Topic: Land Based Casinos in the Digital Age - page 13. (Read 3765 times)

Yea, of course both online and mortar bricks casino have the satisfaction that they give to gblers gambling in any of the casinos. Online is unique because it give absolute privacy to your gambling activities and prevent people around you from knowing that you are gambling if you don't want them to know. It is also very easy to access.

Mortar bricks casino have its own fun when you are there to gamble. The environment is very entertaining a d that is what most people enjoy when they are gambling in them. Social life is also another benefit. I love both of them and it is fun to gamble in these two casinos.

A hybrid mode of casino operation does sound tempting for the gamblers and is possibly the most future-proof method for any land based casino to continue their legacy in competing with the online casinos mushrooming everywhere on the internet.

Still land based casinos have their own elegance and indeed are tourist sites if visited. Again this touristy visits do not bring in good income for the casino itself and hence the regular users are the bread and butter.

To keep that group intact, a hybrid mode may be a step forward.

If traditional land based casinos don’t upgrade themselves, then the time will come when people will stop using them, and lots of people will divert to online casinos. But in my country, most of the local gambling companies also have an online version. If you prefer to gamble locally, then you can visit their local shops, and if you don’t like that, you can also visit their sites and gamble online. Most of them also have websites that you can easily download and gamble on. I think they know that with time people will stop visiting local casino houses, that’s why they decided to create an online version.

Going back into the past or lets say 15 years way back then we can really tell that online gambling isnt really that as rampant as of todays or as common it is, which simply shows up that technologies rapid growth
not only just that on gambling industry did make out such progress but also in other industries as well which it did really show that kind of increase when it comes to recognition and integration on which its not really that shocking that they will really be that becomes big but of course it would really be just that still depending or basing up with the demand because this is the primary thing on what makes and industry getting bigger considering on those changes but also rather on how people or the community would really be seeing this to be something relevant.

Even if i do love online gambling with cryptos but i cant really be able to deny that this is really that indeed true on which when it comes to best experience about gambling then going into physical
places is something that i do prefer or do like to experience. Ambiance is really that different plus having that socialization on which it would really be something that different
when you do play in front of your PC on which it is something that boring. The only issue on going into these places on which not all would really be that confident on going into
or the availability that it would have on a certain place which we know that not all location have those kind of physical casinos.

For me and anyone else that uses gambling as a form of entertainment I will always go to brick and mortar casinos.  Online has its niche but going to a casino for the bells amd whistles.  Usually they have great bars and restaurants.  There's always other things going on like live music and comedy shows.  The people watching is spectacular and there's just a different vibe to it.  I think both online and brick and mortar have theor places here.

I think each of then deserves a visit of its own.

The ambience, cuisine, and the architecture of each of the casino cities out in this world have their own taste and its not worth comparing one against another head to head.

I my country there is a "water-based" casino but I haven't been there yet. But I would definitely visit the Vegas one sometime in the future. These are once in a lifetime experience and something you dont forget for the rest of your life.

You mean, casinos in Amsterdam are much worse compared to Macao? You mean they are like Vegas 20 years ago? I'm sorry. I don't understand what you trying to say. By pictures I can say they are a bit old-looking. You think the same? Have you been there?



As far as I can tell, you've been to Macao, that's for sure. Can you tell me, do they have slot machines that impressed you? Do they have great animation and sound like modern online slots? What is better in them compared to online slots in your opinion?

Well compared to Macao there is not really a comparison. Vegas is like 20 years ago for me and I know a lot has changed.
Macao on the other hand was last year and I was really impressed.
Also it's a nice city, not only casinos and stuff like vegas. A lot of history, culture, traditional food, and more.

Coming back to casinos over there, there are so many degen gamblers from China, it's amazing. Also a lot of high rollers in the open throwing around cash, haha.
Seeing and experiencing this is so much more fun than sitting in front of a screen and pissing away money, haha. Even without money to gamble this is an experience, online, when you don't have money, there is no reason to even open the site of casino in my opinion.

Thanks for your advice! Next time I'm visiting Amsterdam I will definitely go to one of their casinos  to get a closer look at how they operate inside. I will erase everything about Las Vegas that was put there, in my memory, by movies, documentaries and books to not feel disappointed after visiting real-life casinos and comparing them to my false expectations. Thanks for that advice too. Overall, I think visiting land-based casinos from time to time wouldn't hurt anyone, but, of course, if you were diagnosed as a problem gambler, even just once in your life, you should stay away from those places.

First of all, try to erase in your memory what you have seen or knew about Las Vegas and try from the blank scratch. I havent visited casinos in Amsterdam, but I've heard from the guide that they are nice. If they were like a regular casino in your town - specious room with 4-10 tables and an area of slots, then the guide would not have even pointed about casinos of Amsterdam. I went to google and found some nice pictures. They are not like casinos in Vegas (that is why I suggested to erase Vegas experience), but definitely not like regular casino. At least it is not a one big room or place that 100 people would fit, but an area in Amsterdam.

The same goes for me, those are one of my wild dreams.
That's why I don't they will just be forgotten even if a lot of online gambling sites are available in this era. Physical gambling sites are tourist spots too not just because of their gambling place but also because of their hotels and cuisines.
The idea of being there sounds exciting and I think a lot of people especially the older ones want to go there if possible but since many things happened including the pandemic, the perspective changed. Still, it will be a place that will be visited and I don't think they will lose customers just because the new age of online gambling came. The environment is their ace and it will be the one best reason on why they could still pull customers.

       -    Yep, you're right. Right here in our country, where the casino is located, is surrounded by condo units, malls, and villages. Right here we can see their target market, which is middle-class people or rich people.

But even with their land-based casino strategy, I also think that the physical casino is still overcome by the online casino because their market is worldwide, where the rich and the poor can play gambling even at home, and even a small amount can be played.

I think that land-based casinos would hold their ground since it is within the scope of tourism.

Las Vegas is known as the gambling capital of the world. Not only does it attract users around the world, it also becomes part of tourism where people would visit such place in order to experience the gambling atmosphere that Las Vegas exclusively offers.

Though the popularity of online gambling has become prominent over the last years due to COVID, the socialization and experience that you get to feel when visiting land-based casinos cannot be imitated in an online setting.

Instead of thinking that online gambling would soon overturn land-based casinos, they can always exist mutually with each other. No one has to go as they can exist with side-by-side catering to different types of people who prefer gambling otherwise.

I'm with you there, brother, that's one of my dreams too.  Actually I'm afraid it would be a disappointing experience for me, but I would love to go to one of those places one day. To be honest, I didn't know there were casinos in Amsterdam. I've been there 5 times and it never occurred to me that I could visit one of the places similar to those in Macau, Monte Carlo and Vegas. I'm still not sure whether the casinos in Amsterdam are of that high level. What do you think?

I would love to visit Vegas and its casinos not for the sense of luxury or non luxury, but to get that unbelievable experience of being in such place. Any place in the world with casinos of such level would do (like Macau, Monte Carlo or Amsterdam casinos), but Vegas is one of my dreams. I would go there just for the shows, cuisine, entertainment, shopping, services, general atmosphere there.

It intimidate you to the fact that you will be challenge on your surroundings and you would try to impressed a lot of people watching especially if you are playing a long side with lots of people around and also with your friends. This attitude could able to contribute on possible bad faith that we get that's why sometimes I hate to gamble on land base casino especially if my capital is not huge since I will be urge to gamble more then grab some money to continue since there's a lot of temptation around the corner. That's somehow its good to have online casino since we can gamble with convenience and always can monitors all activities we do including the funds we use and no people around will tease us to continue.

I've never considered such a reason for going to land-based casinos, but now I think it can be a legit one. Indeed many people are afraid of their relatives to know about their gambling. I said "many", but of course I think it's a minority. Most gamblers are responsible gamblers using gambling for their entertainment and they have nothing to hide from their close ones.


Unfortunately, there are a lot of "casinos" in the world that will hardly give you sense of luxury. They look cheap from the outside and they look cheap inside. The only reason for most visitors of such places to go there is that they want to hit the jackpot there, but in reality in such places even if you hit it you will hardly get it. So, I'd recommend to avoid such places and if you want to go to a physical casino - go to a luxury one.

Some online gambling casinos has also have a land based casino just should Incase you choose to gamble offline you can decid to visit their land based casinos and make sure to gamble there if that's what is exactly preferable by you. I doubt if land based casinos will be extinct resulting from the gas rising presence of online casinos as not everyone has got good and adequate access or knowledge of the online gambling casinos so they will still have to visit the land based if they ever have a need to want to gamble.

Some persons are very much comfortable gambling offline in the land based casinos as they feel it's more advantageous as compared to the online casinos and so they still maintain their stans gambling offline such set of people will always make sure the land based casinos remain in business and not go extinct.

Not only that because offline gambling or traditional casino may intimidate if you were new. You will encounter big players, players who are veterans, those who you can't make eye contact with. So if you cannot deal with such people, yet you want to try to gamble and make as a past time then online casino may truly work best for you. Yet hose intimidation will just be at first glance. You'll soon realize that those people are good people to bond with especially if you have same interest outside gambling. That's the upside of traditional casino, you are more incline to interact with other bettors.

This is surely one advantage of online casino against offline games. For online, right there in your comfort zone in your house you are just there and playing your game at ease and your own comfort which is not same as offline. Offline game houses are mostly inconvenient and having much traffic of people who may not have taken their bath for a long day. This is what discouraged some people that I know when they want to bet , they would rather make the prediction and send someone to go make the stake for them. It is just few online gambling house that are convenient depending on the area that they are established.
