   - As far as I know, there are a lot of things like that in land-based casinos, this can be a disadvantage of a physical casino. Because maybe you just went to the live casino to entertain yourself, but sometimes when a gambler experiences a win often in an offline casino they don't realize that someone is already following them who are also gamblers inside the casino where the frequent winning here becomes the wick or the cause of a gambler's destruction because of the attempt to seize or steal what he wins.

So somehow I can say that online casino is safer compared to offline or live casinos. This is just based on my opinion that I also know that there is truth in what I am saying. I just don't know if others think the same way as me.

I wouldn't say am much of a gambler the slightest bit, for so many reasons, but what stands as a peak reason for my concern is that of security.
All thanks to the advent of online casinos which gained massive popularity during the covid-19 era. Though the concern for security online as per being hacked or being a victim of phishing sites, looms. It is agreeably more fun visiting a live casino center with physically present spin machines.
Most of the places in my locale where these games are played seem to be a hub for miscreants looking for likely victims and observing the cash flow of individuals using these spin machines. It is not too long ago we learnt of the stabbing that happened in front of a las vegas casino and the recount of the perpetrator.

In a yuletide season as this, it is always advised to be cautious of locations one frequents, especially places where we have these spin machines; it is to save cash by preventing losing too much in the games and from unplanned mishap that might befall one when in the midst of such a surrounding.

Ever had such concerns for security when visiting live casino centers?  or do other reasons which prevent you from using these live casino centers? (please state it).

Before the modern casino appeared at Las Vegas that were family friendly by offering a little bit of everything to everyone, casinos were always a place in which you needed to be very careful as there was always a chance that you could be robbed or something even worse could happen to you.

So your worries are not without reason as there are many casinos that still follow the old formula and are magnets for all kind of criminals, so if you are worried about them then maybe it is a good idea that you only gamble online from now on.

No, but I go to the casino by car or cab. I'm not going to go to the casino walking down the street with a good amount of money, and I live in an area where there is not much crime, but you never know who might be lurking. Whenever someone has seen you handling large amounts of cash, precautions should be taken.

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.
Well, that was rather scary. Not really a fan of brick-and-mortar casinos, and rarely have I gone to them (and it also doesn't help that it's pretty rare in my area), so I can't exactly say that I've had any security concerns for casinos. In general, though I reckon any public place has those kinds of concerns, entertainment ones would be much more prone to such cases since extreme emotions often come up in them.

It's nothing new if you were looking at it from that point, casinos are places where people WITH money are after all. I reckon it's a place where most people who'd want to nab something to wander on. Security can help, but it's only to the point when they're inside. Outside? It's each to their own most of the time.

That's also the problem with our local casinos here. While they have a strict rule posted outside regarding those who just get inside and won't play, those who beg, even protocols on what not to wear, they're not really implemented. You will notice people wearing flipflops inside. You will notice people who are waiting for a chip or two from somebody who wins big or successively. There are a lot of bystanders inside. And it's not also very secure outside. A few meters from the casino and you could already be robbed of your money.

For this reason, it is better to play in a online casino, although a brick-and-mortar casino is still preferable if you are going out gambling with your friends.

Fortunately, or unfortunately.... in my country casinos are prohibited.
But I already had the pleasure of visiting some of these establishments when I traveled abroad and I agree with you .... there is no benefit to online games that outweigh the pleasure of playing on a physical machine or at a real table with other players, the pleasure and adrenaline are immensely greater.

My advice to anyone who frequents these places is to look for casinos that value security, especially in controlling people's entry.

If this is not possible, go with a friend or close person... the fun is usually much greater and the safety too, as a possible aggressor will hardly attack a person who is accompanied.

It is also interesting that the person does not create a game routine every day, or always on the same day of the week and at the same time in the same place. There is always someone looking at these patterns, someone who can follow you and attack you not just in front of the machine but on your way home.

In my country (Philippines), there was a time where a famous gambling resort was burned down by a person and some suffered casualties in the process.

More than anything, my concern is my personal safety. Though lots of guards and police are stationed on our gambling resort, still, you cannot prevent an incident from happening especially if we are talking about some operations done by conspirators. Another concern is my spending habits. Given that these physical casinos offer lots of freebies if you win, they will try their best to compel you to stay in the area to gamble more.

Before, I used to have a problem with my discipline of spending especially in the casino. I am slowly but surely trying my best to focus on other ventures to keep my mind busy and prevent gambling. Though this may be the case, I guess I will be sticking to online gambling for now.

Carrying a lot of cash is always too risky and it's even riskier if you got that money from a casino where many people may've seen you cashing it out.
I don't know about other country but at least here, the few casinos we have are located in very safe areas surrounded by police stations and you can see police cars patrolling all the time. No criminal would dare to go there.
But it's always smart to spend the night at the casino's hotel, if they have one, and leave at the morning or have someone you trust waiting for you at the front door ready to pick you up.

if you do really are carrying large sum of money, then security is always at risk. because no matter how safe and secure the place is, there will always be an individual who would want to commit a crime just for the sake of money. this is eliminated when you are playing in online casinos. if you don't divulge your gambling activities to the social media or your winnings, you won't be the target of these fraudsters.

This is a problem only in third world gambling dens.

Most casinos have bouncers and cameras. When you win a lot of money you can call a cab or request one to be called for you by the casino. They'll get a legit cab not some uber wannabe and will know who they contacted so there's no way a driver would attack you or take you to his gangster buddies.

Basically the only weak point is that the cab driver will know where you live, but if you're worried about having a lot of cash on you, you can request the casino to hold the money for you until you can come back during the day and go straight to the bank. There's so many things that you can do to be safe.
There are more ways available to secure the winning amount. Same time we should also think of the opposite side. Same as we having multiple ways there'll be multiple ways to steal our money amidst the cameras and bouncers. In that perspective online gambling platforms provide with the best of security.

Thinking of personal attachment and risks, there's really more risk in the land based casinos than staying at home and gambling. Let's go at the most optimistic situation that you may get and that's all about winning a lot and having a jackpot.

In online, you can keep that to yourself while in the land based, you'll get to see people looking at you when you're so happy and it's vulgar that you've won a jackpot. Who knows what are the feelings of those people that surrounds you? There could be the happy ones for you but, there could be the opposite motives that are already planning something just to approach you.

Casinos housea are not well patronized due to the fear of making some unscrupulous loses or the stress of taking a move from our comfort zone which could be our house or office to a casino house to make some bets. It is more easier and many persons find it very okay when we do it online without anyone knowing if we eventually gambler because of the bad omen it might cause when our friends or family discover this.

There are some religions that do not see a life I'm gambling, which much discrimination if they find out that there friends or family do engage in gambling, especially going to a casino or game house. It will be less obvious when we do our thing without our family knowing or colleagues.

I only have one physical casino that I go with the exception of a friend invitation. The first thing that I look for is security and I cannot remember an instance where there's no security in one of them. There will always be one doing body checks, inspecting bags, and IDs of those who he thinks are still minors.
I don't go there anymore, it's not about security on stabbing, pickpockets, or any theft but my main reason was to avoid getting the Covid19 sickness.
I'd rather stick at home and do online gambling plus it saves me transportation money.
Before covid or pandemic did happen then we arent really that mindful when it comes to health issues or anything related to that on which there are things where people do see it to be none so concerning.
I do believe that these places are really that strict when it comes to security where checks turns out to be that casual or normal.Basing up or reading up on the article which its really that questionable
on how those sharp objects did really get inside. This is my first time on hearing out news about people been stabbing out other people inside the casino.Its understandable about
frustrations and anger could be felt but its wrong that you would release all those stress and anger into other people.It is really just right that you would be in prison.

The security of casino is not only online but also offline. To some extent I prefer online casinos sites more than online casinos halls. Physical things (photos, laptops, cash hearpod etc) lost in offline casino halls more than online casinos sites. Just that the amount that got frozen and some scam sites taken from gamblers is big than the offline casinos.

In some times, police would just worked in and arrest innocent people in the offline casino hall probably because of a suspect. Online casinos can be played at the comfort of your home/room.

What I like in online is that it is saving you a lot of time from travel and you're just in your home being comfortable to gamble.

I think I'm already good with that and won't be urged to visit local casinos in my own decision. But if time permits and I have to go there, I'll be going but I know my limitations and it won't be broken.

Because in casinos locally, you'll be urged more especially when you're in a crowd and people cheering you up that you should spin some more, bet for more and you'll obliged with the urge of your peers.

Ever had such concerns for security when visiting live casino centers?  or do other reasons which prevent you from using these live casino centers? (please state it).

Vices. In some land based casinos, smoking is allowed in the establishment which makes me avoid it. I'm not okay with the smell of their cigarettes and not to mention, second hand smoking is more dangerous. Another thing is life concerns as OP and other users have mentioned; just what if you've won a jackpot? Would you be safe once you got out of the casino? These are 'indirect' security issues but possibilities for sure would worry a player who's not used of playing on such establishments. This is also why I prefer playing online. Scam casinos could be avoided if you will be quite doing a research about the platform you are engaging yourself with. You may check for their reputation in the industry, ask for feedbacks from its players, and compare its offers to check if it is not unrealistic or if something is worrisome.

On this aspect virtual casinos are much safer, because you don't expose yourself on the streets and public areas in order to gamble. You can play by the confort and safety of your home. If you hit the jackpot, you don't have to worry about being followed on your way back home by thieves, as you will be already at home!

On the other hand, when you go to land based casinos, you never know who can be behind you. This is the main security concern when playing at physical places. And when gambling is forbidden in your country you also have to worry about the police, besides the thieves, who can be in collusion with the casino itself.

But in the article, he was able to get away in the beginning because he claim to be a chef. So that is a total lax in security of that casino on how the man was able to bring a knife inside.

So again, that's what the OP is asking us, if we feel safe going inside a casino because this incident can happen, but this is random.
There is nothing mentioned the he successfully brought the weapon inside or get away with the knife inside the casino. The suspect didn't even get a chance to go inside the casino.
He reportedly told a security guard he was attempting to sell his knives so he could get money to return to Guatemala, to which the security guard at the casino allegedly responded: go jump in front of a train,

For casino's security related response check my reply above.
