical casinos to online ones will hardly change their habits, but a part of them, and this part is growing with time, has BTC in their possession, and they want to have the opportunity of exchanging it for casino chips.

The bad thing is that we can't make use of these when will go into offline casinos. It is quite to see that online casinos are increasing in numbers just because of this.
That's because there is no massive adoption first, but just don't make things complicated, we have our local exchange right, so just convert that to fiat so we can spend it right away. I know everyone of us wants to just use bitcoin so there's no need to convert anymore, but lets give it a time, eventually as the adoption continues we might see bitcoin to be mainstream in the future, for now, let's just enjoy using it to our activities online.

For some reason everything won't get moved to the bitcoin usage. Bitcoin is all about technology, but for casino business owners it is a must to attract all levels of people. Upon this it is quite hard to see bitcoin as the only source to spend on casinos offline. Maybe in the online casinos such a scenario can change as most of the people who prefer online casinos have system knowledge.
What makes most of Bitcoin's popularity is that because of gambling. There we can see the usage of Bitcoin and some cryptos as a currency which tends to be like that rather than to consider as an investment. The bad thing is that we can't make use of these when will go into offline casinos. It is quite to see that online casinos are increasing in numbers just because of this.
