I think the main reason why Bitcoin quickly developed into a sort of a gambler's currency was that it offered a certain level of anonymity to the gambler. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there was a time when KYC was never a thing in Bitcoin gambling. So Bitcoin became a sort of an underground gambling currency. Gambling in Bitcoin means privacy.

Later on, however, although Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remain to be heavily used in gambling, with stricter regulations, KYC becomes a requirement for gambling platforms. Although it is not mandatory every time a user signs up, it could be required anytime. For me, if KYC becomes compulsory upon sign up, I might as well gamble with fiat.
The days of Bitcoin casinos not implementing KYC have passed or are still ongoing, but only for gamblers who don't use big money, so they are free to gamble in crypto casinos. But big money gamblers should be prepared to do KYC if the casino asks. And anonymity is indeed one of the things that makes Bitcoin casinos grow faster, especially in the recent Covid time.

But even though KYC will eventually become mandatory, we can still play gambling using our personal wallets because there are casinos that provide this facility. We probably won't be asked to do KYC by connecting our personal wallet with our gambling account. But the advice that still works is don't use big money in gambling so that the casino doesn't investigate your account.

That along with transaction conveniences were among the main reasons why people initially started using Bitcoin for gambling. Transactions times and fees used to be way lower than today back when crypto gambling was first introduced. There used to be only a few cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin being the top one since it was the first cryptocurrency to gain popularity in the world, so casinos initially only used to accept Bitcoin.

As the time passed, new cryptocurrencies started to emerge and platforms started upgrading their payment methods and started accepting new cryptocurrencies along with Bitcoin, and because some other cryptocurrencies had lower transactions times and fees, people started preferring those over Bitcoin.

I don't see how the 51% attack and Proof of Work and miner reward examples are relevant here, you are talking about Bitcoin casinos vs Traditional casinos but not about Bitcoin blockchain. Even if a transaction cannot be stolen once broadcasted, it doesn't mean that a cryptocurrency casino cannot scam you, and that is what we should be discussing. A transaction made with a bank card can also not be stolen once generated which you do in traditional online casinos, so I don't really see that as an advantage or a disadvantage.

What is actually an advantage that you could say is the deposit and withdrawal times, which can take days, especially withdrawals, if you are using a traditional online casino while it takes about minutes or sometimes hours for a cryptocurrency withdrawal to reach your wallet from the casino.
In fact, there are quite a few parameters for financial flows and transactions using cryptocurrencies in a casino that allows players to play with a deposit in cryptocurrencies.  I will list the main ones. 
These are: the requirements for the cryptocurrency itself, which coins can be used in this casino. 
These are the minimum and maximum deposit requirements. 
These are the requirements for the minimum and maximum bets in the game. 
This is the wagering requirement required to withdraw funds from the deposit, which is also indicated in the TOS. 
This is an additional commission set by the casino for the withdrawal of cryptocurrency from your deposit in addition to the net commission of the network of this cryptocurrency. 
Finally, this is the requirement to pass or not pass KYC when withdrawing money from the casino.  There may be other requirements as well. 
And all of them are important for the player. 
So in any case, you should carefully read the TOS before starting to play in a new crypto-casino.

I mean Bitcoin Casinos and traditional Casinos are both businesses, if you do business it does mean that there's no way you're putting your business's odds of winning lower than the players. We know that the Casino always wins. Generating a random number is always an issue especially on online websites because you could easily cheat on it, alter the codes making the winning odds lower than losing, or maybe put a limit on certain winning in that way theirs no way the business is going to lose money.

It could easily be the same in the traditional casino but it wasn't that easy unlike bitcoin casinos or online gambling casinos since you could play card games where you have a fair chance of winning or sports betting where the casino doesn't have control. But still, there are always going to be limits same as online casinos where the business is always going to win.

But I guess businesses love to invest in their clients they persuade gamblers to play again every time if they continue to win games.

I was wondering why the privacy and convenience aspect was not mentioned here by the OP although I did not bother to click the link as provided by OP as I have had  many issues of things of that nature years past.

Privacy is what I cherish so much that I do not bother or feel worried when ever I gamble. You know in this part of the world where I come from, gamblers are not respected and are seen as irresponsible which makes one not feel alright when doing such. It is good how one can conveniently play from wherever they are with bitcoin online just to  keep themselves void of any attack and unpleasant situations relating to you gambling.
 
I'm surprised to since this is Nitrobetting's biggest advantage over all casinos. They are completely anonymous.

The main selling point of bitcoin casinos - or any online casino in general - is its ease of access and general comfortability. You don't have to travel in order to go to one, and you can literally play with any device that has a working browser that's updated and compatible with the games that they are providing. Another thing is that there aren't any time limitations on online casinos compared to traditional casinos. There are traditional casinos that only have certain operating hours, so if you're already in the middle of winning streak but the it's already their closing time, you have no choice but to leave your game and call it a day.
I guess that is the same as the general feature of a casino which is online be it a cryptocurrency casino or fiat casino and there is much difference between both of them, unless for few differences which are widely not mentioned in most discussions since it quite unnoticed.
That is the cross-border deposit of Bitcoin casinos, unlike the traditional casinos where your location and currency may affect your deposit process.

The odds are something "minimal(%)" that vary from casino to casino, sports betting, regardless of whether it is crypto or not, on the other hand, the bettor's skill is indifferent if he bets on crypto or traditional casino, I don't know why you mention that.

Point 2 tells me that you start to lose yourself in the idea of what you want to say.

One of the great advantages of crypto casinos far removed from featured like PF, cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals, is that there is a large community like bitcointalk.org that supports trust in a group of casinos.
Traditional and Bitcoin casinos are the same. Obviously, the differencenonly is the network these platforms are running through, regulation of the platform or taxation and/or the mode of payment which includes difference with transaction fees as well. A gambler could play the same kind of games on fiat based and crypto based platforms.

With regards to community of users, fiat baded as well has such thing in which players could ask for concerns such as with bugs, and other concerns which has a tendency of mutualism with other players. Legitimacy on the other hand can be easily determined with fiat based becaause of registration of the platform. And with odds, I agree that it is more dependent with the platform or gambling site itself and not to the mentioned condition.

You title stated "Top 5 advantages" and the content ended at number three, what happened to the remaining 2 Op? If you want us to click on the link to check out he rest then why don't you edit your post and make it less misleading.

Besides, I expected to see some kind of contrasting ideas like comparing a Bitcoin casino to traditional casino but instead you only wrote about somethings about Bitcoin casino and left out the traditional casino entirely another misleading information in your post.
This is not your first time of creating content like this and I'm sure another one will pop out again with incomplete information.
Here's he full article→ https://n2g.io/60dc76f

I see the reason why you chose not to share the complete article, it seems like you were looking for traffic afterall but at least you could have edited the title to match the content you posted here in the forum. It's not a must that the title must match with of your website an if anyone is interested in viewing the whole content they can click on the link you sharing 3 instead of the 5 stated in the title won't be a factor that would make anyone want to go to the original article, JSYK.

Next time share content based on what you want others to learn not so that you can set a click bait or force them to leave bitcointalk and cases like that do discourage people to engage in discussions here in bitcointalk.

1. Odds transparency
Traditional online casinos claim they run games via a random number generator. But how random is the number generator?

It’s a legitimate question. What a traditional casino says it does and what it does could be two different things. Bitcoin casinos operate via transparency. You know true odds when you wager in a Bitcoin casino.

If you’re a sports bettor, you understand that knowing the odds is the first part of making smart bets. You won’t always make winning bets, but you will make smart bets, which is the only thing we can do when betting.

In the long run, the more smart bets we make, the more we profit.

2. Safety and security
It would take 51% of all nodes to steal a transaction. By 51%, we mean thousands of computers would have to decide to steal the same transaction.

It’s almost an impossibility. We can’t write impossible because nothing is 100% impossible. But the amount of work it would take to steal your Bitcoin casino deposit is as close to impossible as it gets.

The real reason? Proof of work rewards Bitcoin miners to create blocks, which means the rewards of validating and securing transactions is more than the reward from stealing almost all BTC transactions.

3. Game variety
Variety of games is a sign of an honest casino. The more games there are, the more ways players can win. If a casino offers fewer games, there’s a chance those games could be more prone to shady tactics that lead to losses.

Also, it’s easier to manage payouts when there are fewer games. Traditional casinos that offer fewer games may be fudging the amount they pay out on each win.

Bitcoin casinos often provide more games. Not only that, but the payouts are also often higher due to Bitcoin’s transparency and decentralized aspects.

Have to disagree with some of the points you made and they are a bit nonsensical in some ways. The first one - you mention that online "traditional" aka fiat casinos rely on random number generators and somehow crypto currency casinos do not, that's a lie and a deep misunderstanding of the so-called transparency of provably fair play. Provably fair casinos still work with random number generators all the time, it's just in theory the patterns are more visible if they were not completely random it could be detected more easily, but they still use them. Game variety is also misleading because there are fiat casinos out there which have been operating for decades and built up vastly larger portfolios of games than currently being offered by the average crypto casinos.

From the title of this thread, it clearly shows and I expected to see a comparison article between the advantages of Bitcoin Casinos and that of Traditional casinos, and not this single-sided content you just gave as given above, because only if had the title said to be "Top 5 Advantages of Bitcoin Casinos over Traditional Casinos, then what you just gave would have been partly acceptable.

For example, Note this;
1. When you say advantage of "A vs B", it simply means you are trying to point out the advantage/good qualities which both A & B has independently.

2. But when you say advantage of "A over B", it simply means you are trying to point out that single advantage/good quality which A has over B

And that what it seems the O.P of this thread did, by applying his title using example 1 and writing his content using example 2

With respect to option 3 , it is very varied, by Chance I have seen many casinos, new and old, and they all agree that they use the same game providers and this means running into the same games without taking into account how old they are and apart from all of them. the same , if I enter an old casino and then a new casino, I get the same and identical games, so I don't see much emotion, what matters is that they are casinos that are more original , when I see a casino that has its own own games and that are different from those of other casinos, I lean towards those casinos because they are more Original , maybe you are the same option to win, but it is different.

The mistake you made is giving the subject, the title of "Top 5 advantages of bitcoin casino vs traditional casinos", and only ended up sharing three, read cantsay comment again, he didn't miss the link you shared, so there is no need replying with the link again..

Since you already mentioned "top 5" in the subject, you would have just gone ahead to discuss the entire 5, this does not stop from you sharing the link as a source, instead of directing reading to complete the reading on the site, or did you make this post solely to drive traffic to the site? Are you the Owner of the site?

Although traditional casino don't give a quick update of the odds change, but this could be a reason why some people prefer to gamble on traditional casino because the odds might be higher or lower from the other casino.

You're talking about Bitcoin, not Bitcoin casino!

If you talk about 51% attack we should discuss Bitcoin vs altcoins or Bitcoin vs fiat, not compare two casinos.

What kind of joke this is, a scam casino can just add 2-3 gambling providers and they will have 100+ variety of games. After someone deposit a lot money and they win, just block the withdrawal and abandon it.

Maybe @OP didn't feel that privacy for crypto gamblers was a priority, so I didn't add it. Many crypto gamblers want privacy when gambling, but casinos now are different than a few years ago when the casinos were not asking for verification for their members. But some gamblers, especially younger gamblers, can still gamble in crypto casinos anonymously so they don't have privacy concerns. So if you want to remain an anonymous gambling player, you can still play at crypto casinos but don't use too much money because the casino may ask you to do KYC later.

The biggest advantage of crypto casinos over traditional casinos is the ability to gambler online anonymously in sites where KYC isn't mandatory. This is a blessing in countries where gambling is completely banned.

Low minimum bets, plenty of crypto to play around with and fast transfer speeds are a couple more reasons why crypto casinos are better than traditional casinos.

Traditional FIAT casinos are cleverly adding popular cryptocurrencies as payment methods which goes to show how much they fear crypto casinos.
