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. 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!
Global casino can hire translator to translate anything in their sites.

Promotions are nothing different for global and for local, if the local casino have A,B,C promotions while global casino have A,B,C,D,E,F,G promotions, it doesn't mean when you play in global casino, you can enjoy all the promotions.

The casino will adjust the promotion based on the player's IP address, so you might only see A,B,C promotions, the same promotion in local casino.

Payment method and the currencies are the difference that can't be denied.

Local casinos know how to find an approach to local players, but there is a downside. If they can't do this, then these players will start playing in the neighboring city, or stop playing altogether. And of course, there is always the option of playing online. I saw several casinos in my small town, but I never went to them because I prefer online casinos, for me it is much more convenient. I can sit on the couch and choose between the ones I want, I will probably never go to a physical casino, but only if they are the largest and most famous, and then out of curiosity.
As long as local casino know how to serves their members and always trying to make them satisfy, their members will not moves to the casino in the neighboring city. Satisfying is something that people search when they are playing gambling so they will still return to the same casino unless they are boring and want to get a new experience by playing in the other casinos. Yes, I also like online casinos because that will be more comfortable for me. I don't have to go to anywhere and only sit in front of my computer and start playing. I can playing gambling anytime I want when I am at home.

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 to comply with international rules. It also means that the local government is letting you do the legal acts. Global casinos have more problems than local casinos because they need to get the authority to apply for business in their countries.
In the future, it might become a problem for global casinos since these local casinos will be prioritized and there's a chance that one country will ban the international ones.

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.

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.

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  Grin 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.

 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.
