Have you ever played online casino?Is the experience similar to playing physically in casino?Which do you prefer?

There are physical casinos on my place but I did only have one chance to enter out.I cant just resist to spend more when im on that place yet there are lots of games to choose from which is
mostly luck based ex. slots and roulettes and the ambiance is really totally different on which you could really interact personally with those fellow gamblers around
Unlike when you are dealing with online casino then all you do need is to face up a personal computer and made out some online deposit and press those buttons.
With just common sense alone you could really tell on whats their main differences.

I think this is just a matter of personal choice,everyone likes different things and even here we have different opinions.I think the age over 45-50 may like more the physical casinos as they are used much more to it compared to online casinos.Other ages lower maybe like more the online casino.I personally like more online casinos as I can play from the comfort of my couch and being fully concentrated on the game I am playing,even if for example it is a game based on luck like slot machines I can be focused and quit if I see that things are not going my way.It is much more difficult to keep your focus in a place full of persons like a physical casino,drinking alcohol and smoking (which I hate by the way,I hate the smell smoking makes) and you are prone to distractions,that can cost you a lot.In the end I think that online casinos are much better than physical ones and if we see the growth of online casinos vs physical ones we can clearly see where the industry is going.

Its totally different and if you’re not an online person, you might not enjoy playing online so I guess this will depend on your personal preference. Though for over 2 years now since the pandemic started, most of the casinos in my country are not allowed to operate until today so technically, we have no more choice but to play online even if you hate it, there’s no other option you just like it over time but still playing on physical casinos are way more fun to me.

There's a huge difference between playing physically and online, I'm more comfortable playing online than physical, I can play in the comfort of my home anytime and anyplace and without worrying about what I'm wearing, compared to going to a physical casino, here in my location you have to be properly dressed because they have a dress code and traffic is really worse you have 2 to 4 hours of commuting going to casinos and back home, the only advantage of playing in a physical casino, you really feel the ambiance of gambling the excitement is heightened by people around you.

The experience is way too different. Online casinos most times are boring because one is only limited to his screen view no side attraction no unnecessary noise no fun to keep losers smiling even after losing all the have. The difference is way too much and can't be compared. I think the advantage online casinos has over physical casino bis the total privacy and space

The experience is different though you can have fun on both maybe depends on how you see things online.
I prefer to play on Casinos before but since they are still close as well in my country it left me no choice but to gamble more online since those Casinos companies enters into online casinos as well to continue their operations so I feel like I still gambling on physical casinos since I’m experiencing their good services online. Its more safe now to play online, just make sure you are dealing with the legit site.

Completely different experiences. Online casino seems designed in a different style it's more like a video game. They can't have the same atmosphere of real casino. They don't have free drinks, beautiful women around you, the general image "of party" ;D .
At the end... if you lose in a real casino you had a lot of fun and you are playing along other people.
Of course if you are able to play games that requires focus... it's better you play online casino... but except for "provably fair" game it is very easy get scammed.

Online casinos grows a lot in the last 2 years and that is because of pandemic, many people goes online because of so many restrictions of the government and many physical casinos are still not open to operate. Convenience and safety wise, I’ll go for online casinos but if you really want to have fun better to play on physical casinos. If everything goes back to normal, I will choose to play on physical casinos, I actually miss their free snacks and drinks.  :D

Privacy and convenience on your own home where you could play without minding yourself on going outside specially now that we are on pandemic situation which it would really be safe when you do gamble online but when it comes to experience then its a whole lot different and just like others been saying which is actually true.The difference is really like trying to compare heaven and earth.
You could really find out for yourself which one interest you the most but for me then nothing beats out when you do gamble physically on where you could really make
out interaction unlike when you are sitting in front of your PC.

everyone on this forum plays online casinos, the question is why? I think the main reason is because online casinos accept cryptocurrencies which makes it easier for people to use online casinos. I particularly haven't entered a physical casino yet and so I can't say what the feeling of playing in a physical casino is, but I can assume that it's a good feeling for the following reason:

in a physical casino, the person talks to another person, interacts with many people, the pressure level must be greater in each bet or game compared to an online casino

it has been a while that i entered and played in a physical casino. the experience may be different when you compare it to online casino. but there are so many benefits when you play online, the convenience you can get and you can play small. you also don't have to worry about dressing up or of that sort. you can practically play at the comfort of your home, anytime, anywhere.
but we can't neglect the experience in physical casinos. but with this pandemic and the risk of playing inside, i guess, a lot of gamblers here will prefer to play online. this is why online casinos are booming because many gamblers are finding its benefits during these challenging times.

Honestly, I never played in physical casinos and have no idea to play there. So far, I only played in online casinos in my spare time, not every day. Why did I choose online casinos? It provides flexibility and allows the user to keep his privacy. I don't need to go anywhere to play any games on the casino sites and I don't need to show my identity publicly. I also can play in the casino sites whenever I want. For me, these advantages are the big reasons why I choose the online casinos.

If not because of online, I do not think I will ever gamble in my life, online makes life easy with gambling. For better privacy, online casino will be better because it is you and yourself and the betting company unlike physical casino that you will have to interact with people, but it is still the same goal, to play casino games and try to win and earn some amount of money. I have never played physical casino before, online casinos makes it easy as you can gamble at your home, but addiction is the problem of online casinos and other online games people gamble with.

Well actually I tried them both, the experience of physical casinos is you will see who are your opponent and real faces while online casinos mostly are fighting against house edge or sometimes in a real player. However, there are 3 of them --the online casino, physical casino, and the virtual casino that uses VR, I never tried this casino using Goggle which is I think seems like a physical casino that you feel that you have faced a real opponent.
This is very trending now the metaverse game that every gambler wanted to experience including me.

If you are an introvert person and don't want a crowded environment, online casino will be your best friend.
And that is right, addiction will be your problem if you don't know how to control yourself as it is easy for you to access your account.
What I like about online casino is you can easily check the provable fairness of your game.
Unlike in physical casinos, I don't know how to check the fairness of your game, because mostly they don't care about that.
Also, you can gamble without anyone knowing it. That is, if you don't disclose to anyone you are gambling. :)
Because in physical casino, you might see someone that you know of when you enter the casino.

I played in physical casino once with my friend, its been few years ago. The experience is good but im not comfortable maybe because im not a big time gambler (seeing the people around I can say im different on them).

Hence I still prefer to gamble online, convenient, not crowded and you have a privacy. Honestly if there's no online casino, I will not have a way to gamble anymore since physical gambling here in my place is prohibited especially now that there's still a pandemic. Anyway, probably most of gamblers here prefer online casino, aside from the convenience, the fact that most online casinos now are accepting crypto its easy for us to make a deposit and gamble.

It all depends on who you are.. they're some categories of people that aren't computer inclined, so for this,their passion for online casinos and any form of computerization dies as a matter of fact.
We still have learned people that were greatly exposed that even at thier old ages, they can still operate online casinos if there are shown and would even prefer it because they don't like the stress of moving up and down to print tickets since they're aged..
 We also have young and vibrant people who have not had their privilege to operate and understand computer techniques so for these reason, they prefer casinos in stalls and shops ...
It all depends on you

Far difference. It's not even a good comparison. It's the thrill that was gone when you are playing online casinos. You don't have the same energy as you were sitting next to your opponent or the dealer. The stares, the sound, the bluff, and a lot of things that is happening in your environment, that's what is missing when you are just sitting in front of your computer. Some may say, yeah I enjoy this better but I think that is just to be optimistic about what is happening in this pandemic. Better to be safe than risk it going to the casino with a headache for a prize.

Well, both gives completely different user experience. In an online casino the convenience is the best part you can gamble from anywhere in any casino and there is no border until your country is allowing their citizen to gamble whereas in an online casino you can have limited choices depends on where you are living and also have to spend more on reaching the casino and extra expenses like tips,etc.

I will choose an online casino at anyday because this is an internet era so don't waste your time just gamble from your place.

the same sensation but it's a little different because it's noisy too and sounds very disturbing concentration ,online casinos can be easily accessed anytime and anywhere without noise that makes you not focus on playing ,the actual fact is just as stressful for every vein in the body feels like drying

Certainly the best choice online casino in my country. Apart from health reasons, time constraints and security, we do not have a legal physical casino.
But that doesn't mean we can't play some casino games like other countries, it's just that the casinos in our country are non-permanent with the added thrill of playing outdoors (traditional markets, people's backyards, empty buildings, forests, etc.), and alertness will be caught. police officers on patrol.

On certain days different game dealers lay out their carpets in one place (as agreed) and move around each time.

I have only visited a few times to traditional casinos and I have no money when I was there, I only played on slot machines. If you have a lot of money to mingle with players and girls inside the casino, I'd probably like it more inside the physical casino than online.

Right now though we are satisfied with online for most of the casinos today are close due to covid. Although I'm mostly for sports betting, online casinos still satisfy me playing baccarat and blackjack.

Yeah right. And I think most of the gamblers will turn online casino rather than entering in physical casino due to this pandemic.

Actually, Ive never played in physical casino,neither playing online casino .Thats why I am so curious. :)

There is one physical casino is the city where I live.I have never visited that casino.
I hate being around people,because I can't concentrate and enjoy the games.
Having many people around you is distracting and I'm more like an introverted person.
My choice would be definitely online casino.Gambling while you are in your comfort zone is highly preferable.
I prefer playing poker,rather than playing all those low IQ slots,dice,crash games.I have nothing against them,but they could get really boring pretty fast.
Playing poker at a physical casino would be a horrible experience for me. :(

Agreed, the physical act of holding the cards or playing the slot machines, as well as the noise, is significantly different in the physical casino than it is online. However, online gambling allows you to play whenever you want, and the game and money are still involved; the only difference is that it is not tangible. However, you will get used to it. Because of the pandemic, it is preferable to play online rather than visiting a casino to ensure one's safety. This is simply my personal preference, but if the situation ever becomes more stable, I will visit a physical casino.

Of course and I did play it regularly in the past few years but now I have less time to play and decide to reduce my gambling habbit.


Never played in physical casino because it is not available in my country due to the strict law against gambling activity, so I have no idea what is the feel/thrills while playing in physical casino.


Without a doubt I prefer online casino even if physical casino is available in my country. Online casino gives me the chance to play anonymously unlike physical casino where I have to meet other gamblers. Online casino is also one stop place casino where I can play many different games without moving anywhere.

We play on online casinos many times and play in many online casinos. The experience will be different to playing in the offline casino as we do not meet people in a room and we do not hear any yelling or other voices from other people since we can play online gambling in our room. As I do not go to the physical casino, I prefer to play online gambling because I do not have to go out from my home, especially we are still at the pandemic which needs us to stay at home more often.

I played in online and in physical casinos. The experience is very different for me, playing online is all about the games and making some money, or atleast not to lose money. When playing in Las Vegas it's more about the experience and having a good time. Losing money in Las Vegas doesn't hurt so much because there are all the nice things around you. Nice hotels with good pools, awesome food, many bars and clubs. It's just completely different to online gambling. Unfortunately since the pandemic I haven't been inside any physical casino.

And you ask that in the crypto-related gambling section where all the action is online! Yea, we are regular online crypto gamblers! Some of us are even complete degens, but let's not go that way...

The years have passed since the last time I entered the physical casino! I will not say that I will never enter some physical casino again, maybe one day the road will take me there, but certainly not in the near future... Physical casinos have a special atmosphere, but I enjoy it when I arrange everything how I like! Big screen, comfortable chair, something to drink and I am good to go! No dressing, driving, and all other unnecessary things... crypto gambling makes life easier!  

I guess only 1/100000000 user here will say never play online casino ;D even he's only play with faucet or demo account, but he already click spin on the casino... he ever play it :D

Online casino are good if you want to play without got any disturb from anyone or you want to enjoy your quality time yourself and you can play anytime you want. While physical casino you'll have much adrenaline and fun with your friends, also you can get more friendship unlike online casino.

You are right, I have the same impressions from these two seemingly identical types of gambling. Offline casinos are like going to a nightclub, while online gambling is more like listening to music with headphones. Both pleasures are good in a certain mood, but they are completely different. I can’t say that because of the covid, just because I’m a family person, I prefer online gambling.

Indeed you have never played online & physically, I think this kind of question, of course you know it yourself, experience, fun, likes etc.

In my personal opinion, online & physical casinos, to place bets are the same, what's different online you can't see your opponent directly, while physically you can meet in person, that's different, the way to play is the same.

Yeah, you're right mate, these two types of gambling are just like each other and they only differ in the approach of playing or gambling experience. This kind of concern was raised because we are now having two types of gambling places that we can enjoy however because of the pandemic online casinos became the preferred place to gamble with since businesses like casinos are not open because of the virus. But I guess even if the pandemic was over online gambling will be in the choices and if I am going to choose I would also prefer a online gambling instead.

Since we're in the pandemic situation, I personally prefer playing with online casinos for lots of reasons. It gives me the comfortability and convenience that I need since I could easily gamble and play whenever and wherever I want which is actually safer since I wouldn't get exposed to viruses outside. I don't need to travel just to gamble anymore since online casinos are everywhere on the internet.

Seriously? you are asking us if we did try playing online? we are here in crypto community and most of us have been wearing gambling banner and you are asking this?
common man surely almost everyone here have already played at least once in online casino.

but asking about comparing physical to Online? of course this is very different ,

first Online requires no audience , no other people around , no voices that applause in case you won huge.

in Physical casino , there are more people,great ambiance and there are plenty of drinks and girls around lol .

It would be stressful for both when you are losing wherever you choose to play but it's more stressful to play online because you have all the means and access to your money. Nevertheless, you should know your own limit when playing both platforms because it's a totally big mess when you lose the money you shouldn't. playing sometimes may carry you away from reality but try to moderate yourself and know when to stop when things aren't going your way.

Most of us here did.

The experience is totally different, you get the point of playing physically and online. I prefer to stay online and I just have to save my energy I'm pretty safe gambling online without any threat of being infected by the covid-19. People may be vaccinated against the virus but no one is exempted from containing it despite being vaccinated, fully or 1 dose.

The experience is different since playing physically is more fun since there are more interaction to other gamblers which you play at, also I enjoy this since the level of competition is different unlike playing online. But we cannot do anything since as the pandemic hit us we only have this to entertain us while the world is on lockdown and for now I'm enjoying what reputable casino offer here but I can say the game experience is so different since sometimes I get bored playing online.

I only played on online casinos and not in a physical casino. Most members here will say that they already played online casinos but some people are also playing on the physical casino. While we are still at the pandemic, I think not many physical casinos is reopened and allow many people to gather in their place to play gambling. So we prefer to play on online casinos because that will be safe for us and we do not have to use social distancing while playing gambling. But the experience will be different because we do not see other players face to face and do not know their reaction when they lose or win.

They are vastly different experiences, it is like comparing football to playing a video game. Take poker for example - there are huge differences in the atmosphere around it. You'll be looking in peoples eyes when you go to bluff them, there will sometimes be anger and conversation at the table as people try to get a read on you. If you're on a winning streak at the poker table, it's somewhat expected that you'll tip the dealer a little extra. You will also often find that casinos will give you free alcoholic drinks, which might come as a shock the first time you go to pay for it - they will take a small expense in the hope it loosens you up to spend a lot more money while tipsy. You'll encounter a lot faster play if when you're online, as people are concentrated and focused, there can be fewer distractions with strictly enforced time limits.

Well, OP, ain't obvious that you've posted in a crypto forum under the gambling discussion section. Most of the people here are into gambling and that's why we're discussing the experience of everyone is with online casinos. But, there are gamblers that before they get introduced to online gambling, they've been into fiat gambling and as well as visited physical casinos. The ideal activity to do right now is online. I don't like a noisy environment and that's normal if you ever get into an actual casino.

I prefer an online casino due to the pandemic, gambling at home is the wises idea now to avoid getting infected with the virus. Also, going to casino is expensive as well, you don't only gamble there you can also buy some stuff that would eventually make you lose your money, going to the casino is best done if your purpose is to have fun, but if you are serious in making money, then online casino is the best answer for that.

Of course, being on this forum means playing online casinos, I think your statement is not quite right with what he said.

About the experience I don't know what I feel is playing online casino which is more fun to be anywhere as long as it is connected to the internet, maybe someone else will experience a physical casino how he feels and of course it will be very different. IMO

So what I like is that online casinos are simpler and practice everywhere.

In fact, the citizens of many countries have no choice because of the laws and so they have nothing to do but play online casinos. I would prefer to play in a real casino with friends as the only way to get real pleasure from the game but it is impossible because the specially designated gambling zone is too far from my locality.

Of course, a lot of difference when you play online and going to a land base casinos. Obviously, a lot of people around you, maybe you play with your friends or saw some of your friends inside the casino. Atmosphere is totally difference because it is really noisy in a land base, while online you can play inside your room alone. And speaking of online casinos, they still allow us to play, as long as you have your vaccination card with you before entering.

For different reasons people prefer online as well as offline casinos. Once after the pandemic the usage of online casinos have increased alot. These days online casinos were trying the best to give the real-time experience of being in a physical casino. Anyhow that isn't possible, but to some extent through the technology this is taking effect. Maybe the next level of VR usage will fulfill it.

I have no chance to gamble in land based casino because gambling is illegal in my country.
The only way to gamble for people in my country is by playing in online casino or playing PVP card games with neighbors/friends in hidden place.
This reason is clear for me and most people in my country to choose online casino although it is still something dangerous for us because we might be jailed if the Police catch us when we do it.

I have some experience with physical casinos but they are not my style, most casinos do make an effort to create a friendly environment but when you have to deal with people which are outright drunk or under the influence of some illegal substance the experience soon losses its appeal to me, now all of this was before the pandemic, so I have even less of an incentive to go there especially since a lot of casinos have been closed in my country due to casinos not respecting the new rules concerning the pandemic.

I played mostly on online casinos and a few times in real casinos. Tbh I prefer real life casinos to online casinos because of the environment. You know, hot girls, free drinks, it is not home... Because of covid19 it is probably a better idea to play on an online casino though especially if you have a health condition.

Have you never played offline or online casino before? because this question you should be able to feel for yourself if you do it!

For me, playing online casinos is certainly more comfortable because I can calmly play at home while eating snacks and drinks casually, while offline casinos are very crowded and I am not comfortable with that
