Topic: Land Based Casinos in the Digital Age - page 11. (Read 3765 times)

Its not that online casinos have already everything we want as gamblers. They have their own flaws that until now are still not addressed and given solutions, the reason why some still prefer to gamble on physical casinos and get satisfaction after every betting. Although some are definitely hooked on online casinos, but others  are still left betting in traditional casinos.

However, with the rising competition we have right now between traditional and online casinos, these traditional casinos are still expected to become more innovative and adapt the current demands of gamblers that will make their casinos last longer in the market industry.

I would not dare to open an online casino either. However, the reason would be different from paranoid - I am afraid that I will run out of money for promotion quicker than I would earn or planned in budget. Online competition is greatly larger. I find it hard to get noticed online. For land base casino it is easier, much easier. Offer free welcome drink, hand some balloons outside and you will get your first 100 customers. Moreover, people might come to my land base casino just to hang out. That would decrease my expenses. But nobody goes online just to watch others gamble.

I agree. There are still those who love going to physical casinos because of the environment and the thrill that it gives which cannot be found in playing online casino games.
That cannot be replaced easily and I think many gamblers still prefer it to gamble that way. It's not just the environment but also the service. At home playing online casino games, there's no one who would serve us food and drinks while it is being given by physical casinos without a problem.

I think what casinos should do is just adapt to the new things that are happening. Many of them have already done it and I think MGM did it already. Perhaps they just want to maximize the profits they can make and they have to follow the trend if they want their business to boom more.

I agree with you, Land based Casino would create an online site which there customers can access, I believe I have seen many doing that currently were her customers now have official online sites, while Gamblers can still come gamble physically at the land based own. The truth is, customers would still be patronising them no matter what as well another alternative from them to keep there customers and avert the disadvantages that might come because of the online Casinos. Everyone is different, Gamblers have different taste and would tend to act in opposites.

Besides that, young people can see the advertisement about gambling games easily while they browse their social media page such as Facebook, Tiktok, Youtube or others so they will know that they can playing gambling easily. They can funds their account by using their money from their parents without thinks about how if their money is gone because of playing gambling. They will not thinks that earn money is not easy but they just asks that money from their parents.

Those offline casino must adapt the current situation if they still wants to existed and runs their business among the other casino. And if the trend now is becomes online, those offline casino should try to makes their casino becomes online by hiring some employee that expert in their fields. If they can expand their business into online, their business will becomes bigger and they will have a chance to make bigger profit.

Young generation can do fast adaptation with the current situation because they smarter than the previous generation while they have many resources so they can learn while trying to find out more. We don't deny that young generation now becomes more critic with any circumstances around them but some of them are not care with what happens to others around them. But we admit that young generation can have an easy way of accessing the internet better than previous generation. It's why young generation now needs guidance from adult people who familiar with the internet so young generation not use internet for a wrong thing.

By concluding your opinion above, it is true that the current young generation has been able to adapt to the development of the era well, namely being good at running the internet well and quickly compared to the generation of last year who still had minimal knowledge in running the internet. And not only that, the current generation can be said to be the millennial generation which can be seen from their very easy way of accessing the internet network even from the guidance of others as you have conveyed, namely the current young generation can already run offline casinos into online casinos which somehow they have managed to do it.

What do you mean? isn't it obvious that you can't just put up a land base casinos if the government will not allow it, simply as that. So this is not a challenge face by land base casinos. Here in my country there are big casinos, usually funded by US/Asian casinos so there is no issue with our government what so ever. They even expanded another casino somewhere in the south. Meaning this casinos are making a lot of money and in turn they are giving huge taxes for our government. So it's very legal here, although there are some fly by night gaming and that's where our government are focusing on cracking them down. And this big casinos as well are venturing into online gambling, to compete with so much online operators as well that is allowed by the government.

Yes, the most difficult point of land-based casinos is the diplomatic relationship with the government, governments often have demands and do not encourage this type of business, so in order to be an official casino, the costs given as well as the source of relationships need to be truly broad and guaranteed. In return, once legalized easily, customers will feel more comfortable than small casinos that are not supported by the government but in reality, the digital age is leading to many highlights as well as convenience, the online casino model is gradually gaining more market share, it's also a good competition to perfect the services

Traditional and land based casinos will also look for a way to step up, if they don’t, then time will come when people will stop making use of them, or if people will still be using them, then they won’t have many customers. I notice that some casinos that started as land based casinos alone already have the online version. Maybe they already know that people patronizing them will reduce later in the future, so they already have an alternative. If you want to gamble online, you can visit their website, and if you prefer physical gambling, then it’s fine, you will still be able to gamble.

Physical casinos are not going anywhere. Online gambling has been around for decades now and both have been able to co-exist in that time. There might be ebbs and flows when laws are changed, so each category can capitalize on different changes, but generally you could imagine they would be at an equilibrium now. "Land" based casinos can draw in a completely different crowd and can often be a great socializing location for groups of players, who might make that their whole trip or end up in there after a night out. Just look at Las Vegas which always finds room to expand further, is always renovating and building new hotels on the strip and draws in millions of players each year for proof.

If I ever tried to venture in the world of gambling by opening some establishment, I think start by doing what others do here in my country, and open and small franchise of animal roulette. because it is a franchise which is already established within the country and they do it require much initial investment, it could be a straight forward process.
Though, the disadvantage would be the high competition I would have, because many have had the same idea to introduce themselves in the business.
When comes to online gambling, I don't think I would dare to open an online casino with the small budget I could get. I consider myself to be paranoid enough to be afraid of hackers and cyber criminals and end up over spending my bankroll on a strong security system, without having money to justify the enhancing of such systems. 

The reason on why there's a lot of young people participating on gambling because this platforms became easy to access since they could just browse them on internet fund their account then here you go they can easily gamble on the games they are familiar. But I also don't think there's difference between old generation since if they are adaptive on the changes on technology side especially on new way of betting then for sure they can easily learn that online casino exist and they can immediately gamble at home.


For offline casino they can adapt since this is important for them to increase their profit. But if someone think about the extinction of this offline business then I guess even if there are online casino the offline one will still stay because there are  lots of people would come to those places since there are people still find more thrill to gamble in offline casino also they can build connections which is helpful to them on that place.

Young generation now in the right time when the internet develop better than the few years ago. They can use and accessing many information from the internet to gets what they wants. They are very familiar with their gadgets, better than the old generation so they can gets many things from the internet. They can knows something from the internet better than the other people, including about online casino.

But if we talks about the offline casino, they can use internet to develop their business to reach more customer. They can evolve with something new and with the young generation familiar with the internet, that will helps the offline casino becomes one of the reputable casino. The offline casino that change their business to online casino will becomes bigger because they have many customers from other countries and that can impact to their incomes.

I also used to think that starting an online casino is expensive, until someone posted here online casino licenses cost and opening expenses. I can imagine how to find this post today, but it cost <$5k to get a license, and $1-3k for company registration. Add to this cost of equipment (server, programs), cost of employee (support) and start signing contracts with providers. I think $15k is a starting budget of an online casino. For the offline casino, that would be the starting cost of a bar only. Imho offline casino can not operate without a bar. And each slot, table cost additional license. Dozens of employees. However, offline casino earn not only from gambling. Like I’ve said, the bar is also a significant part of casinos profit. Not everyone who goes to casino gamble. Some go there to have fun, watch, drink... That is the difference and benefit of land base casino - it is more flexible and offers more.

The development of the era is what drives someone to train and learn to increase their broad insight, especially with the very sophisticated and modern digital era today, we often see that young people are better at accessing information on the internet, even they only need to see or search on an application site so that they are very good at playing the gadgets they have.
Yes, it is true that in terms of aspects like this, special attention is needed from parents to always supervise children's activities while playing gadgets, although slowly and firmly this greatly helps the child's growth to be better, namely not using gadgets in terms of negative things.

If starting an online casino is expensive, then we cannot imagine how much it would be to start a moderate-sized brick-and-mortar casino.
It is not only the fact one is at the mercy of government and the regulators which will take a slice of one's profit, it is also the fact one's population of customers is limited to the local area. The most populated the zone, the better. However, the cost of square meter in cities is extremely high. Perhaps that is why we see some many small casinos trying to blossom in this ecosystem dominanted by a few giants and reliable online casinos. For the average person, with a moderate budget, it is impossible to even begin to offer those services and perks which are characteristic of brick and mortar casinos and the ones which end up attracting people, getting out their way to gamble on a physical slot machine.

Nowadays, operating a land-based casino is not so easy, because not only do they need to set a strategy to get people to come to them, but they also need to deal with government regulations that tighten their operations. It is true that many people still prefer to play offline, perhaps because the vibe is different, but the development of online casinos is quite high and this forces land-based casinos to not only provide gambling services, but also other entertainment venues such as clubs, hotels, etc. , to be able to increase their appeal and accommodate their visitors. And that's why having a land-based casino can take a lot of money to develop and operate it because many people are involved there.

There has been online gambling with significant volume for a long time now, more than two decades, and it has not broken the physical casinos. If anything, it has made them more popular. In general, young people gamble more from their cell phones, but this has increased the gambling user base, and just as they gamble from their cell phones, at some point they go to a land-based casino.


This is for the social aspect. Land-based casinos outperform online casinos in the social experience, no matter how much online chat there is.

Indeed, there are positives and negatives with the development of this increasingly sophisticated era. However, perhaps the negative influence can still be minimized by not being careless in taking an action or deciding on a step forward, if we can decide on a step forward then everything will be fine, because in the beginning they became addicted or experienced other bad things. That's by starting to be curious and becoming an addiction that can't be stopped, and if they don't have the wrong perception, maybe they won't become addicted, just fulfill their curiosity, unfortunately they are swayed and lulled into gambling to the point where they become addicted to gambling. On the positive side, society can do many things practically, and I think those who have good thoughts will take advantage of this development.

Yes, that's true, even without parental guidance, many children are now so good at using gadgets that they can access anything they want, but unfortunately this can get them into trouble because they can access even bad things without their parents' knowledge. Apart from that, education usually also involves gadgets as one of the methods of their learning process. Even though young people are strictly supervised, I think there is still a chance for them to do something negative, so it is difficult to minimize this if it is not done by themselves.

That's true, but indeed if we think long and look at business where more generations play gambling online it is a sign that physical casinos will be disrupted and it is likely that only a few people will gamble in physical casinos so that business goes in the acceleration of technology, because if only aiming to seek pleasure and get benefits that can certainly be obtained from online gambling which is more flexible, of course these people will really choose online gambling rather than physical gambling, if talking to the orientation of these two factors, because in fact also those who play in physical casinos are mostly young people who have old age today.
