Topic: What is the difference between Online and Physical casinos? (Read 427 times)
This question pop out on my mind after I watch a video of Poker tournament on a physical casino, I guess playing physically really have some difference, we can consider the pressure from the crowd and of course, your opponent himself. There are so many factors to consider while playing online you can relax and think carefully. That Video I watch, the opponent is being bluffed by going all-in with 0 to 100 odds in favor of his opponent but his opponent fold because of the pressure. I am not playing on physical casinos, I want to know what is your experiences about this guys, not only poker but including other games?
As far as poker is concerned, I would prefer to just play it online or with people I personally know. I guess I am not well-equipped in terms of playing with your emotion and bluff it out with other poker players. But those who are seriously into poker might prefer the real life games rather than online. Real life poker games must be a lot more fun to them than playing it online. After all, poker is more like a game of minds than just a mere game of cards.
I think this will vary to the kind of game you like to play, if its poker, it's more secured to play in a physical casino than in online casino, that's why the tournament with big money at stake are not done online.
For me, I would only play online for sports betting and some fun games, which are luck based games.

The difference for me is, in physical casinos, you are able to be with lots of people. You will feel the joy and the feeling of something that you can only feel inside the physical casino, it is a feeling that is unexplainable.
Having some people with you while you play in gambling is also a factor why gambling is enjoyable, you can hang up with a lot of people. Also, it is very boring if you play gambling in front of a screen, you can't talk to the screen of your gadget. Playing together with you friends in a physical gambling is more likely a bonding, you can talk with anyone and share your thoughts about a certain thing.
For me, I hate gambling inside the house as that is not the right place and the right time, to gamble. When you're inside the house, your attention should be in your family and not in gambling that's why I don't prefer online gambling. There are a lot of time for you to gambling outside but not in the that you have a bond with your family.
And for example, just like what you have said, in poker, players are able to bluff effectively because of the pressure they can express to their opponents. If you play online, you can't really tell if your opponent is bluffing or not.
That's right, it is hard to play poker online because there are people who are confident enough in playing online. It is also hard to read the faces of your opponent in poker when you can't literally see their faces while in game. While in physical gambling, you can apply strategy and good decision making so that you can win your money.

I have never tried going to any big casinos cause I think there's always a barrier between rich gamblers and to those who are not. I feel like that physical casino is not for me. The crowd, the environment, it's very different from what I know. That's why I prefer to gamble online because I don't have to deal with the other factors since I can gamble at any place I am comfortable with. However, I have tried gambling physically but the place is not really the typical casino vibe. It's a small and simple physical gambling which I sometimes do. With it, I don't have to worry about the environment because it feels like I belong, and I don't have to worry about what others will say. The experience with playing online and physical is different but they can both fulfill my gambling wants, though I still prefer online the most.

When you play a physical casino, you need to have good mental and good control over yourself because you will meet so many people that will push you and defeat you. If you don't have good mental and control, I am afraid that it won't take too long to see you will lose your money. But that will be different if you play at online gambling because you don't meet anyone except yourself, and even your opponent will not have a chance to bluff you. But you will have another challenge that you need to defeat, which is feeling greediness to chase more winnings.
I like Casinos because of the social interaction you can feel with others. Not the one where it's player against player interaction ( though that's also one of the factors ) but rather the interactions between other players you aren't against with. An example is when I'm playing slots, just talking with the person beside me is a unique experience in of itself. Not to mention the countless people working which you can talk with, is more than enough to make me play in a casino. It's quite enjoyable tbh. It's like my purpose changed from gambling to instead socializing. Ofc, if we were strictly talking about gambling, then the pressure in casinos is incomparable to online gaming. Just the fact that you can see other people's facial expressions is added pressure already tbh.

There is a Big difference because in Physical Gambling you can see thru opponent eyes their reactions each deals. we can consider the pressure from the crowd and of course, your opponent himself.
nope i think crowd dont matter because in Live casino silence is what we observe so destruction don't matter mostly. I want to know what is your experiences about this guys, not only poker but including other games?
In most games Card games this matters since games from this are the one who can observe the opponents reactions from every movement they made. 
I guess you could replicate that experience with things like online virtual casino(does VR/AR casino even exist yet?). You could actually have real virtual crowd on VR. Though that will probably depend on the amount of real people you can get to view your games. I think I'd prefer to play more in the "no-crowd" games though.
The big difference is that in a physical casino even if you are playing poker or slot machines or even table games you are not concentrated to the maximum.The atmosphere itself is different in a physical casino with music,drinks and cigarettes all over the place together with people moving around.I cannot play in these conditions so I like 100% more the online casinos where you decide when,where and in what ambient you like playing.In games of skill like poker this greatly enhance your chances to win.
In a physical casino, you will feel the ambiance and the excitement that you won't be able to feel when playing online. Especially if you are playing poker, you can exchange words with your opponents that you can use to increase your strategy in bluffing. You can also read their movements/actions to know their possible move that is impossible to do in online gambling.
The difference between online and physical casino is in an online casino, you can play anytime and anywhere by yourself, and without anyone interfering you physically and mentally. While in a physical casino, you can experience everything you can experience, including the pressure, to be deceived by your opponent, and even to interact with other people.
I am not playing gambling at the casino, but I feel the pressure is there at online gambling. And I got that feeling before I reduce my time in gambling. Somehow, I can't tell what kind of the pressure but that feeling will be at the table. When you can feel it, I think you get that feeling. I don't know what it's named, but for me, it looks at something heavy press me without giving me a room to breathe.
without a room to breathe ? man thats a bit exage . i can only suggest that you should try first playing on the actual game , that is to see your doubts was true or not because you know not all gambler are the same . some think that live casinos are scary but not until they start trying it .
while existing casino players already know the aura inside it so they can refrain from playing on it and switch to online . both types of casinos have pros and cons depending on the gamblers , you should know that if what fits you the most .

Especially in Poker playing live or playing online is a huge factor. Many of the old-style poker players prefer to play in casinos. On the other hand mostly young players prefer to play online. If these players clash in the big live tournaments like the WSOP, players with good live skills have a huge favor. If you have good live reading skills you can outplay your opponents or detect bluffs made by them. On the other hand these players might have a hard time playing online e.g. multitabling and just pressing buttons.
While with online gamblers, those who also playing skill based gambling, it's tough as you are not seeing your opponents and there's no facial reactions to read up and mostly you are basing your position with luck to back you up.
Regulation. If you're playing on a land based casino you can guarantee they go through routine audits to ensure they're paying out players fairly on their bets and that their slot machines aren't rigged to vacuum up money. Nearly every Bitcoin gambling site has a provably fair tab to ensure their bets are fair but some systems are flawed because players don't bother to check them. Reputable casinos don't have this issue but you also have exit scams that will take place and rob you of your deposits/balances. Other times they'll just KYC and you're screwed because they'll legally take your balance away when you try to withdraw.

There are so many difference between online and physical casino and as you have mention the pressure around you when you are at the casino unlike when you are comfortably playing at your place.
The bluffs or poker face when we are playing at a casino we couldn't make it effective when we are playing online and of course the interaction we could see our opponents face to face and talk to them.
When you are playing in physical casino you could see or feel their pressure so you could use it against them of course this could also be used as a bluff.
There are games that is better played offline to have more fun and hang out with our friends.

I doubt that you can have the relaxation just from the comfort of your home when you are playing. Yes, the opponents can't see your body language and you can't be pressured by their "killer eyes" but that goes for everyone. It's part of the game to read your opponent and with the body language factor gone, it also becomes harder for you to read their move. That Video I watch, the opponent is being bluffed by going all-in with 0 to 100 odds in favor of his opponent but his opponent fold because of the pressure. ~
This could have happened also even if it was done online. The player who folded thought the other guy has a stronger hand that's why they folded. The opponent can still put pressure on you whether the game was held on physical casinos or online casinos.

The difference is when you are playing online casino, you can't read your opponent. We all know that the poker is a bluffing game so one of the factor to win there is to look at your opponent and read his/her move. I think that is one of the factor why playing poker online is not that popular cause it is not going to be a skill game anymore if it's online. As for other game as long as it is not a skill based game, the online casino is in advantage. Jump to:
