If a casino is transparent in their dealings and have earned good ratings and reviews from those that have gambled there before, there is no need trying to go into a physical one because you feel going to a physical one will make things more transparent and cannot be rigged.

It is a two way options though and I think both of them can be reliable to bet on if any of those casinos have trusted reviews from their already existing customers that have used them before. Some go online because of the stress of walking down to a physical casino, also some go online in order to hide from the public that they’re gamblers.

Those that prefer physical also do it for other reasons like; mingling with other gamblers and having to see how they bet and react to wins and losses which they can’t find when they’re gambling on their devices indoors.

Mind you about physical casinos that they've got more cost into their operations rather than the online ones. And that's why they've got more profit margins in the physical ones to sustain the cost for everything. But if that's what you feel about going inside a physical casinos and you feel more safe and games are not rigged. That's on you because just remember that all casinos, online and offline are there to make money. Thus, we always get to hear these words "the house always wins".

Do you believe the casino games are rigged? If yes, then your belief should not only be centered on whether the online casino is unfair more than the offline, as anything that the operator wants to rig they can do in your front without you noticing it. I have not been in any physical casino before; I have not even been to Las Vegas before, but for the sake of my privacy, I just feel much more comfortable with betting in an online casino than walking to a physical casino with a bunch of cash in my hand. My safety matters to me a lot, and I like to avoid physical contact as much as I can. The fairness I really don’t care much about as long as the place has gained my trust.

Well, there are fewer physical casinos and they are usually huge brands that don't need to rig anything.

The problem with online casinos is that there are many generic ones that are most likely rigging bets and stealing funds. That's why you don't just use any gambling website, but go with trusted ones that have something to lose.

Yeet for example has many known names behind it and they have no reasons to rig anything when they can invest to become huge and earn in a legit way. Remember that casinos are profitable, so they don't need to steal from customers to make money, that's just what some crooked ones do.

We have provably fairness which is a system that let's you to verify the fairness of the results after the bet anf you will be provided with hashed seed that you can see whether it matches and there's no way a casino can change it and that's how we can ensure that bets are completely random and not rigged by the casino.

So in online casino that uses provably fairness is more random than the dealer you see in a physical casino who got his limitations when it comes to complete randomness.

Online they are much more likely to withhold your funds for some excuse like "KYC/AML needs further review and more docs." In that sense, quite a few of them are rigged, especially if you have a big win. The games themselves are probably honest and "fair" they don't need to cheat there to win your money.

Definitely you can't compared online and offline casinos because they aren't the same just that one is physical and the other is online, and yes how did you run the code or test it to be entirely proven to be trustworthy. What just happened is that when gambling online they have made their own adjustments and work it in a favor of themselves and when you are gambling they often benefit from the gambler than the way gamblers benefits from them, although there are mostly rated casinos that has gained trust and reputation over the time, such as Metawin, stake.com and some other few casino, you can gambling without having any fear that your bet or games are being manipulated.

I would think that the lower overhead of online casinos would give them a higher payout ratio than casinos like those in Las Vegas where they have a ton of lights to power, drinks to give away, and employees to pay. Each casino is different though. That’s why it is important to use a reputable casino that won’t rip you off.

Less rigged, less wear and tear creating natural bias on the equipment I think is a fair argument for the virtual over the physical sites.
  Its down to personal preference but old or tired worn, possibly damaged roulette wheel or maybe other devices in a game can lead to bias or a rigged game if you like.  They do change cards constantly for this reason I think but its not as easy on other considerations.

Just like Asiska02 has said in his comment that if they have good ratting or review then no need to worry. I agree to that. Offline and online casino are almost thesame thing and everyone will go for the one that best fits for them. There is no big deal in Gambling online, Both online and offline  are thesame just that people prefer each of them base on convenient. I think if there is any of them that is not transparent, it will surely be detected by the gamblers and trust me gamblers are not that dumb to not give a negative review or rating. So if there is no transparency in any of the online or offline Casino it will surely be communicated and everyone will stay away from such Casino be it online or offline because no one is happy losing money.

Use a trustworthy casino, be it online or land based.

Know that be it online or land based, if you are gambling against the casino, there is casino house edge and that makes it easy for the casino to make more money from you.

After you know trustworthy casinos, let your preference choose for you. I mean the one you enjoyed most. Some people may choose online casinos because of privacy.

I believe both are rigged to the extent that they require profits. However, when we consider the cost of both, I think online casinos spend less money, so they don't need to rig them excessively to cover their employee expenses and also generate profits.

As long as we are using a reputable online casino, we don't really need to spend too much before the RTP comes. It will likely happen. It's just a matter of luck and timing. I'd rather play slots in an online casino than the physical ones, although it's still fun pressing that spin button sometimes. :D

They are two different operations with different costs. There are good and bad casinos, this goes for both online and physical ones. Many online casinos that claimed to be provably fair turned out not to be fair after all. One thing you should never forget is that the house always wins. You have to see it as entertainment. Looking at it that way, I'd personally rather go to a physical casino. It just seems more fun.

If you believe those coded games are rigged, why not play live games like Baccarat? You know, they also offer live versions not just computer operated ones. Anyway, whether you play online or in a physical casino, for example, Blackjack or Baccarat, your chances of winning will still be the same, right? Or better yet, go and experiment to see which one gives you more profit or at least improves your chances of winning. As for me, I’ll just go with the live dealer in online casinos. It saves me the hassle.

i never really have thought that online casinos are rigged but another benefit of playing in a physical casino is the experience itself you walk in and you see the actual casino instead of just seeing your room which you see all the time anyway

anyway there are also ways for a physical casino to be rigged without you noticing so the argument doesn’t make much sense to me


Title: Re: Are online Casinos more rigged than physical Casinos like in Las Vegas?
Post by: Ryu_Ar1 on July 15, 2025, 11:51:21 PM
To be honest, for now I still cannot classify this because what I play is only online gambling because there are no offline casinos in the area or even in my country so it will be very difficult to compare if we have never even touched one of them but in this case certainly when talking about transparency then it is clear that things like this become a benchmark of course.
As for when talking about cheating and others as long as the casino we play in the end still has a very good reputation even though it is online and has transparency in terms of ratings and reviews from many other gamblers then I don't think we need to doubt too much especially in this case regardless of transparency or whatever in the end reputation is at stake so for online casinos especially for large casinos it is clear that in the end they will not risk their reputation just for small money for them.

Sometimes the problem of cheating is always indicated to when the loser but feels that it is unfair but in fact gambling is like that where both online or land-based casinos they are clearly a business that is prioritized so that when we win at one time in the end sooner or later defeat will occur if we continue to play a game.

That's true. All casinos share the same goal: to profit from the large number of people who gamble at their casinos. They've orchestrated everything to consistently generate profits by advertising as attractively as possible to entice people to gamble.
Both online and offline casinos have the same goal, and as a gambler, I don't believe online casinos are inherently fraudulent. I don't know where the fraud stems from, especially since I've never even set foot in a brick-and-mortar casino.

In an online live casino you can also see the dealer, the wheel, dice, whatever, although not in person.

If not with a live game, you can choose online casinos which offer provably fair games and do the verification yourself. That's probably better than machines in brick-and-mortar casinos being guaranteed fair. In a land-based casino, there's no way you can confirm the results yourself being truly random.

When it comes to transparency, I think blockchain is better at it than audited machines in brick-and-mortar casinos.

This applies to online casinos too. Yes there are a lot of new platform nowadays but there really are very few ones that are legit and reliable. Don't just play on any platform you see right away but go review them first and see what others say about it and check what are the credibilities of this platform.

That will be your choice to select offline casino like in Vegas or choose online casino. You need to know where will make you comfortable when gambling. Offline or online casino can rigged and that is certain but if you just want to have fun, you will not think about rig or else but only want to have fun.

I am mostly playing gambling at online casino and not in offline casino so I don't know about that. I realize that online casino can rig to their gamblers but I don't think about that and only want to have fun for a while.

Yes, like one dealer, caught cheating in online games,

https://img.youtube.com/vi/RV3byndreUk/0.jpg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV3byndreUk)

However, if you are that meticulous, there are software by casinos to check if they are provably fair, but the question is, are gambling really doing that? In brick and mortar casinos, as far as my experience goes, I haven't seen the casinos cheating. But they could have rigged results for all we know. Like maybe we have a suspicion that a roulette machine could be rigged with magnets on the ball. As I have witnessed games wherein out of 36 numbers, there will be one that no one is going to beat and then suddenly this number is going to win.

Well, you think that but I must say that casino are being thoroughly vetted before they start operation, meaning they prove free of rigging, the same results you have with physical casinos same results you have with online casinos. The differences are just a matter of being physically contacted with the machine and the other one maintain privacy where you wouldn't have much contact physically with anyone while gambling and no ones monitors your gambling activities except the casino itself.

However, you must learn to always gambling with what you feels you can risk than using an amount that you can't spend to gamble or an amount meant for something very productive and useful, for instance you can use 1 to 2 percent of monthly income to gamble if you think the online casino aren't transparent enough to be trusted.

In theory, they shouldn't be, especially since if users notice this, the casino will simply be abandoned.
In Italy, the state-run AAMS system controls all the authorizations required to open an online casino or even access one.
They are very restrictive in their selection and controls; if they find anything that doesn't suit users, they shut down the site.
Unfortunately, little-known casinos can exhibit these behaviors, where the unsuspecting user continues to play on something that will never pay out. This is my advice,
before entering information on little-known online casinos, do some research on that platform.

If you have enough money to visit luxury casinos, then I see no reason why you shouldn't. An important difference between online casinos is accessibility for gamblers with any level of wealth. Ordinary casinos are for people who are, let's say, not poor. As for the issue of trust in software, it is highly doubtful that hypothetical dishonest gambling providers would not have been caught by the hand yet. There are statistical control methods. I would provide a link to the article, but the article is not in English.

Therefore, I will briefly convey the essence. For example, you mention roulette. To control the integrity, you need to calculate the Expected Value and Standard Deviation. If the actual test result after a series of spins (for example, one hundred thousand spins) deviated by more than 3 Standard Deviation (-3 or 3) from the Expected Value, then there is a suspicion that this result is not accidental. As you can see, the above example shows that gambling, even with a closed code, can be checked based on its statistical results.

In a physical casino you see everything happening in front of your cards being dealt, dice being rolled, the roulette wheel spinning that visibility gives you some peace of mind plus the social vibe and atmosphere are part of the thrill. Online casinos run purely on code and RNGs. Legit ones are regulated and audited but it does come down to trust and not every site is trustworthy. I tend to stick to licensed platforms with a good rep and provably fair games where possible.

This is a good question- like what you mentioned in physical casinos, you can actually see the cards being dealt to you. Additionally, in the event of any error on the part of the dealer, cards can always be reshuffled in case of a misdeal or any kind of mistake.

For online gambling, on the other hand, I guess the most kind of guarantee that they can offer would be the feedback that other users may give. Normally, online gambling casinos follow the system of provably fair in their algorithms to ensure security and guarantee on how they distribute odds as a whole.

While this may be the practice of most online gambling companies, I do recommend that before anyone invests their time on a specific casino, make sure to read the reviews and feedback given by their players.

Except you have a valid proof, the online games are not transparent; these claims are mere speculations or based on hearsay. The word rigged game has been in existence before the invention of online casinos, which means physical casino games can also be rigged. Some online casinos might be unfair because of greed.

If you observe that a casino is rigging games,  you should stop playing there and switch to another one. There are many reputable casinos that I assume might not engage in such malpractice. However, I have not had any experience with an online casino that rigs games.

First of all I dont think that casinos, physical or online are rigged, or they are rigged that it is possible to notice. Casino earn enough without cheating. They have endless amount of customers that I dont see reason why try to cheat, when your business is provided with clients for decades.

at least in real casino you see the dealer, the wheel, dice, the cash

On the other hand, even if you see the dealer, wheel, its not guarantee that dealer is cheating and doing handicrafts. You can physically open wheel, examine how its made, and even if its rigged, you wont find that out.

Your curiosity is on point, the likelyhood of getting cheated online is very big compare to walking into a casino and gamble.

1. The online casino is not located anywhere, even if there is a address it might never exists.

2. People used to talk about game providers, some are good than the others but that doesn't mean it can't be rigged compare to you playing a game with another gambler.

3. In the end, player vs player gambling is the best, you can read the opponent and know what their next move is but no such thing online.

The only thing online did better is privacy, no one knows you are into gambling and no one will know who you are when you hit it big, the privacy level of online casinos is why I even become a gambler today, if it never existed I won't bother to be a gambler.

It's because some gambler's doesn't want to go out, and would rather play at home online.

As for the question, it's really hard to answer, we can just have our own speculation on it. I have played both though, but still can't tell the difference if games are being rigged or not. Maybe others says that it's online because after all we have seen some videos on it. Recently, I saw one, but I will not want to put it here as it's one of the most active casinos here. Dealer is seen changing the cards, you have to see it for yourself how cheating is in front of the mirror. And for sure this dealer might have been fired on the spot for doing the obvious cheating.

Not all online casino is fair since there are scams which provably can ripped you off.

But if you choose to gamble on reputable casino provably you won't experience that situation since provably those casino could offer you a fair environment.

Physical and online casino have their own fairness audit that's why you don't need to worry about it especially if you gamble on compliance and regulated platform. What need to consider here is your participation or how you take things on gambling since if you have this high expectation to win and can't accept losses then provably that you might really think that you are been rigged by those casinos.

We can't generalize online casinos and offline casinos depending on their nature of being offline or online. There are online and offline casinos that are not rigged (rigged in sense of going out of their own terms to scam gamblers) and there maybe both types that are rigged.
When it comes to percentage of casinos that are rigged, that would be very small but the percentage would be higher on online casinos as its easier to setup, could be started with zero registration or getting your name involved. This lack of responsibility would make these online platforms a heaven for scammers and defamation might just mean changing the domain. While for physical casinos, they would do their best not to tarnish their image, it doesn't mean they are not rigged but they are less likely to.

I believe that there is such a huge difference between online gambling and gambling in a physical casino that they are practically different things if they were not united by the same chances of winning money or losing it completely.
The thing is that going to a physical casino is a whole event. To do this, you need to dress neatly, because the casino will not let you in if you look bad.
There the casino premises will be full of sounds of lights and other people, which is not entirely acceptable for many of the gamblers with a closed character type.

Both online casinos and physical casinos can be manipulated. In physical casinos the machines can be tampered through the strings or chips in the machine making it to go the way they want it while in an online casinos the developers only need to tamper the codes with an algorithm that will make chances of winning in the casinos limited. Well there are casinos that are fair and you as a gambler should make your own research before using any of them. If you dont like the casinos feel free to find the ones you comfortable with.

Both online casinos and offline casinos have their flaws, but that doesn't mean that there are no reputable online casinos that have provably mechanism. We have reputable casinos in the forum. You can test any of them to see the one that can provide you what you are looking for in a casino.

The risk attached with physical casino makes it not that safe compared to gambling online from your comfort zone. However, it's fun to have both experience and not because you feel that one is rigged and the other is not.

I do believe that there’s a shady provider but it’s hard to prove because they are close source and losing data as not enough to conclude that they are scam.

I frequently just mark those shady provider to avoid it when I play. Live88 provider is one of the provider that I’m dodging right now due to bad experience on playing games.

I think that's just your opinion; there's no concrete evidence that brick-and-mortar casinos are more transparent than online casinos. in fact, brick-and-mortar casinos are more likely to be rigged because they have higher operating costs and require more profit to stay in business. therefore, i don't see it as a physical casino or not, but rather its reputation. if it's a reputable platform, i believe it's more transparent and less rigged.

Looking at it that way, I'd personally rather go to a physical casino. It just seems more fun.
Both of them cannot determine who is cheating because you have to judge for yourself how the casino is with its reputation --- and it is true that there are still casinos that claim to be fair but the fact that many complaints cannot be resolved means that it is not fair, right?

Yeah you will never win against the bookies so be aware of this, having never been to a physical casino is there more fun with lots of people and women? ;D

at least in real casino you see the dealer, the wheel, dice, the cash
like there is some transparency on other hand the online it is all code and you have to trust the software and hope the site not screwing with you

what do u think curious to hear from people who have done both

Anyone that thinks that online casinos are rigged it's just something they assume because they can't really tell if it's a fact. If you say it's rigged in other words the casino is cheating but this isn't really accurate. In online casinos it's always against the gamblers because of the house edge but this is normal because gamblers know the risks involved and also know that winning any game is just a function of luck

Only because you can see the dices, the wheel and the cards in front of you because you are in a brick and mortar casino, it does not mean there is nothing rigged being done behind the curtains, you know. Actually, behind the invention of internet and online casinos, there were small casinos in the old times who used tricked to scam their gamblers, you know.
I remember seeing a documentary film about some people who usually restore gambling furtinure, and in one occasion they found a roulette which was rigged by the house so they could control the color where the little ball landed on.
So, even though there are also scam casinos out there on the internet, thanks to technological advances it is possible to gamble on provably fair games and games who are open source games as well.

So, I would recommend you not to close yourself to both physical and online casinos, because both of them have something to offer to gamblers, according to their desires and needs.

I've heard some stories about how physical casinos in Las Vegas rig their gambling results to cheat gamblers but this isn't something that I have experienced so I can't really say that's true because it's against the rule of the casinos to cheat and I don't think that they would break their own regulations... Online casinos are not rigged expect you are talking about illegal casinos that cheat gamblers

It is very difficult for you to see a gambling platform that will be able to rig results, because they know that if caught, gamblers are going to give a bad review about them and this is going to affect their reputation as many coming across them may not like what they may see regarding them, this is not about a physical casino or online gambling casino, but the reputation a gambling platform must have to go along side with this, though i may not doubt there may be location base differences.

For slot machines I know they are better in online casinos simply because you have a huge choice, huge number of providers and different themed slots, something you will never find in a real physical casino. For dice, poker and blackjack maybe the physical casinos can be a bit better yet I doubt it very much. In physical casinos the max win is never or at least I have not seen a slot offering more than x10.000-x20.000 max multiplier while in software casinos we have seen number much higher than these and being hit by real people. Another thing I don't like about physical casinos, at least in Europe, a huge majority of these casinos are dominated by Novomatic slots which honestly it is no good provider compared to Play n GO, Pragmatic, Hacksaw or Nolimit City which dominate the online world. So overall software casinos regarding slot machines are much better than physical ones.

If you think physical casinos are more transparent than the online casinos why are people still making used of the online casino to gamble?

Because if you like a town like Isabella in MN you have to drive 20 miles to the gas station, what do you think the trip back and forth to a casino might be?

Only because you can see the dices, the wheel and the cards in front of you because you are in a brick and mortar casino, it does not mean there is nothing rigged being done behind the curtains, you know. Actually, behind the invention of internet and online casinos, there were small casinos in the old times who used tricked to scam their gamblers, you know.

Old times...
Real casinos are way more regulated, prone to inspections, and have a lot more people involved in the daily operations,  more employees who could catch wind of anything shady going on.
Online casinos? They can rig a few games with just two tech guys in the loop. Try pulling that in a physical casino and you’d need to get almost everyone onboard, including the same security staff trained to spot cheating, and they will notice something irregular.
And let’s be honest, no one’s risking prison for a small bribe. Once you start adding more people and increasing the bribes and pie shares, it’s just not worth it. You’re better off looking for another opportunity altogether.

That's the reason we have so many online casinos and so few real life, it's a pain in the ass to manage them.
After all, Trump bankrupted 4 casinos...

For me, it doesn't matter if it's online or physical casinos because casinos either online or physical is all about earn money from people who are gambling. It's not like everyday a person who gambles in a casino will win. Even if you total all the money you lose and money you is that it won't even have the same amount and you may be able to win back the money you lose by winning huge amount of money but the chances are very low because casinos are business to begin with.

Both online and land-based casinos have their own pros and cons. But honestly, there’s no rigged involved as long as the online casino you’re playing at has a good reputation. Sometimes we lose, and we can’t really blame the online or physical casino for that. Gambling is a business after all it’s designed to make a profit. So in the end, both types of casinos are pretty much the same, and there’s no foul play going on.

Mind you about physical casinos that they've got more cost into their operations rather than the online ones. And that's why they've got more profit margins in the physical ones to sustain the cost for everything. But if that's what you feel about going inside a physical casinos and you feel more safe and games are not rigged. That's on you because just remember that all casinos, online and offline are there to make money. Thus, we always get to hear these words "the house always wins".
That's true. All casinos share the same goal: to profit from the large number of people who gamble at their casinos. They've orchestrated everything to consistently generate profits by advertising as attractively as possible to entice people to gamble.
Both online and offline casinos have the same goal, and as a gambler, I don't believe online casinos are inherently fraudulent. I don't know where the fraud stems from, especially since I've never even set foot in a brick-and-mortar casino.
The fraud topics comes from the frustrated gamblers that have lost a lot of money and that's due to their irresponsible gambling. They're making casino games rigged and fraud based on their experience because they can't accept the fact that they've lost a lot of money. And so, if someone calls out a casino without proper forum and they're only throwing their ad hominem on them, it only means that they've lost and instead of proving their argument. They're only throw their frustration and accuses that these casinos have rigged their games.

Both online casinos and physical casinos can be manipulated. In physical casinos the machines can be tampered through the strings or chips in the machine making it to go the way they want it while in an online casinos the developers only need to tamper the codes with an algorithm that will make chances of winning in the casinos limited. Well there are casinos that are fair and you as a gambler should make your own research before using any of them. If you dont like the casinos feel free to find the ones you comfortable with.

Are cases of machines being rigged in physical casinos frequent? I think they are very rare or such cases are exceptions. I think offline casinos are more oriented on customers return that online casinos, and that is why they prefer to operate fair. They all are in profit anyway. Its way much expensive to start an offline casino than online. So I cant even imagine what should be the amount of scam, that it will cover all expenses on opening a casino, because if scam reveals, business will be closed. I mean that no one would scam gambler for thousands, if it cost tens millions to open a casino?

I don't think online casinos are more rigged than land-based casinos. First, we have to resort to averages, which is very difficult. There are various elements of deceit or rigging in any form of casino. But online casinos, like any other online establishments, are protected from fraud by the institution of reputation. Indeed, no casino can ignore its reputation if it wants to exist in the long term. Moreover, reputation is one of the main intangible assets. Therefore, we should not demonize online casinos too much.

Card games have shuffle machines making it fully random. Slot machines have special people who do maintenance. I think all or most games are digitalized and there is a company that does maintenance. Casino only provide space, gambling service, manage finances. If somebody even tries to rig something, its a maintenance company. But that is going to cost them reputation, license.

In fact everyone if doing gambling activities depends on their own understanding, it can be said that everyone experiences experience of online gambling and in physical gambling is different, it certainly cannot be equated with others.

I personally before I knew online gambling, of course, I got to know the physical casino house earlier, but my experience was normal, no cheating, I got paid and lost.
Online casino, from my experience more and less 5 years no one is harmed for me the casino that I use at this time, I won at paying and losing the same as physical casino, so I don't know the system in Vegas because I haven't been there.

So my experience for the two casinos that you mean for me is the same, for now I am still normal and safe.

I'm really happy to hear that physical casinos are now digitalized so that nobody can personally manipulate the outcome of games. It won't be in the best interest of casinos whether physical or online to rig their games because if it becomes known it'll dent their reputation and most gamblers will not patronize them. I think that the established house edge should be enough for them, it is a fact that it's very hard for any gambler to continue being profitable on the long term. Reputation should matter when it comes to casinos, a casino that is trustworthy will last long in the industry.

The truth is that what you think you are seeing right in front of you may not be as you see it. So long as it's a kind of system operating it, it can be rigged, whether it is online or offline. However, the online gambling system can be more rigged than the physical ones, and some of the ones you have access to in physical casinos are now purely electronic. This means that they can also be easily rigged regardless of where you are accessing them. It is the question of how you are accessing them.

The first thought that comes to my mind is "don't they charge an entrance fee to the physical casinos in Vegas?".
It would just be logical, because every tourist would be able to constantly walk around and just look at all the casinos, and the owners of this one wouldn't be able to make any profit from such a guy. Isn't that right? So it seems to me that in Vegas it's not enough to just come and place your bets in the casino, especially if you don't have a lot of money. I think that only rich people have a place there.

Online casinos, especially the popular ones with millions of customer all around the world, earned their reputation because they don't rig games, even if maybe they sometimes do it, they are unnoticed and people have already trusted them to be fair. So, if you are gambling on a trusted reputable casino, you will have some confident that the game will not be rigged. Even in physical casino, rigging would be avoided because the casino don't know who might be observing and once it's detected that they are rigging game and being exposed, it will destroy their reputation.

In offline casino you get emotions. You get show. In online casino you just one on one with your phone/PC. Visiting offline casino you visit wonderful show. And pay money for it. You don`t calculate anything, you just getting fun.
You chances to win are the same. But playing online - you can be calm. In offline casino - you make lots of mistakes due to emotions you get.
But if you have an opportunity - it would be nice to visit offline casino, i don`t know anybody, who didn`t like it.

I have experience playing in both offline and online casinos. What can I say about this? For me, offline casinos are a completely different user experience (than online casinos). In offline casinos, I was most attracted to roulette. Before me, roulette was the embodiment of a person's struggle with Chaos, with Luck, with Chance. 💥

As a child, I read many books by the American writer Jack London. Many of his heroes (pioneers, explorers, gold prospectors) loved to play roulette. That's why I always dreamed of visiting a real offline casino and playing roulette (it was my childhood dream). My second love is poker. In good offline casinos, you can play poker with other players. When I hear the word "poker", I immediately remember the main character of Jack London's novel "Time Waits for No One". By the way, this novel very well reveals people's motivation to gamble.  If anyone hasn't read this book, then you should definitely read it.

In my opinion, visiting an offline casino can be considered a cultural event, that is, it is comparable to going to the cinema, theater or an art exhibition. It is a great place not only for gambling, but also for aesthetic pleasure (usually offline casinos are very beautifully decorated, sometimes concerts and other cultural events are held right there for players). 🏛️

Online casinos are a completely different kind of gambling. For example, I really like betting on sports in online casinos. This is a completely different world, where my love for sports and my love for analytical work merge. I really love real life, offline life, but online life in the virtual space is also necessary for a person of the 21st century. This fully applies to online casinos and the gambling they offer to players. As for honesty and the absence of fraud, in this regard, in my opinion, offline casinos and online casinos are approximately equal.💫

Technically I think it's easier to rig an online casino especially if it's a small one that not many people know about. But not in the big ones, besides they don't need to do it at all, since they make a lot of money simply by operating normally.

Another thing is the perception. I have met people working in physical casinos and there are also people who complain to the dealer as if he was shuffling wrong or doing something weird on purpose.

I believe all of these are assumptions.  It is hard to say anything without a proven fact.  We all know both the online and land based casino are here to make business and generate money for the owner, that is why there is this house edge thing.

As far as I know, machines used in land-based casinos are tested since there is always a regular audit and testing made by the regulatory board to ensure that casinos are not rigging their machine.  I believe the same thing is done in an online casino.  Also, I believe casinos have the duty of submitting a report on their game statistics, and if that was way off, they will be suspected of rigging their machine and possibly penalized by revoking their license.

So I think casinos will think twice before rigging their machines.  It isn't easy to get a license to operate and they need to spend thousands if not millions of dollar on their promotions and advertisement.

I don't see any proof from your post, just because you see the dealer, wheel, dice and cash, it doesn't mean they're legit.

If you play roulette, you need to know whether the machine is not getting controlled by someone or not. If you play slots, you also need to know how the machine work and it's transparency.

Online casinos are better because they give information about the games and they also show the RTP rate, we can make research about which providers are legit because many gamblers had share their experience.

The issue with today's gamblers is that they don't even look on if the game they're playing is provably fair.
Consider going after games that are probably fair if you care about not being cheated. This way the outcomes are guaranteed to be predetermined. This helps combat the casino changing your chances based on how big your bet is. It would be trivial to be cheated without this measure implemented.

So if you care avoid games without provable fairness.

It is difficult to consider which one has a higher chance of winning.

I actually think that gambler's luck plays a big role everywhere, be it online gambling or offline gambling. I have even seen gamblers who have won a lot in offline casinos and even made huge profits. So in this case, it is difficult to actually come to any conclusions, without properly researching and collecting information.

Provali Fair Games allows you to verify each result yourself, as you control the client seed, get a hashed server seed and view the nonce before playing, and confirm the result later using SHA‑256 hashing.

However, dont think all casinos are handling this thing very well. You will find many casinos who are abusing a non-changing client seed or reset the nonce, which creates opportunities for manipulation even they have Provali Fair badge. So yes, look for Provali Fair Games, but also verify that the platform implements the seed/nonce correctly. Tools like Chainlink VRF and reputable audits are important.

That's very true because in both online and real world gambling it's the house that's the winner. Gamblers win occasionally but the house always remain in profit. If you are getting into gambling then you have to accept this fact that more money flows from gambler to casinos then from casino to gamblers. I can't say whether real world casino machines are more tempered compared to online casinos but the whole gambling industry is designed in a way that house keep winning and gamblers keep losing.

Physical casinos are certainly a lot of fun, but since it is a specific place, going there to gamble is a time-consuming matter and at the same time, gambling in a physical casino cannot be hidden. Due to which many times one has to face many problems. However, in the case of online casinos, one can gamble anywhere by sitting only with a smartphone, which is a big advantage. I do not care how the games are being managed on an online casino platform. Because I go there only for fun and I think an online casino platform is capable of giving me enough fun. However, it can be a problem for those who become addicted to gambling. Because in online casinos, one can gamble by hiding oneself, due to which there is no one to give advice to an addicted gambler, due to which he cannot easily get out of his addiction.

this is the thing, and many of the online casinos are provably fair, you can check the stats on that and even check RTP before deciding to play in an online casinos

The real thing on here is that not all people or gamblers would be that mindful up that much and would be busying themselves on trying to check those hashes on every roll they do made but rather they would be just that simply accepting out immediately that they've been that dealing with a fair company and wont be minding about into those rolls that they would be that making. Somehow it does have some sense on having this kind of approach specially if you are that dealing into some known platform or something which is that popular on which you would already be that assuming that you can be able to find yourself dealing up with the right place on which this is actually that being on point.

When it comes on rigging up the games then its possible and could definitely be that happening on which we should be  that trying out to make ourselves that being that attentive on possible cheating or rigging up with those results. Speaking about on online casinos then it could actually happen but this could be that more rampant into those not known or non popular because usually those casinos that do able to hit up those status on being credible and trusted then you can already that trying out to assume that you've been dealing on the right place on which this isnt actually that a bad consideration at all. There are just that those times that you do become that too sensitive when it comes to fairness on whcih this isnt that a bad approach because we do want to play on a fair platform on which even if we do find ourselves that losing up that much but at least we do know that we do lose on a fair way and not on something which is manipulative or being rigged because it do give out that suck feeling when it comes to that manner.

at least in real casino you see the dealer, the wheel, dice, the cash
like there is some transparency on other hand the online it is all code and you have to trust the software and hope the site not screwing with you

what do u think curious to hear from people who have done both
Those who were really into gambling precovid would be in support of physical casinos. While those who started gambling after covid when online gambling became very popular and common would choose online casinos but in my estimation I would say that there is no difference. Both types of casinos gives you the impression that you are in control but you are really not. Just they always say during a magic show, the more you look the less you see. To be on a safe side just gamble responsibly and go home.

The truth is that you don't have access to the code that runs either of these operations, so will never be able to know what sort of rigging takes place. There is very big money to be made if a casino is able to gain even an extra 1% advantage in the odds versus the player, so they have great incentive to manipulate games in their favor. However there is a conflicting reality which is - casinos don't want to annoy people any more than necessary, like by making them lose more often than at another casino, because the player is always going to lose but they might notice the difference in frequency. A casinos job is to milk the players as much as possible, which they can do by being perfectly transparent and telling people up front the odds. I highly doubt many casinos abuse this position, because just being honest is super lucrative.

I can't prove whether they're rigged or not; only a serious investigation by the appropriate authorities can tell. But we know the house always has the edge. Casinos don't profit from how much you bet, they profit from how much you lose. Therefore, I can say that their greatest interest is for you to lose. But first, they'll let you have that taste of victory, because that way, with confidence, you'll bet more money.

This is the real truth, there's no way they would just give the gambler a bad impression knowing that it could reduce the person's interest, so what the casino does, both physical and online casinos, is to make gamblers win for the first go and then the rest is a history. The system is designed in such a way that you wouldn't even have that thought of rigging but can just think it's the usual ways of gambling. I was thinking that even if casinos are to be rigged, online casinos would have the case more but gamblers can not detect that easily.

This happens to almost every gambler, in the first stage they win a little, and then they find a kind of confidence in themselves, then the gambler feels that they are winning like this, and then they cannot stop gambling. They start gambling completely addicted to gambling, and then their losing streak starts, but then despite losing continuously, they cannot stop gambling immediately. They cannot stop gambling before losing all the cash they have in their hands. It is like a cycle, and once you are immersed in this cycle, you will definitely face big losses.

Casinos don't profit from how much you bet, they profit from how much you lose.
And if you lose that bet you've made then it means that it's still profit for them.

Therefore, I can say that their greatest interest is for you to lose. But first, they'll let you have that taste of victory, because that way, with confidence, you'll bet more money.
That's the normal thing in gambling. I think even in gambling places like Las Vegas, you'd really taste the sweet victory in the beginning and they'll allow that. And once you're hooked and losing a lot of money in them, you'll have hard time in getting out of it. But if it's the opposite, and they've noticed that you're winning significant amount of money, you'll be stopped and might even get banned to enter their premises.

This is the biggest what if in online casino. No one will know if they are cheating since they are operating online while their customers is from different country that can’t demand an investigation internationally.

Unlike the physical casino which all games is being audited by regulators on the country they are operating.

That’s why it’s important to play on reputable casino so that you can minimize the risk of playing rigged online gambling games.

I think there's been a lot of talk lately about cheating or fixing bets. This is always going to be a possibility whether we like it or not. Whether it's an online casino or a brick-and-mortar establishment, it doesn't matter; cheating can happen in both. But cheating isn't as easy as just saying it, since these sites are often audited or monitored.

So you can rest assured that almost always, whether you win or lose, it's largely due to your own luck.

Online they are much more likely to withhold your funds for some excuse like "KYC/AML needs further review and more docs." In that sense, quite a few of them are rigged, especially if you have a big win. The games themselves are probably honest and "fair" they don't need to cheat there to win your money.
Even though there is a requirement for KYC/AML online, online gambling is still very popular nowadays because physically gambling offline on the roadside or in open spaces can be very troublesome for a respectable person and can be a loss of respect. For example, I can never gamble in front of people in my area because I am a humble and polite guy to the people of my area. If I gamble, people will comment badly on me, that is why I always prefer online gambling. There are many such people who can do the same and they will prefer online gambling. So, no matter how convenient offline gambling is, it is not at all preferable for me.

Which also means that your chance of winning will always be limited than your chances of losing each bet. And as such as a gambler, it's only best to understand that lose is part of gambling, and luck always plays an important role to the success of any gambler. Because switching to gambling on a physical casino wouldn't stop you from losing, because if it was possible, then every citizen in Las Vegas who has access to physical casinos would have all been millionaires by today. But it's sad they are not, and that comes to a conclusion that luck plays an important role in the success of every gambler.

If the algorithm is provably fair, then it can not be something that is rigged. Either the casino follows the algorithm or it is rigged, but not both.

In fact even reputable casinos tend to rig their games, which is not the case with online casinos. Educated online gamblers would ask the casino to prove ways to prove that they game is random and not manipulated. Playing at casinos which have these features ensure that at least the outcome of the games are fair. Still the casino can do manipulations and complicate your life when you try to withdraw those winnings. That's why it is best to play a provably fair and reputable online casinos only.

I believe online casinos are the ones more rigged because they can be easily manipulated without anybody knowing. Despite we monitoring the online casino, code can be altered without we knowing about it. Physical cainso getting altered can be caught that easy hence they won't get that altered frequently like online casinos. Online casinos can also get hacked and the hackers input a code that makes it easy for them to win that's they rigged the game and this time it isn't the faults of the casino because the problem isn't from them but they're being hacked. When casino gets hacked, before the casino gets aware of this, the hackers would had made way with many coins.

But in a nutshell, how many educated gamblers have you seen asking casinos to prove it's games if it's either manipulated or not? Because to be frankly speaking, I literally don't think any of such thing do happen. Because educated gamblers do not have the right to ask a casino to proof if it's game is either manipulated or not. And when it comes to which  type of casino is the most rigged, then no doubt, I can boldly say that physical casino, most especially those casino games like cards and roulette are less to be manipulated, unlike slot games.

Here online you will find many scams as well as many reputable casinos whose legit reviews are available online. If you talk about stake, jackclub, dueltbit, rollbit etc casinos then most of them are licensed by good companies and are well reputable.
And besides, another simple thing here is that before you gamble, you should pay attention to which games provider the game is from. Because most casinos use games from companies like Pragmatic Play and Evolution, which are not actually manipulated.

Reputation is built over time, so online casinos that are known reputable here in the forum, I would say, is indeed reputable and trustworthy. But yes, there are so many scam casinos just like the known one in this forum. So before you signed up and tempted with the clickbaits or promos, try to search the feedback or players' reviews and you will have insights on how they are treating their players. In this gambling board alone, you can check the trust summary of the casino's rep and you will get the idea if they are indeed worthy or not.

I actually meant the same thing, currently new crypto online casinos are being created all the time but most of them are scammers. In many cases, it has been seen that they promote themselves by hiring big influencers, and if we talk about social media, it has become like a cancer nowadays, in almost every advertisement, we see promotions of new gambling sites.

And for this reason, I think that for fair play in gambling, one should follow community-based reviews and then choose the right and reputable casino.

Well, I agree that we can think of real casinos as legitimate places to gamble, you can actually see everything, real people and stuff. But everything has tricks to it, even the machines are coded, they're not using a traditional slot machine there so we shouldn't expect we are having a legit and safe space in real casinos unless it's regulated.

But if a casino is always regulated then there are specific games that gives them profits, like they won't need to scam people just to earn profits.

So yeah, as long as there's an assurance to the real casino and you really prefer it than online casinos then it's up to you bro. For online casino, we all know that it's rigged and built for the house to win a lot but there are bunch of platforms that are legit and can be trusted, you're here in this forum, you can actually see them since there are bunch of users promoting those legit and trustable online casinos.

There is no sufficient data to show that casinos including physical and online casinos are rigged, we can only speculate with no prove. The only thing we can rely on is that casinos are designed with a house edge, but we cannot rule out the possibility of rigging. It will not even make sense to dwell with the mindset of rigging because it will always discourage you from playing actively.

Mind you about physical casinos that they've got more cost into their operations rather than the online ones. And that's why they've got more profit margins in the physical ones to sustain the cost for everything. But if that's what you feel about going inside a physical casinos and you feel more safe and games are not rigged. That's on you because just remember that all casinos, online and offline are there to make money. Thus, we always get to hear these words "the house always wins".
There's no how we can know if a casino is rigging us their customers or not, if we don't have a proof then we shouldn't bother about what we don't know. Where my focus lies is if the casino is reputable, if a casino has a good record I think that should be enough for me. We understand about house edge in casinos because they're businesses that are open to make profit but if they are fair in the house edge not to cheat the gamblers I think that would be fair enough. We as gamblers should understand that we cannot be more profitable than the casinos so far we're gambling for a long time, if you consider it as rigging then you shouldn't gamble.

Honestly, that completely depends on the gambler's preferences. Some thought online gambling can make you more addicted, but still it happens to offline casinos. Some say that online casinos can make you spend more compared to offline casinos. However, some also claim that many offline gamblers are in huge debt.

Who's telling the truth is difficult to find. But there is one thing I could say—better choose to gamble responsibly, whether it is online or offline. If you are just having fun, that will be okay. But if you gamble because of money, that certainly makes you disappointed.

In online casinos though there are some mechanisms in place to stop the gambler when he clearly deposit in a continuous way and some casinos once the online gambler has made more than 5 or 10 deposits depending on the casino they will not let the gambler to deposit again, something you will not find in offline casinos, in such physical ones you will be allowed to deposit as much as you want and as many times as you want so in this context it is much more dangerous to play in a physical casino where limits are not in place at all. Most addicted are those in online casinos while most in debt I know that are persons who go to physical casinos as they don't know limits, once they get mad they keep spending money there.

Are you perturbed to self exclusion features to limit the amount you can gamble?

This feature is also available on physical casino which you can request to the management since you have a card whenever you will cash in or cash out on physical casino.

I think this feature is voluntary even on online casino since you are the one who will set this restriction in online casino.

However, I think that since we have to spend money, it would be better to always analyze the sites thoroughly before gambling so that the entertainment remains intact.

I don't think many people will want to go to the management of random casinos to ask something like this in person. That is why online casinos have many advantages. If they have such a feature you can simply enable it without asking or telling anything to anybody. As you say it is voluntary in both cases so there is not much a difference in that. If you want to set it you will and if you want to disable it to suffer more losses then you can do it.

I would say that there is no need for manipulation, all casinos, whether physical or online, need their house edge, what happens is that in some casinos their RTP varies, in physical casinos I do not like to play slots, but in online casinos I do, because I feel that in online casinos I have more options to win, and that is something that I maintain, it is not a belief, for me it is a fact, so you cannot say that there is manipulation there, just as I like to play roulette more in physical casinos than in an online casino and for the same reason.

at least in real casino you see the dealer, the wheel, dice, the cash
like there is some transparency on other hand the online it is all code and you have to trust the software and hope the site not screwing with you
I've tried both, and what I've observed is that fraudulence is gambling does not depend on the location of the casino, whether it's a physical shop, or an online gambling platform. If the administration is corrupt, and the crooked officials can't be kicked against by the disciplinary team (if they got any), it's all because that's part of their initial agenda.

I've experienced the worst moments in physical casinos where people became so violent out of frustration for not being paid after they were able to bag a huge win. Tickets getting squeezed, monitors and booking systems ripped apart, big screens getting slammed and the whole scenerio turning into a small riot. I've also read a thousand complaints from unsatisfied and misjudged clients, calling out the casinos involved to pay out in full, their funds in their wallet/ review the cases for proper investigations -- we all know that takes forever to happen!

I would say that there is no need for manipulation, all casinos, whether physical or online, need their house edge, what happens is that in some casinos their RTP varies, in physical casinos I do not like to play slots, but in online casinos I do, because I feel that in online casinos I have more options to win, and that is something that I maintain, it is not a belief, for me it is a fact, so you cannot say that there is manipulation there, just as I like to play roulette more in physical casinos than in an online casino and for the same reason.

But we admitted that manipulation can happen in both online and offline casinos. We also do not know how they hide that from their customers but people may judge that happen especially if no one wins from playing gambling in their casino. But both casinos can manipulate easily as not many people will bother check their system and make sure everything is fair. So we can not judge which will be more rigged between online or offline casinos because we don't know the truth.

Honestly, you'll find many more scam casinos online than you would in Las Vegas, but I think it's much easier to stay away from them.

Here online you will find many scams as well as many reputable casinos whose legit reviews are available online. If you talk about stake, jackclub, dueltbit, rollbit etc casinos then most of them are licensed by good companies and are well reputable.
And besides, another simple thing here is that before you gamble, you should pay attention to which games provider the game is from. Because most casinos use games from companies like Pragmatic Play and Evolution, which are not actually manipulated.

In general, I would feel more confined I am not getting scammed if I tried a new casino in Las Vegas than trying a new casino which recently started their operations on the internet. As a rule of thumb, brick and mortar casinos in the United States and Europe are tightly regulated and there is more scrutiny on them by their local government than those on the internet and use their own games which are not provably fair and lacking of any regulation, regulation and liquidity are important too when comes to physical casinos and some online casinos which operate with both Bitcoin and Fiat.
Also, I assume casinos in Las Vegas are subjected to random check of fairness by regulators to make sure everything is alright, and the only advantage the house has is the edge initially established and gamblers are aware of when they first steps into the gambling floor.

This is point manipulation can happen anywhere it's always possible for them to do tricks and have their advantage but recently online activity is increasing which is giving impression here things are much better than physical casinos.
Here few points are also important like its never been easy to judge truth how things are working and can we check things about fairness which are also not easy for all I personally never been in any physical casino just because of this never been aware about things happening there.
Online stuff is always ok for me, I mostly love to go which works for me, but I feel not comfortable then surely I stopped and change because I have few choices which works for me and give me.

I think this is a very good idea, but the casino in Las Vegas is very far away for many gamblers. Even if you live in the US, it is not a short journey, you will need to devote time and money to this, for a flight, a hotel and accommodation, food and other needs.
And if the gambler is not from the US, then you also need to come up with reasons in the form of a visa, and pay for a very expensive flight, and later you will also need to fly back to your country for some money.
Yes, of course, it is a big event: a flight to Las Vegas, but I can’t imagine how much money you need to win there in a physical casino so that such a trip does not become too expensive.

If you have chosen an online licensed casino, then you should not worry that the RTP (Return to Player) may be reduced there, since in both cases the games are supplied by the same providers as in offline casinos.

I have never been to a physical casino so I won't say anything about them for lack of experience,  though some online chatter about them has claimed rigged machines meant to game custormers,  and some owners have claimed faulty machines after a user has won millions which does give impressions of rigged games.

As of online casino's ,  well for tried and tested platforms this isn't worth it for them as house edge does make them the money...but unfortunately we have seen isolated cases of video evidence which shows that a casino has cheated a player but again isolated cases.

And because of the use of cryptocurrencies online, it becomes very difficult to trace them or bring them under regulation, which is why we see thousands of scam sites here. Even in some cases, they create their own games and pretend to be big game providers with their logos. So we need to do a little analysis while choosing a gambling platform, both online and offline.

That will be your choice to select offline casino like in Vegas or choose online casino. You need to know where will make you comfortable when gambling. Offline or online casino can rigged and that is certain but if you just want to have fun, you will not think about rig or else but only want to have fun.
Las Vegas is one place where you can easily find casino spots around different streets that you don't have to go far to find one. For a place like that it's common for gamblers to want to gamble using the physical casinos more often than they do with online. But for some of use living where you have to cover some long miles before accessing one, you just have to rely on the online by making sure to use a casino with good reputation and reviews from older users who share their experiences with them. Regardless you're gambling for fun or not, a gambler deserves fair play.

And for that very reason I hope that this season the Roma puts in a great performance they are no less than them, I think they have it clear In addition , it is time for this team to show what they are made of They have not shone like they did under Emperor Totti for many years, It is time for them to get into the top positions of Serie A.

what do u think curious to hear from people who have done both

It’s hard to say that, as both can be audited. They are regulated, you can only say that to casinos online or offline that have a bad reputation, but for those licensed and regulated, we cannot conclude anything if you want a fair games on casinos offline or online then choose a reputable casinos that are licensed and regulated they don't have to cheat their players to profit they already have a house edge that make them wins against a gambler.

That’s true, but I’m just curious because I’ve seen some casinos that don’t display the RTP. I’ve also read some articles saying that a casino can request an RTP lower than the standard. For example, in one popular casino, the RTP might be 98%, while a lesser-known casino could set it at 96% but won’t show it to the public so people won’t complain if they knew the standard RTP.

Our minds do love on generating out those ideas and assumptions specially if we are that on the losing side.

Rigged? No one knows but sure thing that HE will be that making you a losser in longer runs and this something that you do need to watch out. If you are just that playing for the sake of entertainment and doesnt mind up the cost, then thats a good approach you do have there. In regarding about being rigged or not then there's no way that we can prove out and thats why we do have those kind of presumptions basing up on what are the potential things that they might be doing behind the curtains against into their players because we do know that gamblers who do make more loses which means that they are that making money or generate even more money. We can make out some comparison in regarding about in overall execution of actions about on gambling games being played but in overall gamblers would be sharing up on the same result or outcome on which it basically talks about being a loser in the end of the day.

Provably fair casinos were more reliable than physical ones, because their results could be easily checked in real time by anyone. Physical casinos, on the other hand, aren't accessible to have their legitimacy proved and you still have to trust third parties (auditors) to check it from times to times.

Actually, legitimacy was a very important flag and principle in crypto gambling during the early years of dice industry. However, within time, it slowly had its importance decreased, as we don't hear much about provably fairness feature anymore. Most people don't care about it and casinos even less, it seems...

When you start winning too much the physical casinos on vegas will make you persona non grata and kick you out of the place, banning you for the trip. I have seen this happen many times because they think you are cheating, counting cards or just because they know you will give them many losses so it's better to cut it while they didn't lose too much.

In trusted online casinos this doesn't happen. Some casinos that aren't so trustable ask for KYC and freeze your account to try to intimidate you, but you can take the money most of the time.

I have never been to a physical casino so I won't say anything about them for lack of experience,  though some online chatter about them has claimed rigged machines meant to game custormers,  and some owners have claimed faulty machines after a user has won millions which does give impressions of rigged games.

I saw a case where someone won jackpot on a physical slots machine in vegas and because it was faulty it didn't warn or give credits to the gambler. But the casino tried to find the guy and gave him the earnings. This shows it's not all casinos that rig.

The problem is that nowadays most people always want something simple and when it exists then why look for things that are difficult to do, as well as in gambling that is done.
Time constraints, wanting something that leads to more privacy and several other factors certainly make us prefer to be in online gambling rather than leaving for a long time to go to the casino and interact with other people (even if it's fellow gamblers) but on several occasions there is discomfort for some people including for me personally.

In addition, the point is in the level of cheating, actually this becomes a bit cliché because when we consider online gambling cheating just because we lose it also becomes a naive thing to do because however we must be aware that the possibility of losing in gambling is a certainty so that when saying cheating just because it is based on the defeat we feel it is a condition that in my opinion seems imposing.

This is a good story to tell to create a good reputation for the said casino. Casinos like this have inventories and need to account for all winnings, which is why they look for the winner of that slot.

The regulators, licensed issuers, and casinos do not want to give the impression that they are being cheated out of their money; they offer a chance to win, and regulators can verify the fairness of the game.
The casino industry will not become a multi-billion-dollar industry if the general feeling of the gambling community is bad.

Depends on the casino I mean a genuine and trustworthy online casino will not scam or cheat their customers. Personally visiting a land base casino seems stressful likewise everyone with their different reason, op is more concerned about transparency but, The physical casino still comes with different kinds of complain meaning finding a good casino in general is kind of hard. The online casino and physical casino render same service but, the special part with a physical casino you get to see what’s going on like the process, when having difficult issues you can talk directly to the service team meanwhile an online casino still provide the support center, there’s nothing special about the real casino.

Both the physical and online casino are rigged and there isn't anyway to know which one is more rigged because the focus of the physical casino will just be in specific locations and can't tell you the real data of physical casinos misconducts. If we're talking about unfairness then I'll go with online casino especially the newly launched ones because they have nothing to lose if they're being unfair and got caught. You get to win some big amounts and all of a sudden it's a fault of some bug and not your luck. I have seen stories of people getting denied their rewards and there was nothing they could do and this is why we have to be careful of some of the platforms we decide to patronize.

True.
You're right, it's actually very difficult to understand if even a casino has rigged the games. Usually, an ordinary gambler can never catch that, but professionals can basically catch these things.
However, it is also true that many casino games have been caught rigged. In many cases, dealers have been caught trying to rig games. And that's why I think we should gamble keeping all these things in mind and choose the most reputable platforms for this. We shouldn't choose a casino just because of the offers and deposit bonuses. And of course, when gambling, I need to keep this in mind that there is a high chance of losing my funds.

Online casino platforms that are still new and do not have any certificates or audits from the government are just scam casinos that will only play tricks on their users,
any big winnings will not be paid and will only freeze the user's account.

It is easier to cheat for new online Casinos, Untraceable because they are new and new users only receive the loss of their money.

But for an old and reputable and legal online casino, cheating may not happen, but some old casinos that have started to reduce their profits could be that they will cheat
and then will shut down their services so that many users lose their winnings and money in their accounts.
