Everything is on reputation and targeted market, they know that it's easy to open a false accusation on any online casino imagine a Macau-based casino that is so prestigious, then getting a false accusation that alone will harm their reputation as a very popular tourist destination casino.

Land-based casinos brand themselves as a tourist destination so it does not start and end on the gaming board they brand their place, and promote their hotels and their ambiance something that they cannot capture online, so they concentrate on branding themselves on land.

It's not that it's not profitable but they want to protect their brand which they can address if all issues are confined to their gaming venue.

Why would they if they are already getting more than enough money from their patrons that visit their physical casinos? It would just be something that will take resources from them. Plus, usually these physical casino owners have other businesses that are tied to their casinos like hotels and restaurants, so they are hitting a lot of birds in just one stone. Their online presence would be limited to just their advertisements and promotions, and that's basically it. Taking a lot of energy, resources, and time to develop an online copy of what is already physically existing is just a waste of everything.

Besides, why would they want to limit the experience and feel of their physical casino if that's the one thing that people are traveling and visiting them for?

I wonder why real or land based casinos are not offering a virtual or online version of their casino ( I never seen one yet). If they can afford to open a physical casino it seems easy for them to invest in a virtual one as well, possibly combining both to create an experience similar to what Evolution Gaming offers.
And if you are asking why i thought about this it’s simply because by doing it they can expand their business to reach and provide a more reliable and trustworthy platform for gamblers. Just recently we have seen unfortunate cases where online casinos have scammed users and disappeared with their deposits, often due to unknown teams and creators behind these platforms
You mean like the brand of the casino would have online or "virtual" presentive. That you could gamble table games online like in some net casinos you can play on live tables?
I guess that's an idea, but that's technically a whole different area than dealing with physical casino. You would think that it would be easier, and in many ways it would be, but it would be so much different that i am not sure if casinos are even prepare to handle online casinos.

I have a feeling that they would have tried it if they managed to enter successfully to the market that has so much competition already. But it's a whole different game to handle physical casino, hotel, bars etc, than a server being able to handle so much traffic. If it would be cost efficient, i am sure that they would have those more.

Some of them have, but you cannot see a crypto-related well, coz all of them in fiat-based one coz most or all of crypto-related are in online platform. This happened when the pandemic hit, most land based casino (with hotel and resorts) stop operating so their choice is to have an online platform to continue their business.

Many of these land-based casinos are tourist based they not only promote their casinos but the hotel and everything around them like entertainers many of these casinos are government own or affiliated with the government so they concentrate on taxes coming from tourists but we do have a list of land-based casinos with online versions and besides these land-based casinos can sustain their business without an online version, and it's manageable to run a land-based casino.

some of these land-based casinos are now creating their online version especially when this pandemic hit us. they understood the importance of having online version in case people can't visit them physically. but usually, their means of payment method is fiat-based, though some are starting to accept cryptocurrencies.
i've seen in the forum alone that couple of previously fiat-based casinos are now also accepting crypto. they need to adopt the current trend or else, some of their patrons will go somewhere else.

It must be because both markets serve a different purpose and have different target audiences. On one hand, brick and mortar casinos and resorts have existed much time before internet was invented, so they have specialized on serving people in a variety of ways: hotel services, drinks, entertainment, restaurants, etc. It is a big investment, but it is profitable.

On the other hand, we have services which focus on providing gambling without having such a huge infrastructure and are relatively new in comparison to traditional casinos.

While anyone can play on a casino online, most of people have known about the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, not for it's webpage or the possible online service they can provide, but for the resort and the luxury associated to it and the experience of visiting in person.

People who are used to the land based casinos might end up spending time in the physical casinos. The online version might not give them the experience they get from the land based ones. Somehow the gamblers will feel lazy and starts spending time sitting infront of the PC or some other devices for their gambling needs. When it is land based casinos the money is not just out of gambling, more business happens around and the gambling House doesn't want to limit it. In recent years during the COVID lockdown more land based casinos had their online version, but those were stopped once after the services resumed.
