Land base slot vs Online slot RTP

[Coin_trader]

Land Base Slot

This type of slot is perfect if you are searching for a real entertainment since most of physical slot offer a flashy and addictive games.

IRL casino typically has a lot of fixed expenses compared to online casino. They need to hire staff, security, electricity for all the machine, flashy lights air conditioning, etc and taxes. This is the reason why the casino usually charge this extra cost on slots RTP since it’s the most popular game in the casino. RTP can go as low as 75% while the average RTP is +-90% which is far lesser than the online slot games.

Based on other user experience, Other casino put a 99% RTP sign on one of the machine to mislead players that all slots have same RTP while in reality its only that single slot have high RTP in the row and the rest has low RTP.

Online Slot

This is perfect for gamble that doesn’t have enough time to go out and play in physical casino due to work and other things. You can experience the vibes of playing slot while using a hand held device. Although physical slot is still the best for gambling experience but still this is good if you are a busy person since the huge win is the main source of entertainment here.

Online casino has lesser operating cost since they don’t have the physical casino. This is why most of the online slots offer high RTP with up to 98% RTP. Online slot can offer high multiplier because they have lesser operational cost and this is their main feature to attract more players since they lack the physical experience. Gambler will not be interested on playing a slot game online if it only promises small grand prize like IRL casino offering.


Conclusion: Land based slot is only good to play if you only want to become entertained since their RTP and max payout is ridiculous. Online slot on the other hand offers high return since they have lesser operating cost and high payout is there main attraction. People should stop hitting the land based casino if there main purpose is hitting a jackpot because it’s really not worth it. Land base slot has a low jackpot prize and you need to bet high amount in able to have a chance to get it while online slot can give you the chance to hit that kind of jackpot with lower bet amount.

This is a great thread  I must say but I really don't think there is any need trying to compare this both since they both have their specific roles and targets just as you already spelt out.
I specifically gamble more on online slot due  to my schedules but I also do visit the land based ones at every slightest opportunity  that I grab especially  with friends and most times I find it more entertaining  to visit  the land based casino especially  when I want to make new friends and enjoy some good chilled soda.
But I think for security  purposes I choose to do most of my gambling  online and that's why I never the visit the land based casinos  alone.

[ryzaadit]

Agre, the RTP are f*ck us on Landbase.

I believe around 60-70%, Imagine on there people are easily spent 10-100$/spin and guess what "Jackpot" triggered by only 3,000$ ~LOL I always funny to see landbase slot, the attendance need to give him the money only 3,000$ with 50-100$/spin.

Slot in Landbase should be avoided ~XD

[mak013]

It depends on what you want. For me the main purpose of gambling is to get emotions. And the most interesting gambling is in the offline casino. If you haven`t purpose to get the bank - it is the best way to get positive emotions. But if you want to win or just not to lose longer - online casino is the best decision.

[Beparanf]

Agree on this. I follow an influencer on facebook that going live whenever he is playing land based slot. His bankroll is 1000$ and betting 25$ to 50$ per spin. Sometimes he do 100$ per spin and guess what, A win above 1000$ will need the casino staff to manually give the cash prize.

Imaging playing on this kind of casino that has a low jackpot prize while you are risking huge some of money per bet just to get a decent win.

Land base slot = ❌
Online slot = ✅ 💯

[Plaguedeath]

It's nothing new if most gamblers playing in land based casino is for fun, while most gamblers playing in online casino is for making money.

Although in online casino is better than land based casino regarding it's odds or RTP, but the house is still has higher chance to win. Due to private, active 24/7 and easier to access, many gamblers are more addicted in online casino rather than land based casino.

I wonder if there are ways for players to verify the fairness of the land-base slots. I'd be discouraged from playing them if there's none. On the other hand, I find these slots to be more entertaining than online slots. These slots have more physical engagement and great atmosphere of the environment, thus playing just hits differently.

Such lowness of land-base slots' RTPs does make sense, as what you said, given the high operating costs. Gladly, there is good news for operators who are looking to cut operational costs – a new trend that's worth exploring, migration to online casino business. While online casinos offer convenience and accessibility, many players still longs the unique atmosphere of traditional casinos. Online casinos are convenient, but some people still prefer traditional casinos. Both should continue to exist for different kinds of players to have their preferred option.

+20 years ago we had just a few similar "fruit" slots and video poker, at least in my city, and not-so-fancy casinos I use to hang out. With time the choice of available slots was bigger, but except for trying some slots here and there, I didn't play them much. Only with crypto, I discovered online gambling and some awesome providers, and even more awesome slots with crazy bonus rounds. Since that time I didn't step a foot in land-based casino and who knows if I ever will... I simply enjoy online gambling, no hassle with going out, at home I have some peace and quiet, and drinks are cheaper!

I knew that land-based slots have lower RTP, but I never saw the actual numbers... thanks for sharing, another good reason why playing slots is better online.

[swogerino]

On land based casinos the RTP can be changed manually as I have seen this first hand when some guy used to come at night and changing the RTP of the machinery back in the distant year of 2002,it was some sort of fruit machine that people were easily addicted to it because of the beautiful fruits there and because there was not much else then.

Now that we have online casinos we have lower RTP,at least that is what being advertised by the slot publisher and we have to believe them as we have no way of verifying their truth but compared to land based ones we have huge selection in online slots and of course the RTP is much better here.

[goldkingcoiner]

Not only do the land based slots cost a lot of money to maintain but those costs are obviously going to affect the RTP. Casinos are not going to accept paying for the costs out of their own profits.

Obviously the casino is going to use misleading marketing tactics to make both kinds of slots to seem amazingly profitable but that is to be expected. So, I would rather expect the unexpected: When comparing the land based slots and the online one's RTP, I am certain that both are regulated and controlled heavily to ensure fairness but the offline, physical ones are easier to manipulate, I think. You can call me paranoid but I would rather trust slots which are coded and the code can be checked at any time to ensure the fairness and security.

You cannot take apart the physical ones to make sure there is no tampering to the RTP, just for a check-up.

Slots would be slots no matter what setting or platform you place it. Comparison on which platform would be more addictive is no need to debate. The only thing which would seprate player is convenience in terms of general accessibility of the platform. If you don't have the energy to go to land based casinos for sure you'd be eyeing to online platforms not to mention bigger bonuses with online gambling. While playing on land based casino would give you more entertainment. Both are addictive if I would be asked. Both platforms would as well generate profit if you are lucky at that moment you are playing. RTP on the other hand is a variable players has no control with. RTP would vary not on the game or platform but to the gambling provider.

[Oshosondy]

Do not make it sound like online casinos are easy to set up. They are not easy too. There are still many expenses that online casinos pay for too. They still use electricity for their servers, and also for the games they are offering. They also pay workers too. But just that online casinos see more traffic than land based casinos.

It is true that online casinos are for those that are unable to visit land base casino, maybe because of work or other reasons. But in today's world, land based casinos are shrinking while online casinos are increasing. Many people are becoming to prefer staying where they are to just gamble instead of visiting land based casinos. Although I understand what you are saying, it is fun to bet on land based casinos than online casinos.

This is a great thread  I must say but I really don't think there is any need trying to compare this both since they both have their specific roles and targets just as you already spelt out.

The younger generation are usually attracted to online casinos because they are conversant with the internet. Online casinos are also great because it is mobile, hence you can gamble anywhere. Online casino services are also twenty-four hours making them very attractive. Setting up a standard online casino is not cheap because the best technological tools are expensive.

Land casinos are mainly patronized by the older generation because most of them are used to the casino and some have refused to embrace change. Land casinos offer physical assistance to the older generation so they like playing offline, unlike online casinos, which have online customer care service that is manned by untrained personnel or even bots. Land casinos could also serve as an avenue for socialization. One can meet friends and acquaintances in land casinos and have a good time with them. if you want to hear the best sports or gambling analysts and forecasters go to a land casino.

[o48o]

In Finland we have pretty low cap in jackpots on those. I think that biggest jackpot in land base slots i've seen is €500. Goverment has the monopoly on those and winnings are used for funding several non-profit organizations etc. Also all gambling in here includes kyc these days, so i think many of you would find that odd.

But i would most likely get hooked if i saw insanely big jackpots on slots machines. I saw couple of those while travelling, but obviously didn't win anything from them.

[CryptSafe]

OP, each of the casino options are unique in their own ways as I would not say anything against them. The both are fun and pleasurable to those who understands. I personally am very much comfortable with online casino because if the comfort I get and my identity unknown to anybody. I cherish my privacy so I do not think it is necessary for me to go live land  casino for gambling exercise when I have everything at my comfort zone which saves me the stress of jumping about from on sport to another.

From your conclusion, you said online casino does not cost a lot. Where did you hear that from? Who told you that? Do you know that most of those online casino spend heavily just to get their casino a good promotinal campaign ? How long have you heard or seen land casino doing promotinal campaign of that nature? Do your research properly on financial cost involved in establishment of both casinos then you would know what it takes.

[Cling18]

Since most of us are busy with our everyday lives these days, we choose comfort and convenience, which is why the majority of us now prefer online slots to traditional or physical slots. It saves time because we don't have to drive too far to get to the casino. We can quickly and easily navigate to the casino website of our choice and make a wagering selection. I don't believe that the proportion of land-based slot players is bigger than that of online slot players, but there are still those who prefer to play and enjoy physical casinos because of the experience and they may do so out of comfort. Since there have already been a lot of crimes linked to actual gambling, I believe it is safer to gamble online from the comfort of our homes.

[348Judah]

Conclusion: Land based slot is only good to play if you only want to become entertained since their RTP and max payout is ridiculous.

Gambling in general is entertaining and it depends on the preference to the choice of game we preferred that makes us have fun while playing them, both the land and online slot games have their advantage and disadvantages, the online slot cwn also gives a surprising payout unexpectedly

Online slot on the other hand offers high return since they have lesser operating cost and high payout is there main attraction.

To me i would rather believe that the online slots have more higher operational cost than the land base slot operators, cyber maintenance could be more expensive than we thought because if the security measures is well taken care of, it may lead to an attack on their website.

That is just true, but it goes beyond advertisements, there are other things casinos are spending money on, but if the casino have many customers, it will not be a problem, because they will earn from gamblers which will be used to pay their workers and also pay for electricity too to run their services. If anyone says online casinos are not spending like those land casinos, it is because the person do not know how hard and how much to spend before becoming a reputable online casino, including the cost on the continuing functionality of the casino. There is also server that online casinos needs to keep running which is costly.

[uneng]

Also, not every land based casinos have transparent slot-machines. It's just not possible to know accurately their RTP percentage. You have to trust the house and hope they are being fair to you. The only pros I can see on such machines is the excitement it guarantees to the gambler through shining colors, lights, eccentric design and catchy sounds. That is indeed an unique experience you aren't going to have when playing at online casinos.

But i would most likely get hooked if i saw insanely big jackpots on slots machines. I saw couple of those while travelling, but obviously didn't win anything from them.

I know a few guys who used to be addicted to these machines. I don't know what it was, maybe the sound of coins being thrown out by the machine, or the fact that you could buy beer at these joints so they were all sitting there drinking, smoking and pushing buttons for hours. They looked like zombies afterwards and usually had weeks of losing streaks and then 1 win that would make them come back on their feet and there was another week of losing. They never made it out with any significant win, like 2-3x of what they lost. The machines always kept them on edge, so not very deep in debt, but just a little to make them keep playing and drinking there.

The RTP is probably why these slot joints are slowly disappearing. Nowadays you can only find drunk and/or poor guys playing there. The rest plays online.

[Kemarit]

In my experience land base casino's though, I don't know, but I will say that I'm more lucky in playing slots as compare to online specially crypto base casinos. Probably it's the environment in land base that push me to at least be positive and bet more as compare to my playing time in online casinos.

I'm not saying it's bad, it's that the numbers on me on online is pretty bad.

Let's say I put $100 in a land base games and play that one, chances are I might hit a good returns. But so far in crypto base? nah, I have string of bad luck that it's hard to recover and bounce back. So I usually go out and travel with my friends to just play slots and limit my crypto based experience (expect for sports betting).

[lionheart78]

There had been lots of articles about the differences between RTP land-based slots and online casino slots.  These articles agreed that land-based slots had a lesser RTP than the online casino.  Though it is somehow hard to obtain the RTP of the land-based slots, but if we are eager we can get the data on the state gaming reports.  It requires a lot of effort in finding the RTP of a landbased casino while it is so easy when it comes to Online gambling casinos.  We can't just email the land based casino staff and asked for the RTP of a certain slot because more often than not, they will answer that they don't have the information.

Many articles also discourage players to play in a land-based casino if they wanted to have a higher RTP.  But if you wanted to feel the atmosphere of a casino, going to a land-based casino is way better than an online casino.  This is one of the advantages of a land-based casino. 

Agre, the RTP are f*ck us on Landbase.

I believe around 60-70%, Imagine on there people are easily spent 10-100$/spin and guess what "Jackpot" triggered by only 3,000$ ~LOL I always funny to see landbase slot, the attendance need to give him the money only 3,000$ with 50-100$/spin.

Slot in Landbase should be avoided ~XD

We can justify if the assumption is true by asking or getting the state gaming reports.

Rather than making generalizations about coin sizes, you can always check out state gaming reports. These reports show the average payout percentages (or house edges) for each coin denomination within a given state’s casinos.

For example, you might look at a Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC) release and see that dollar slot machines are offering 94.79% RTP on average.

Interestingly enough, the NGC reports specific payout information for Megabucks. This IGT product is the most popular slot in all the popular Las Vegas casinos and warrants more detailed info.

Also, not every land based casinos have transparent slot-machines. It's just not possible to know accurately their RTP percentage. You have to trust the house and hope they are being fair to you. The only pros I can see on such machines is the excitement it guarantees to the gambler through shining colors, lights, eccentric design and catchy sounds. That is indeed an unique experience you aren't going to have when playing at online casinos.

As I stated earlier there is a way to know the RTP percentage of land-base slots but it would be troublesome because we need to get it from the state report.

[Mate2237]

They are of different interest. Landbase slot games are much more interesting than online base slot games. The only different I can tell is their time or period of visiting. Online slot games can be visited one click from your mobile phones or laptops but landbase slot games can not be easy visit because there are some that one has to treck for a very far distance to play the games.
Finally slot games both online and offline are all the same. Because numbers are not set for you the play to win but for the system to win highest. Slot game is difficult to win big.but you can win small and not big.

[Broadanbig]

All through I have only had the experience of online casino. Some times it's a happy moment and sometimes it is just like that. I think I would try the land casino and see how it goes but one of the major things scaring me away from land casino is privacy which I do much cherish most but however, I will still give it a try first.

I think both casinos spend heavily to go by but online casino likely spends more than the other looking at the features in comparison. I have no doubt about that.

Physical casinos is not that transparent when it comes to RTP percentage and yes playing slot machines is not that rewarding but of course it is more entertaining if you play on physical casinos. Increasing your chance of winning are more possible online, this is also why many are shifting already from physical casinos to online casinos, plus it is now more convenient to gamble online.

If you’re looking for more entertaining gambling experience then playing on land based casinos are more advisable, but if you’re into profit then I agree that playing online can increase your chance of winning. If you notice, casinos online are more active on their promotions and bonuses, that’s why many goes online since the pandemic started. This is a big challenge to land based casinos to inform the public about their fairness but I guess they will not do this, or else they will lose more as many will leave that casinos for being not fair with their machines.

[famososMuertos]

If you compare it with the RTP there is no discussion, win online.  But the point is that a large majority of players have no idea what an RTP is and in the same way they are entertained by playing online or anywhere, in fact I have seen people playing on their cell phones while playing in person.

In reality, it is very relative. Traditional casinos are an option and have their loyal audience. In fact, I think that physical casino players are more consistent. Yes, there are more online users, but that does not mean that they are frequent, so face-to-face is a routine like going to the gym.

^Still they are the same for me, online slots can offer a wider range of themes, pay lines, and bonus features than land-based slots, and may also offer higher payout percentages (RTPs) and progressive jackpots. Players can access online slots from anywhere with an internet connection, making them a convenient option for those who prefer to play from home.
The basic gameplay of land-based and online slots are similar, but there are some key differences in terms of their physicality, availability, and features. However, the choice between land-based and online slots will depend on each player's personal preferences and priorities.

[Mr.right85]

Gamblers have different course to play with either a landbase casino with some physical location or to focus there gambling online. I think the chief of them all is how to prove that, they ate being served a provable fair game. No one wants to gamble at a table or screen where the odds are 51% against you. Nope, you want things 50:50 and that's how it's should be.
This becomes the issue for most between Landbase and Online casinos and matter the theories put in place to give gamblers comfort and earn trust, there obviously would be some doubt on what is being sold to them.

Be it as it may,
Am more comfortable with online gambling as it really do give me comfort, you can switch games with ease, fund and make withdrawals with ease and you do that without having to care about nothing else in your immediate environment.

[harizen]

People should stop hitting the land based casino if there main purpose is hitting a jackpot because it’s really not worth it. Land base slot has a low jackpot prize and you need to bet high amount in able to have a chance to get it while online slot can give you the chance to hit that kind of jackpot with lower bet amount.

From what I see, "generally", the majority of gamblers are not really focusing too much on anything about the slots RTP and don't bother to know the difference in winning rate playing slots at physical casinos or online gambling platforms. They will just play either on land-based casinos or online gambling sites with only "hoping for luck" as their primary equipment.

The reason is, as long as they are seeing a bettor that wins big on slots, either playing land-based or online, that will give them a boost to play more as they are inspired and want that winning to also happen to them.  Another reason for some gamblers to ignore anything about RTP is, once they won big on that said slot, they just want to feel that winning experience over and over again.

Personally, I admit I don't really care about that RTP-related thing on slots not unless the given RTP was really beyond unusual. And for considering playing slot machines at physical casinos, just for a change and not that I will seriously put an effort to hope for a jackpot win.

people have their own preferences. whatever it is, just take advantage of what they offer to you. some are still into land-based casinos playing slots as the experience is quite different over online casinos. however, if you want to play at the comfort of your home without no one bothering you, you can very well play on your laptop or desktop. at the end, it is all a matter of preference here.
but do remember, some of these traditional gamblers still stick to physical casinos as they are used to it. so these land-based casinos will still have their loyal patrons. most younger gen may prefer the online casinos for so many reasons.

They will just play either on land-based casinos or online gambling sites with only "hoping for luck" as their primary equipment.

I agree aside from that players decide which one to play according to their personality.  Introverts prefer online casino where they can play to their content without being disturbed by other people while extroverts like going out with friends and enjoy the company of other people so they prefer land-based casions.  The RTP reward is negligible for both people since they can do what they prefer to do.

The reason is, as long as they are seeing a bettor that wins big on slots, either playing land-based or online, that will give them a boost to play more as they are inspired and want that winning to also happen to them.  Another reason for some gamblers to ignore anything about RTP is, once they won big on that said slot, they just want to feel that winning experience over and over again.

True, other experience often influence other peoples decision.  So when a hot news came that a guy won huge amount on "this"  establishment, gamblers will try to play on that establishment wishing that luck will smile on them replicating the winnings experienced by others.

Personally, I admit I don't really care about that RTP-related thing on slots not unless the given RTP was really beyond unusual. And for considering playing slot machines at physical casinos, just for a change and not that I will seriously put an effort to hope for a jackpot win.

I am more on the volatility of slots than the RTP.  I always avoid slots with extreme volatility because I wanted to experience a slot that often gives a win no matter how huge or small the winnings is.

[dothebeats]

Any land-based casinos aren't really known to be generous when it comes to RTP. They'd screw you ten times over and you will not have a word on what they are running on their casino. In slots, what I would suggest is that you watch people play first, ensure they haven't won anything substantial, and immediately fill their spot and play where they left off. IIRC, whatever they lost on that machine will carry forward to the next user until the win threshold is hit, and those are the machines you want to be on. It takes a lot of patience though, but it is worth it, especially if you hit the jackpot off of those machines.

[Hispo]

I would stick to online slots, why? Besides the reasons you mentioned there is also the fact that thanks to online casinos and gambling, people now can experiment all kind of slots, an infinite number of designs, providers, configurations, colors and themes.

It does not matter how big a physical casino can be, they cannot compete with the variety of slots online, it is ideal for those who are seeking to know what kind of slots are they into.

On the other hand, at your nearest casino you would need to adapt to the handful of options they offer.

I understand that people have different preferences in terms of gambling, while others prefer physical or IRL slots, there are some like me who doesn't have access on physical slots near me. I remembered back then there was one that was acknowledge by our local government, but at that time I was still underage and my parents wouldn't let me play due to the fact that it was still gambling and they're afraid that I'll be addicted and would skip my studies due to that. When I reached the certain age where I'm already considered legal, it was no longer there and was removed by the authorities, so it's safe to say that I haven't touched slots in my whole life although I had fun watching those people who played those machines way back years ago. Right now though, it's a different story since there have been lots of slots online popping out everywhere and I got the chance to play from time to time.

All through I have only had the experience of online casino. Some times it's a happy moment and sometimes it is just like that. I think I would try the land casino and see how it goes but one of the major things scaring me away from land casino is privacy which I do much cherish most but however, I will still give it a try first.

Privacy that no one knows that you are gambling? Is there anything bad to gamble publicly? If I gambling on an land based casinos, that does not mean my privacy is compromised as long that I am using just the little I have to gamble. But I understand you though, with online casino, no one knows that you are gambling, but the KYC that many gamblers overlook alone breach privacy.

I think both casinos spend heavily to go by but online casino likely spends more than the other looking at the features in comparison. I have no doubt about that.

Online casinos sees more traffic and they spend more in my opinion. Also online casinos gain more though and no congestion online.

[Pmalek]

Based on other user experience, Other casino put a 99% RTP sign on one of the machine to mislead players that all slots have same RTP while in reality its only that single slot have high RTP in the row and the rest has low RTP.

Technically, it's a trick that land-based casinos use and they aren't lying. The trick is saying "play on our slot machines with RTP rates of up to 99%." They don't claim all machines have RTP returns of 99%, just that some or one of them has. It's not lying, it's playing a game with words that many players overlook. They only see the 99% statement and miserably fail to read the important words that precede it.

I haven't spent too much time in physical casinos, but I doubt they would point to the exact machine that has the highest RTPs. That's simply not good business, as players would be rushing to play on it. Ultimately, it would cause somewhat more frequent payouts.

[Kakmakr]

The real question is this :

How do you determine if the RTP being used by 3rd party Slot providers and original games.... are what is shown by the online casino? This is not validated by any regulatory organization.

The RTP and the RNG and the server seed are audited by authorities with oversight on the operations of brick n mortar casinos. (land based) ..so you know the configuration of the slots are what is advertised. (It is written to a CHIP and it is logged by the machines)

So do not believe that the configuration of the online slots are what it is supposed to be.... because it takes 1 000 000+ bets to test it.

Conclusion: Land based slot is only good to play if you only want to become entertained since their RTP and max payout is ridiculous. Online slot on the other hand offers high return since they have lesser operating cost and high payout is there main attraction. People should stop hitting the land based casino if there main purpose is hitting a jackpot because it’s really not worth it. Land base slot has a low jackpot prize and you need to bet high amount in able to have a chance to get it while online slot can give you the chance to hit that kind of jackpot with lower bet amount.

I think all slots, online and land based ones, should only be used for entertainment purposes. Even though the RTP of online slots is more favourable for us gamblers, hitting the jackpot remains very unlikely, and we shouldn't count on it, we shouldn't think "I have more chances here, so I'll play here." Play wherever you like, where it's more entertaining for you, and it can be land based slots for some people, although I personally prefer online slots.

Overall, great observation, @Coin_trader. +1

In this part of the world where I came from gamblers are not really given or accorded some level of respect based on the gmfact that they gamble. They are seen as irresponsible and careless onec it is noticed it seen that you are coming out from a gambling joint notbti talk of the fact that you are  noted to be a gambler.
I am not trying to say that gambling is bad but I am only trying to let you know what it is here hence my restrictions on land gambling.

I also have no doubt about the online casinos spending much because I know for sure they would have huge traffic so to avoid interruption, they would need to get the best of gadgets and facilities to sustain them.
We should also note that they make high returns as well but but the irregularities as regards to account banning and suspension is getting out of hand.

There had been lots of articles about the differences between RTP land-based slots and online casino slots.  These articles agreed that land-based slots had a lesser RTP than the online casino.  Though it is somehow hard to obtain the RTP of the land-based slots, but if we are eager we can get the data on the state gaming reports.  It requires a lot of effort in finding the RTP of a landbased casino while it is so easy when it comes to Online gambling casinos.  We can't just email the land based casino staff and asked for the RTP of a certain slot because more often than not, they will answer that they don't have the information.

Many articles also discourage players to play in a land-based casino if they wanted to have a higher RTP.  But if you wanted to feel the atmosphere of a casino, going to a land-based casino is way better than an online casino.  This is one of the advantages of a land-based casino. 

Why not ask directly the owner or the staffs of that casino? If it's possible for online casino to provide these data's then why not them? But they can also lie if they want to, and say that their games has a high RTP when the truth is it only have less because we active gamblers have a good senses when it comes to these matters.

For the casino owners who say that they don't have the info, how come? I think they will check their games first before they deploy it in public because what if the games have a higher RTP than usual? It will only make them lose easily. They will always ask their developer about it or their devs are the ones who will said it first to them. Land based casino might have a better ambiance but there are still other things that needs to be sacrifice other than RTP.

^ Probably they understand that their reputation and profitability depend on the fairness and integrity of their games. So I think they keep updating their developer and try to be transparent to the public. Developers were responsible for this RTP and to ensure the accuracy of an online casino's RTP is to compare it with the RTP published by the game's developer. Most reputable game developers will publish the RTP for their games on their websites, so players can compare the two numbers to see if they match. We can also look for licensed and regulated casinos, and compare the displayed RTP with the developer's published RTP.

I can agree with what you have said about hitting Jackpot in Land Based Slot and online slots, but we need to add that this is the situation in recent time, and it has had to be so because of how much things have changed.

What I mean is this, before Online slots, people have won jackpots playing in Land based slots, and considering that the operational cost was not always as high as it is presently, we can assume that they offered better Jackpots.

Online slots also have had to increase its jackpot significantly higher than the Land based slots as a business strategy to gian attention from gamblers, it is also normal to reason that these jackpots may be reduced with time.

I like your statement budy, and totally agree that land and online slots are only good for entertainment purposes because this type of game relies on luck to win.
RTP might be able to help gamblers to get back some of the money used to play but with a high RTP it doesn't necessarily guarantee getting the jackpot because the jackpot is very difficult to get even those gamblers who are reliable in gane slots can't necessarily get the jackpot every time .

You are a gambler who has quite a lot of experience and I also want to be like you where you can have unlimited insight and experience in the gambling industry.

I may not really agree with this because there's no way we can compare an online games with the physical ones and talking about slot game in general, i believe those that have been interested in this kind of game where the casino house freak gamblers who had enough experience in gambling over years unlike our own era of young generation just learning about gambling, both land or online base slot were equally interesting to play.

Each has it own challenges but i wouldn't want to believe that one is better than other since we all can have our different opinions i selection while the slot had to consider their own profitability.

It's nothing new if most gamblers playing in land based casino is for fun, while most gamblers playing in online casino is for making money.

Although in online casino is better than land based casino regarding it's odds or RTP, but the house is still has higher chance to win. Due to private, active 24/7 and easier to access, many gamblers are more addicted in online casino rather than land based casino.

I agree with your statement.

According to my experience, when a person plays slots physically, they are there in the casino to experience the whole package (e.g. amenities, food, entertainment, environment, etc.) and all the complementaries being offered. When I tried doing slots in a physical casino, I enjoyed my time even if I was not able to win since the whole experience and ambience of the casino were great.

Compared to online slots, this kind of game involves you pressing and mashing your phone, hoping for a win. I remembered I watched my uncle playing online slots and he was playing for a win. He kept on borrowing money almost every week just to satisfy his thirst in winning in online slots.

[wiss19]

Apart from all the technical stuff, RTP, odds, etc., it depends on one's personal preferences and timetable about how they want to gamble, those who have enough spare time and love land-based casinos will probably prefer that, and those who like playing games and want more varieties will surely go for online slots since there are a lot of games available.

Personally, I think it's more convenient playing online since there is basically no hassle and you also get higher multipliers if you are lucky. As said by everyone, it's way more difficult to get any big wins when you are playing slots in a land-based casino.

What did you mean? You mean that gambling is not seen as something good in your area? Or that because gambling is not seen as something good in your area, people are not gambling on land based casinos and they will prefer to gamble online?

If it is the second that you meant, because something is not legal does not mean there are no shaddy places that something like that is not done in that country. Also in online casinos, if you read their terms of service, many countries or regions are not allowed to gamble too. But there are ways gamblers still try to gamble, though their money is more at risk.

We are more comfortable playing at online casinos because we have found something that can protect our identity or show the public that we are gamblers. Besides that, we play gambling using crypto, which means we don't want anyone to know that we are gambling.

But for the RTP problem, I don't think it's too affected because if it's a slot game where it really depends on luck, we won't be able to win easily. We will surely face many defeats that can bankrupt us if we are not aware of it.

[Peanutswar]

Even though a higher RTP seems like this is a personal preference, people today are still in the quarantine environment, so one of their choices to get satisfied is through online gambling without getting less hassle and more convenience than just making a deposit. They can play immediately; physical gambling gives a different ambience in gambling casinos. Still, of course, people could enjoy this if there are a lot of players and competitors with additional perks such as the RTP, both are expensive, but based on my experience, it's more costly with the physical casino because you need a ton of employee unlike with the online hire a developer team to maintain and manage.

[harizen]

For the casino owners who say that they don't have the info, how come?

Almost all online casinos, whether fiat or crypto, use third-party game providers.

Casino owners don't have access to those games "technically".

I think they will check their games first before they deploy it in public because what if the games have a higher RTP than usual? It will only make them lose easily.

It doesn't mean that the provided RTP is high, the winning chance is great. That's not how RTP works. Even for a 95% RTP, the chances of losing are more to happen compared to winning. High RTP sometimes misleads online gamblers into thinking the return will be great.

If that's the case, RTP won't be invented in the first place and used as an attraction to gamblers.

Land based casino might have a better ambiance but there are still other things that needs to be sacrifice other than RTP.

From the very first place, there's no need to compare Land-Based Casinos and Online Casinos in terms of their respective general characteristics e.g ambiance, comfortability, convenience, environment, etc. Comparing the technical side should be more appropriate.

Forget about the technical sectors, complex sites requires equivalent working energy and experience. Land-based casinos are mostly for high-stakes players who want to make an enormous amount of money. Gambling has a variety of possibilities and motivations. Casino players devised strategies to increase their income from online casinos. I prefer to bet online because it is simple to understand and place bets. It's incredibly reasonable and simple to put bets there, and there's a good selection of online casinos with reasonable odds.
