Saying that local casinos can compete with the big sharks seems a bit difficult for the capitalization and advertising departments, both of which are inherently not in the same league. Besides, both of their products are also focused on niche markets and specific customers, big brands will only care about high level customers, they cannot handle and synchronize more small customer segment, that is the factor of quality can be reduced, so small customer segment is taken over by local casino, there is not much competition for market share but the concern will still be that competitors at the same level as the industry is becoming more numerous as the potential is seen.
Indeed, that still difficult to compete with the big casinos as they have more resources than the small or local casino. But local casino can grow their business in their city without competing with the big casino. They should know that it is better to competes other casino that have the same location with than to compete with the big casinos. If they can grow their casino in their city, that will benefits them because they will have a chance to have a source of income while they also have many loyal members who will always playing gambling on their casino. They know how to serves their members better than the other casino in that city so at least, they can have more chances to becomes popular in their city.

What do you think will happen in the future? Can these local/regional casinos compete with bigger brands, or will they be devoured or acquired by them?
Local casino who have physical exultancy where you go, chill with mates, spend time with hookers are goin to exists. It's not all about gambling but the total package of entertainment. In online casino you are just playing and becoming homesick. No idea about the outer word, no real touch, real feel. Local means you would not need top comply with international rules.
It depends in where is your casino located. 
It is.
Government policy. Avoiding Anti-Money Laundering problems and a bunch more to keep them away.
Local means you would not need top comply with international rules. It also means that the local government is letting you do the legal acts.
IMO, its going to more of a problem to those who are not honest with themselves. But in the case that I am also brought down to the police for what I did, I can still say that I have not done anything wrong but did good for my country for catching a criminal that they have been hunting for a long time.

I think all of them matters alot cause they offer services at different levels reaching out to people's pockets and demands but if you really want to account for both of them I think local casino are used often than global one's, cause of the free access to the internet and other aspects makes the person gamble at ease. So for comparison I believe the local casino can compete to meet up with bigger brands.
It seems like some replies misunderstood the question, my apologies if my post wasn't clear enough.
As seen in the OP, it's about ANN meaning online (only) casinos, so there won't be a local office where users can file complaints, etc.
Before, we really enjoyed global casinos because they weren’t too strict with KYC. But now, as crypto becomes more mainstream, regulators have tightened their grip. Just like the recent news about Stake.com requiring users to submit documents for level 2 KYC. Those who fail to comply before the deadline will lose access to play with the casino. It seems like global casinos won’t be much different from local ones in the future, except maybe for the innovative games they’ll continue to offer.

As seen in the OP, it's about ANN meaning online (only) casinos, so there won't be a local office where users can file complaints, etc. Therefore the service is similar (I think) only payment method, currencies, promotions, and language that mainly differ between these two types of casinos. But since currencies & payment methods are pretty much not a problem for crypto users, then only "culture" (level of support, language, habit, etc.) can be tailored to match the users' location.
Thanks for the variety of insights, by the way, I learned a lot!

I think it's now common to see ANN threads of local/regional (Asian, SEA, or maybe other regions) casinos. Since people can now access sites from different locations globally, do you think the segmentation based on region is still relevant? Do you feel more comfortable playing in a region where you reside or are familiar with?

I used region casino than global casino and in my opinion. Region casino don't do marketing outside it's region, most of the time when they do advertisement, it's always within their base, where adverts are made in TV televisions or banners and no outsider can access them and even if you do, you might not be able to play because you might not even have the currency they used to play, this is where I think global casino comes into play with the help of crypto deposit.
In my opinion, there are more competitors within regional casino like they do have in global ones because if you are operating locally, you will be taxed locally and everything including license will be done locally and when you market very locally, you will win big locally. You will be controlling that region while it last. Some of them even controls different region, each region has their own unique website and game codes are different but the website is the same and they all have their own users despite the competition.
I prefer casinos that are positioned as global casinos. I use cryptocurrencies for betting, so I have the opportunity to play in all the world's casinos. It is very convenient!
In my country, there are no regional online casinos - there are only offline casinos in 1 - 2 regions (special regional gambling zones are organized there). All these offline casinos are located in hard-to-reach places (for example, the Sochi casino is located in the mountains, in Krasnaya Polyana).
I am too lazy to visit these offline casinos, so I always play in global online casinos.

I think what really matters is the player’s experience with each casino and which one they are more comfortable playing with, I don’t think it really matters whether it’s a regional casino or global one. As a matter of fact I do make use of both, sometimes I may feel more comfortable playing with the local casino from my region and sometimes I’d rather wan a just play on a global casino.
But that's what local casinos are, regardless of online or offline, we are comfortable with them because of obvious reasons. And it's more evident though if you go landbase, I mean if you travel abroad you might be some qualms when you enter their casinos. But if you go and play local land base wherein you spoke the same dialect, there will be no ifs and buts, you will go directly play.
For casinos on the other hand, they will want to have as much customers as they have as this is just pure business. So in online they might have some restrictions as far as some countries goes, but in the end, you will be readily accepted once you deposited some money to play with them.

I don't use a casino because it from my region but rather I choose a casino to use based on their reputation and the satisfaction of service I will get from them. Perhaps even if a casino is from your region or not, if it's a shady casino, you will still be a victim for trusting them. It doesn't means that if a casino is from your region you will not also be a victim if they decided to scam their customers.
I like to playing gambling on online casino than local casino. That is because I don't want to have a problem or go to that local casino which is not near from my place. Rather than to spends some gas or pay a taxi, I better playing gambling on my room in online casino. That helps me to relax and I can also do other things if I want to break for a while from gambling. But maybe some people like to play gambling in local casino because they can directly send their money using their bank account to their gambling account. That can gives them comfortable when playing gambling. We have different reason why we choose local/regional casino and global casino.
Many things can change in the future especially for having cooperation from local/regional casinos with bigger brands. But each casinos will compete to be the popular casino and can attract more people to playing gambling on their casino.

If you're after legal security, stick with local casinos. They’re more likely to have a legal framework that’s solid, but keep in mind they might be limited when it comes to game variety and innovation since they’re local. Going global, on the other hand, opens up a whole new world of options and competition, but you’re giving up some of that legal protection. Suing a global platform? Possible, but tough, especially since they’re not operating in your area. Plus, let’s be realistic, most gamblers won’t go through with a legal battle; it’s expensive and a hassle.
[When I opened a local site the CSS or the User Interface is not good as the global casino in my opinion.
This is different in my country as local casinos also have good user interface.The only good thing about local casino is very easy to withdraw and deposit by using QRIS 
and the minimum bet is cheap as f then a global site
It is also very easy to withdraw using cryptocurrencies. All you need to do is to click on withdraw, paste your coin address, select the network and click on send. But this are crypto foreign casino. If it is fiat foreign casinos, the withdraw may not be easy. and the minimum bet is cheap as f then a global site

Local/Regional vs. Global Casinos: Do You Think It Matters? In my opinion, it is matter since we live at the same country you might notice the difference just by opening a local website and international site like stake or duelbit

And concerning whether or not the regional casinos are still gonna be around or if they’ll be sent into extinction in time to come, I don’t think so, because the regional casinos sometimes can be quite convenient and accessible for users to make use of, and there’ll always be people to use them, which means they’ll probably still be around for awhile longer than we think.

Competition forces companies that provide similar products to specialize. If you do not have a unique product, you will have a hard time retaining customers. As for local casinos, they have many advantages over global offices. They often have physical offices and they know the local specifics and psychology of people well. Yes, if you move to another region, you will no longer find this local casino there. On the other hand, you may not always need it. A physical office allows you to solve many problems related to KYC. You will initially be trusted more and the prospect of blocking your account will be very small.
I have experienced gambling with local and even global casinos, and I must say it’s more fun and exciting if you are playing with global casinos. Global casinos become more attractive with their wide range of game options, 24/7 accessibility, attractive bonuses and promotions, and most of all, higher jackpot opportunities.
Although I’ve come to realized that gambling is a game of chance of luck, but you know gambling with more attractive offers and more secured and convenient site, that makes it more entertaining and advantageous for us gamblers.

I believe familiarity with your region and knowing the regulations is essential when you are gambling. I think it's always the case when you are gambling with all possible rules, and maybe local casinos would have and give benefits or something. As long as they cater to more people, I think people would be safe because they want to go global, in my opinion.
It's more familiarity, I think, and popularity that could be the answer to the different views in online casinos.

There are few exceptions which could make some gambler to choose a global casino, instead of a local or regional one. For example, there are countries in which there is a lack of regulation or there are abusive terms imposed by the government, all of them scaring off gamblers who seek to wager their money safely and with less restrictions. My country used to be an example of it, actually, the socialist party was pretty much against the proliferation of casinos both physical and electronical ones within the country, so it can pretty rough for people to partake on it in a local or regional casino. It was way easier to go for global ones which never had a problem fostering people from overseas.
Also, I don't think the average gambler knows much about their local gambling regulation, at most, they take a look at the terms of service before submitting their KYC.
