Topic: Land Based Casinos in the Digital Age - page 4. (Read 1119 times)

The world is revolving and so are businesses including casinos, and this is evident in the way they are offering their services these days. It now depends on the angle you look at it, and what you are calling the brick-and-mortar casinos also have their presence online. This may not be all, but most of them, if not all, and some are dealing with both the brick-and-mortar and online (where people do not have to come to the casino in person if they want), even as those casinos operating the brick-and-mortar have already gone digital with their services (even if you would have to be there).

Above all, it depends on the business model of the casinos, and I can assure you that what some brick-and-mortar casinos are earning a year, some of those online casinos may not earn it in 10 years. This depends on the location, the standards and the extras like restaurants, lounges, accommodation etc they offer. Some brick-and-mortar casinos are home away from home with all the advancements and facilities you can think of, and they are making billions of dollars yearly.

So, it's not necessary that brick-and-mortar casinos go extinct for online casinos even as they (brick-and-mortar) make more money than them. They are only restructuring and upgrading their service delivery.

I'm a romantic, so in the old days I really loved visiting offline casinos! 
For me, such casinos are a symbol of luxury and wealth.  In ancient times, such casinos had a very strict dress code (tuxedo or formal suit for men and evening dress for girls). 
The atmosphere of those old casinos can be felt in the James Bond film "Casino Royale". 
Since then, everything has become much more democratic, however, the old atmosphere of luxury and excitement has largely been preserved.  Some people go to the theater and conservatory, and some to the casino. 
This is not cheap entertainment, but it is a certain life style, an excellent way to change one psychological state to another (more upbeat and festive).

For the next few decades, I'm sure land based casino will still available to find but I'm not sure about 50-100 years later. Who knows that everything in this world will be all digitalized? Maybe the existence of land based casino will be less than before but to be completely disappeared, I think the chance is still low at least for now and the next few decades. What we can do is just predicting because we will never know the future and we will not experience ourselves if we talk about the next 50-100 years. 

I do think that online gambling will become even bigger and the future and take more market share away from the traditional casinos. The easy access from your home is just so much more comfortable that more and more people will start switching to online gambling as their main form of gambling in the future. However, even with a more dominate role of the online gambling industry I don't see any threats of physical casinos going to disappear. This mainly due to the fact that the two don't offer the exact same of services. When it comes to online gambling it's all about playing the casino games, there is no real interaction with other gamblers and we are not taking advantage of other services the casino could offer. During a visit to a physical casino we can drink cheap alcohol, stay in cheap hotels and take advantage of all the amenities that the big casinos like to offer to attract their customers. Going to Las Vegas is a full vacation with awesome shows, good food, nice scenery and also just hanging out in the pool. Gambling is a big part of that vacation, but it's not going to be our only focus. The whole concept of entertainment and having a good time can be offered differently in a physical casino that it can be done in online casinos.  

Exactly but what's crazy is that the more money you've got then the more likely you're to stay away in online casinos because there's just not that much they can offer you if you're a high roller, it's more practical to go for physical casinos because you can probably get a hotel stay there and see other entertainment besides the games that they offer, there's more benefits to gambling in a casino when you've got more money so I don't think we'll ever see a decline of these land based casinos, maybe if there's a lot of articles lef and right that would support your claim that they're in decline and we can physically see it, that's probably the time that I would change my mind.

Land-based casinos will always have a special atmosphere that you will never find online. This is a special place for entertainment lovers. After all, people mostly come to casinos not to win money, but to lose it. It's paradoxical, but it's a fact. People like to interact with other people within a special atmosphere, which they associate with luxury and prestige. Often casinos are combined with a restaurant, because both the casino and the restaurant are two establishments that are close to each other in spirit. When a person comes to a restaurant, he expects to see quality food, and after eating he is drawn to experience something unusual.

I disagree though, haven't you step in a land base casinos lately?

There are still a lot of players going into it and land base are going strong. No doubt that online games are now on the rise, but the experience that traditional base can give to gamblers are in pale comparison when you play online.

The atmosphere in a land base casinos, but the socializing and then seeing gamblers around is a different thing.

As far as I am concerned gambling is not the same for everyone many people prefer to play online casinos and many people bet in land based casinos. But in the digital age, online casinos are gaining more popularity. Everyone is able to sit and bet at their own pace and bet with their friends. Nowadays people prefer to bet from home rather than going to the casino. Land-based casinos may gradually decline in value.

Everyone has different preferences in gambling. There are those who really like online-based gambling, there are also those who like offline-based gambling. and there are even those who often gamble online, they really want to visit land-based casinos to play offline, even just once. Including me personally, who until now has never visited a land-based casino, and not because I don't want to visit one, it's just because there are no land-based casinos where I live. I really want to visit it, because I think the essence and sensation provided by land-based casinos is very different from online casinos. So I think, even though currently online casinos are quite popular and many people visit them, this will never limit someone from visiting land-based casinos and playing in them.

In this regard my opinion will be that the land based physical casino will be decreased in near future because most of the gambler are now moving to the online based casino casino because the easy accessibility and also they can also do small or minimum betting on the others hand the physical casino is likely to be more costly in all cases. But we can't comparison between them because each have different type of enjoyment.

The point you mentioned is true because the land-based casino seems to have reduced the number of gamblers who go there; only the majority who go to the physical casino are mostly rich people. Most people today have become more comfortable and confident about gambling through online casinos because they are hassle-free.

Today's land-based casino still exists, but maybe not as many people go to places like this, in my opinion. But there are still some who enjoy the land-based casino more because they appreciate the gambling they see more.

Rare? I dont think so. They would really be that still on existence no matter what and just like been said that there are really those people whom really that still prefer on going into these physical places. Also, into those old time rich gamblers for sure they would really be sticking into those traditional gambling method despite of the current existence of online ones. It would really be just that depending into their preference.
This is why on the time that they would really be playing then they would really be sticking on where they have been getting used to. Technological advancement is something which is inevitable but people do have
their own choice and this is something that no one would bother you.

Its your money or fund to be used and its up to you on which one you would really be tending to get involved into. This is why it would really be best that
you should stick on where your interest really that sticking into and where you do find yourself that getting entertained.

Acknowledging your valid points about the advantages of online casinos, I'd argue that the essence of land-based casinos—the atmosphere, the physicality, and the experience—is unparalleled. They're not just static venues; they're increasingly becoming dynamic entertainment complexes.Beyond the thrill of gambling, they offer a multisensory experience: the unique sound of live games, the excitement of real-time reactions from both dealers and players, and the luxury ambiance. These elements create memorable experiences that extend beyond gambling, into entertainment and social interaction that online platforms cannot fully replicate, fostering a sense of community and occasion that many value deeply.

Also, it's crucial to discuss adaptability and innovation. Offline casinos have a unique opportunity to blend traditional charm with digital enhancements, creating hybrid experiences. By incorporating technology like VR to simulate high-stakes games in immersive environments or apps for easier access to table reservations and loyalty rewards, Additionally, adopting more sustainable practices could attract environmentally conscious patrons.

Hosting exclusive events, celebrity poker tournaments, and incorporating cutting-edge entertainment options could also draw crowds looking for unique experiences beyond just gambling. It’s about evolving with the times, offering something online platforms can't, a blend of tradition and innovation that makes each visit memorable.
Land-based casinos have the potential to become more than gambling dens, they can be cultural and entertainment landmarks that offer a mix of nostalgia and future tech.

Yes they will, but they will become rare. The problem is in the numbers. How many casinos were there in the 90s, how many of them were closed in the last 30 years.
IMO this situation will progress, eventually leading to land casinos being reduced to popular resorts, towns famous for gambling like Las Vegas, cruise ships and such.
Online gambling will continue to take customers from these so called "physical casinos" which is a term that did not exist a few years back. At some point we'll gamble in virtual reality and nobody will want to go to a real joint.

Yes, online casinos are real competitors to offline casinos no doubt, but you should wonder why the seeming offline casinos still have their clients trooping to their location. although at a reduced rate I must mention. People have preferences in all activities of life, and also not everyone in less developed countries have smartphones to gamble online, so they still fall back to their traditional comfortable way of gambling offline.

Online casinos need a lot of adverts for it to be known cos no one knows its location if the link is not actively distributed, and traffic dragged to the site from many marketing mediums. Same does not go for offline casinos, as only a big signpost will do the marketing for them and drag their clients their way. Every form of gambling has its own unique advantage over another, although online casinos may have more clients due to its flexibility, but the offline casinos still give a sense of inclusion to the clients it satisfies and as such remains indispensable.

We have to admit that online gambling is increasingly developing with service and accessibility, but physical casinos are still not outdated even though they are still in development to evolve digitally, there are two things that never existed in online casinos, namely physical casinos feel more sensation when gambling compared to online and physical gambling opportunities. depends on pure luck, because some opinions state the loss ratio is higher than online gambling.

Land-based gambling will definitely evolve to implement some digital features, but the concept of land-based gambling is preferred by many gamblers because it avoids the risk of casino scams.

Maybe what will happen to physical casinos is the same that happened to television or books, people can reaches out to these two using the Internet which makes it easier for them to use and provides more options and variety of things but people still own televisions people still sell and buy them and companies still develop them, same thing for books you can read books from your phone directly but some people especially the enthusiastic ones, they prefer owning the book and reading it when it is between their hands because it is more fun to do so and it makes the experience of reading better and more realistic.

It is true that online casinos are the trendiest lately and the ones that receive more users and more players because we are in the Era of Internet and they make it easier for gamblers to play any game they want at any time and any place they wish while having multiple options and choices. But there will always be people who prefer on site casinos because it offers a better and unique experience and more benefits which might ensure their continued existence alongside online casinos.

Maybe the number of people who will keep going to physical casinos will decrease but there will always be the minority of people who will keep making them alive. And who knows what will happen in the future, industries continue to evolve and to adapt to human being's preferences and technologies.

Digital age makes everything so convenient. You don't have to get dressed or leave the house anymore and people love it. You shop online, work online, watch movies online and gamble online.

Unfortunately for land-based casinos it's eventually going to be the end of them because people are getting lazy thanks to the Internet. Have you noticed that people subscribe to catering services now and they have all their daily meals delivered to the door. They don't even want to go out to a restaurant unless it's with friends or a date. This is happening to gambling and will eventually lead to these big casinos building their online brands and decreasing brick and mortar operations.

Yeah and it means that as long as they can provide for some entertainment, there won't be any problems at all. People do not go to casinos just to gamble, they go there to have some fun, you see a show, you drink some booze, you smoke some cigars, you meet some people, you stay at a good hotel (usually casinos have their own hotel) and plenty more other stuff.

This is why it is quite important to realize that we are going to end up with something that won't be as easy, it is going to take some time, we should consider that as a big problem. I believe that we are going to end up with a much better return, we need to consider that as money lost but a lot of fun had, so it was worth it and that's why physical ones will always stay.

Until now, physical casinos are still popular with fans. You can differentiate, there are differences in what is provided by physical and digital casinos. As far as I know, physical casinos are still popular and still exist today. for example, for Asia Macau. in Macau, gambling remains a major destination for tourists and those who enjoy it. So far, they are still operating as usual except during the pandemic. What you need to know is, there are differences between physical casinos and digital casinos. physical casinos, offer something different to digital or online casinos. whether it's from comfort, the facilities provided by the casino, or all the other features that make people or gamblers still like physical casinos.

On the other hand, online casinos offer convenience and features that are available to make things easier for users without having to visit a physical casino. But sometimes, gamblers do both. I mean if someone wants to visit a physical casino, then they will do it whatever the reason. on the other hand, a person without having to visit a physical casino if they just want to play online. So far, I don't see or hear that physical casinos will become a thing of the past. after all, not all gamblers like online casinos. vice versa. So far, physical casinos will continue to exist even though they are also making innovations to attract visitors to remain interested in playing at traditional or physical casinos. although now, digital casinos are increasingly popular with many gamblers. However, both have their own fans and it's not uncommon for me to be able to play at physical or digital casinos.
