I think it all depends on personal experiences, "knowledge" of a certain event and what are your ideas of "fun".
Personally I find betting or playing in real life very funny, but by now, the opportunities to do so have practically disappeared, since in my country gambling is heavily controlled/taxed.
vice versa, I always find online gambling a valid alternative to have fun, regardless of the real or less possibility of winning substantial sums of money  Cool

And so much more but its seem the world has evolved so greatly and many things we do before, have now been inputed in the internet and its now makes it access alot easier but I had some recent arguments with some folks in my locality that before, gambling physically with people was more fun than doing online in these recent casino that seem to cover all of our old gambling habits but I argued on the latter. So I thought I should drop here and here some of opinion of most advance gamblers with lots of gambling experience.
I would give my opinion based on two sides
- Evolution/ Adaptation to cultural change.
- Personality traits.
a) Evolution/Adaptation to cultural change:
In the past before the internet existed, people gambled with other people..They gambled in the streets, at the pub and in all sorts of places and on all sorts of things. It was normal. It was what every other persons were doing. However, as the slots machines were invented, they started changing their gambling patterns and preferences. They didn't need other humans. The machine was enough for them. Some started to prefer poker to slots and vice versa. In short, their gambling patterns evolved due to technological advancement and cultural changes. Conversatives would be stuck in their old ways

b) Personality traits: Introverts, people who do not enjoy going out, or interacting with other people. People with these personality traits will prefer to gamble over the internet than physical gambling. It is convenient for them and they avoid meeting other people. Sadly, these introverts are at higher risk of gambling addiction.

Physical gambling is more fun because it appeals to all 5 senses at once. However, online gambling is a safer activity in every way. Also, online gambling is fun enough. Actually, to sum it up, I think security is a more important detail in this regard. So, any activity that I feel is safe enough can be considered fun for me. That's why I choose online gambling as a priority. But if the conditions are ripe, I may prefer physical gambling.

When I was growing up, I had a lot of experience gambling on games like:
---arm wrestling
---card game
----PlayStation competition
----dice
----animal racing
----food eating gamble
----playing soccer
And so much more but its seem the world has evolved so greatly and many things we do before, have now been inputed in the internet and its now makes it access alot easier but I had some recent arguments with some folks in my locality that before, gambling physically with people was more fun than doing online in these recent casino that seem to cover all of our old gambling habits but I argued on the latter.

I really love to play with face to face people I want to talk to them have friends while playing , the amount of emotion you are about to show with people it is the unique things I find in physical gambling but as time passes by when pandemic hits my social communication is not the same so I prefer now to play online because being with a lot of people maybe strangers will not give me comfortability while playing so it depends on the situation.

Physical gambling does not include independent emotions but also positive restraint as it is played in groups or collectively.  Online gambling is the maximum expression of emotions in the enjoyment that you do not have to suppress.  Sometimes it feels real and satisfying.  I'm a fan of SiC bo online, I have a group that plays and chats.  It also creates fun and provides better concentration.  Personally, I prefer online gambling because it is proactive and seamless because it can be played at any time and keeps a certain amount of privacy.

My first experience with gambling was in person but it hasn't really influenced my personal preference for playing online. I think it just depends on your personality. I'm a rather introverted type of guy, I'd 100% choose to spend the day in my house doing whatever the hell I want if possible compared to going out on trips and whatnot. Not to say that I wouldn't go out, just that I prefer staying inside, it's not really related to my gambling habits or anything, I reckon I'd do the same stuff whether it was online or not really.

We are the same since I'm an introvert and I often get intimidated on trying out things especially that gambling is something that most would think is a bad influence since most get addicted to it. I would definitely prefer online gambling given it has all the features and security that you can access while staying at home. However, we could never see online gambling to be more preferred by majority since physical offers you to be in the moment and to actually see it in person.

Not to say that I wouldn't go out, just that I prefer staying inside, it's not really related to my gambling habits or anything, I reckon I'd do the same stuff whether it was online or not really.

I prefer online gambling because it promotes privacy. When you enter a physical casino, everyone know you are a gambler which is not too good in my area. My society see gambling as immoral. They feel gamblers are not responsible and have no plans for the future. I don't blame them because most gamblers in my area are unemployed and see gambling as their profession. Online gambling is also easily accessible because it is within your reach. Your mobile phone is your gambling house. Due to insecurity I prefer to gamble online. One can become a target of criminals if they discover that he won big. With online gambling, only me know when I won or lost.

Online is indeed a preferred one no doubt because you take your time to meet up your game and you don't have to start waiting to be attended to, that in my area. Sometimes people think that is only unemployed folks that engage themselves on gambling both online and physical as the case maybe. I don't see it as a bad thing to say but when it becomes an addiction that's when respect is being taken off the person involved, they don't use their money to do any other thing outside from betting which isn't cool. But really you don't have to blame them.
And in the case of either you win or lose is a thing you have to deal with alone (especially when you can't control your anger) that's if you bet online (that's private) but when it's physical OMG, you see how brutal and violence they'll become that's if they lost a bet mehn..is really crazy in my domain.

Internet gambling or online gambling is more secure and avoiding drama due to friend, it's better for solo player who doesn't have any friend or don't want to let his friend know if he's a gambler.

How is that then fun then, the drama and other activities are what brings out the fun in gambling, we have a majority of the world's population that are social than antisocial and that's why we have lots of social activities. There's no reasons anyone can give me that'll make online gambling more fun than physical gambling.  Technology made things more easier not fun.

If I want to enjoy a fun like gambling experience, I'll go visit the physical casino as I get to interact with people and possibly share ideas that would be beneficial to me either with the games I'm betting on or other areas of life. And when I want to make money solo, I switch on my computer and bet online.

Both are fun, but it just depends on the situation.

If there's an event where I and my friend really want to watch the match, I will gamble with my friend and watch the match together. Usually it's about sports since it's more interesting to bet with friends rather than bet on the bookies and then watch the match alone.

While online gambling I mostly play in slots game so I don't need friend during gambling, because either I have a friend or not, the outcome will not changed lol.

Well in the beginning I love to go out on weekends and play on traditional based casinos, but when the pandemic start obviously we are all at home and trying to find out on how we can continue to play and so there is a advent of casinos popping up to satisfy us gamblers.

And now I still go out and play but most of the time, if that inch started, then I just go and play on my mobile phone at home.
Then still continue to bet on sports as I usually like. So for me, it's 50/50.

I am not really an advanced gambler, although I have long been gambling. But always moderately, of course.

I know that many here wouldn't agree with me, but I am with those folks in your locality who think that physical gambling is more fun. Until now, I am more into physical gambling than online gambling. As a matter of fact, I just won the other day when my neighbor's mobile game team clashed against another team from a nearby village. Although I feel some guilt about it, I would also bet on live cockfighting. During NBA playoffs also, I mostly bet outside, especially if the odds are better than the ones offered by crypto bookies.

This lists have some physical games and if I'm not mistaken, you're the ones to play these games and you yourself has to place a bet on your yourself as well. That's actually fun, when you're young, energetic, and have enough time to participate into games like playing basketball from your favourite spot.
But as when time passes and you're getting old, busy, and has a lot of responsibilities, you will never have that same enthusiasm when you were young. So, we tend to just watch sports and place your bets to your favourite teams rather than playing the game yourself.
With the rise of the internet, businessmen also innovates in taking the gambling experience into a whole new different level, of course using the internet.

this is a kind of PVP game it doesn't look like the physical one meant, but maybe OP doesn't understand about real physical gambling, BTW I also often bet on the game list written by OP, but to be honest that's the past and time keeps moving forward as well as technology that is getting more advanced making complicated things easier, for example playing gambling, I am more comfortable playing gambling using the internet through my cellphone browser than playing physical gambling  Wink

I know how it feels to remember the past and how's the feeling there and the fun, joy, and enjoyment that it has brought us. Yeah, too many things have changed due to the evolution of technology that includes the usage of the internet. Change is constant and we can't stop or slow it down. I may not have that much gambling experience but I've also seen those changes as a teen that have become a gambler and saw the traditional games up to the common and modern ones. Let's just enjoy the current one and reminisce the old experiences but that doesn't mean we can't do it anymore.

but anyone can still gamble physically, to have fun with your friends and colleagues. offline casinos are still existent today and i don't think they will be shutting down anytime soon. they are still earning a large percentage of income as compared to online casinos. but we can say, there is indeed growing number of online casinos, fiat-based and crypto casinos and bookies. we are already in the digital age and the pandemic period made a very good path, where online casinos are being appreciated in this business.
Yeah, I didn't say that we can no longer gamble physically. In fact, at the end of my post, I've said that the bold part. Even with the proliferation of online casinos whether they're crypto-supported or not, the industry is too big to ignore and get rid of the physical gambling houses/casinos.
We've been used to that type of gambling and still, there have been gamblers that choose to go there even if it's gonna require them an effort to walk through the establishment unlike by just choosing to gamble at home. The ambiance and setup for both of them are different and that's what's making a gambler choose whatever we like and prefer.

I've gambled with several games mentioned by @OP. Indeed, it's fun to play with friends. Even though we lost some money while playing, we still had fun and don't think we have already lost.

But after several years, many online casinos have been operating. This has made many people start trying to gain experience playing online gambling. That also makes many people addicted to gambling to spend all their money quickly.

But it seems that offline gambling games will still survive in this modern era because some people often come to offline casinos to play gambling with their friends.

In terms of fun, I usually prefer physical gambling where me and my friends go to biggest casino in my country considered as 5 star hotel. The reason why we're doing it because of the experience like we can have unlimited beers, coffee, juices, fresh milk and many more. It is not just about also the free drinks and foods that we get but also for us to build our network. There are a lot of big people their in casino and for us it is a good way to build network where we will go in to some business lounge or cigar lounge. In terms of convenience, Of course I prefer internet gambling because I can bet and wager money anytime that I want. For example, I want to play roulette and slots; I can do it now and I don't need to go to the casino just to play it. I think it is all about preferences because we have different qualities, different likes and also characteristics. My advice is just choose what you want between going to casino or just playin online. At the end of the day what is important is you have control on your psychology for you to not make any mistake by betting.

The choice of which is more fun will completely depend from person to person. Like for me, Online gambling is more fun, safe and secure. In online gambling, you can gamble anonymously also.

In online gambling, if you prefer the comfortability of betting at home where you can sit and rest while gambling. It's true that its safe from the risk since you are at home where if you hit jackpot you are not prone to thief or stealing. Because from my experience, watching an street gambling with a lot of people and then the guy won a big amount of money, however the other guys who lost stole the bet and ran really fast where the winner can't do anything about it. Good thing there's no violence that happened but they stole a win.


But in physical gambling, you have to present at the casinos physically with all your money in cash. Moreover it’s not safe to visit casinos with lots of money in hand. Internet gambling also provides hassle free transactions for your winnings, but if you play and win at a physical casino, then taking your winnings in format of cash is also very hectic. Moreover casinos have also become instinct from many places.

This is my point in physical gambling, it would be fun if you have your friends or family while doing physical gambling where you can share your thoughts and ideas on how to win which I found fun. But if you're playing solo you'll only see the hassle on everything like winning a huge amount of assets, converting your chips to fiat money and also the transactions. But if you really like gambling this is not the case, some really like physical since they can feel the tension unlike online gambling. You can see the players poker faces and techniques which is also fun for them. But personally I rather play online gambling due to comfortability and hassle free.

Physical gambling is better if you can afford to enhance the experience in certain ways: bringing friends or family with you, have some appetizers and drinks, etc.
The sort of stuff that makes the gambling session a social activity.

On the other hand, the availability and ease of use of the most popular online casinos offer many advantages for those who seek a more personal and intimate session without having to leave their home.

If I had to choose I would go for the former option, though.
