What is the Difference Between Plying Gambling on Online Sites and Real Casinos?

[Wexnident]

In my country there are no casinos operating because it is an illegal activity. However, many online gambling sites operate and have many users from our country. So, even though I often play on online gambling sites, I have absolutely no experience playing gambling in real casinos. I often watch YouTube about gambling in real casinos, especially about slot machines. I noticed that in real casinos, slot games do not have a buy free spins feature

Do you have experience playing at real casinos and online gambling sites? Is there a difference playing there? I want to know.

It's more on the atmosphere, and the experience that makes the difference between playing online and brick-and-mortar casinos. The former introduces the major idea of convenience when gambling, having no need to mind about the time, place (physical location), and stuff like that. The latter on the other hand, introduces the idea of socialization, plus the atmosphere the casino has (whether it's a good or bad thing is up to personal opinion really).

As for the free spins thing, I don't think brick and mortar casinos, as you've said, offer free spins and the like though. It may just come as a VIP benefit for some games specifically though. I don't think there's a casino in the first place that has an online and offline version, so VIP benefits clashing probably wouldn't be an issue.

Well, the difference is clear, online gambling is like gambling on your own time. You can gamble online while you are traveling, but not when you are the one driving. It is said that gambling is for fun, so if you are traveling and you are very bored and need to keep yourself busy a little bit, you can try gambling online and it either makes you happier or it makes you sadder.

Online gambling is safer than offline gambling because, in online gambling, no body will abuse you and there will be no signs of altercation. You can gamble for the whole 24 hours without any interaction, but you can easily lose all your assets in an online casino.

In an offline gambling center there are a lot of temptations. Even the owner of the gaming center is not safe, because people are losing their money and they are not happy about it, so if the cashier in the gaming center mistakenly acts strangely, the gamblers will put the whole aggression on the cashier. That's why it is not safe for a woman to be a casher in a gaming center, and lastly, you can easily make friends and enemies in gambling centers.

There is a difference.

From personal experience, when you play online, you are just in a room alone. But when you play in a physical casino, there are people around doing different things, playing different games. The difference between the two is that one is in a controlled environment. From the comfort of your living room, you could control the light, the sound, your position, and many other things but you cannot do so in a physical casino.

Another major difference for me is that with online casino, you can easily contact their customer support and carry on the conversation through the next day without having to worry about moving out your apartment and travelling in traffic to resolve an issue. This is not so with the physical casinos.

It's probably just about the experience. I won't compare it solely based on convenience, as some may argue that gambling online is very convenient, but there are people who find convenience in gambling at a land-based casino. It ultimately comes down to our preferences, but in terms of the audience, it's clear that online casinos have a larger one.

Gambling is legal in my country, but I haven’t visited any casino houses to gamble before. I always prefer to gamble online because I just like leaving my life private and am not really the type that likes crowds, so I would rather gamble online than visit a casino house. Lots of people have discussed with me how fun it is to gamble at a casino house, and some do claim that gambling online is always kind of boring to them, but when they gamble at a casino, that’s when they are always entertained. But I still prefer gambling online, and I still get the same entertainment that I believe I will get whenever I visit a casino house.

Of course there's the obvious stuff like playing in more interactive settings and scenarios when it comes to gambling in brick and mortar casinos while with online variants, you don't get to immerse yourself as much. There's also the limited access to games since you're pretty much only able to play with games that the casino offers, with online gambling you can choose from different casinos for games and if you don't find a game you're looking for in a particular site, you can just move to a different online casino, you can't really do the same thing when playing in a real-life casino.

I also noticed that house cuts are also particularly higher with brick and mortar casinos, probably because the costs of upkeep are high when you're literally taking building, rent, and possibly other business costs into account.

For one, the presence or absence or real life humans is distinguishable.
Secondly, you get to play for more hours and at any time, with any amount you got online, as opposed to gambling in a real live casino.
You can as well play under any influence once online as compared to being under the influence of alcohol or drugs in a live casino, which could make one be tossed out or disregarded as a stupid irresponsible adult.

This is one of the best contrast someone has placed in here. At home, I sometimes drink and get wasted then hit the dice until I drain my account of any money. Obviously not a wise thing to do but hey, I make sure that I don't leave more than $20 on my account/s at any given time. It's confusing to gamble while drunk and stoned, but it removes all emotions that could possibly affect your decision making e.g. impulses to max bet after a loss - at least in my experience.

Then perhaps if you have some time you should try to take a vacation in another country that offers a legal physical casino. I mean, just to add to your experience if you do make time to relieve the stress.
It's fun being at a physical casino because of the ambiance, but I tell you, you will need loads of money if you try playing their games and then also enjoy some of their food and beverages.
About the playing system, I don't think they are the same. The games are slower than how we do it on online gambling sites because we are just playing against the system and there are a variety of games that you will enjoy more playing with other people than doing it alone at your home.
You should really try it even once, just to try and compare them because you might be the only one who could answer those questions perfectly. It's not easy to compare them with just words.

In my country we doesn't have a place where we can play casino gambling in physical center what we play or bet physically is soccer bet and it have different gambling name and center where you can go and stake your game without be bothered to anything but casino gambling its difficult you can see the center in any place and I believe that the center that we lack is what makes in my country we like online gambling more physical gambling that center because you can be at your home and gamble without any one knowing that  you have some stakes in another gambling platform

Well, hopefully OP will have the chance to visit a casino someday, it sounds like something which he may need to plan to do in long term, though, having vacations abroad is not something everyone can afford and even less if we are talking about a gambling vacation.

I would also recommend OP to research casinos in the country he would be interested to visit, he does not need to gamble a lot to enjoy a casino floor, even if I was in a budget I would go for the big fancy casinos to check out their restaurants, pools and rooms and left a small percentage of my money to gamble. I say that based on the principle we are supposed to consider gambling money to be lost, and I would not intend to lose much of my vacation money in a single night.

The difference is the level of Entertainment!!!

I live in Brazil and casinos are also prohibited in my country, but I have had the opportunity to go play in casinos in Argentina from time to time.

Maybe it's just because I'm not used to playing in physical casinos regularly, especially because there is a "physical barrier" to this in my case, but the biggest difference I noticed is certainly the level of entertainment... playing in person at a slot machine or at a black-jack table is something incomparable to a computer or cell phone screen.

However, in physical casinos I would not have the courage to bet as much money as on a reliable online site.

I have no experience playing on physical casinos but I had the chance to go there before, with a friend and he's the one playing. The experience is different compared to playing online since in physical casino there are many people around and you'll kinda feel the real pressure and excitement.

While if you're playing online, you can focus because often we prefer to be alone. It's still exciting especially if we're in winning streak but, still, it is different if you gamble on physical casinos because you can encounter many gamblers losing and winning on their chosen games to play. Even you're just watching them, you'll feel attached.

In my experience biggest difference is what they serve to you. In physical casinos they keep giving free food and drinks to you to make you keep on gambling. Atmosphere is so good your mood gets better. Especially lights and sound effects. Online casinos generally give you extras too but physical ones are sometimes better at it. But I still love how its comfortable to gamble at home at online casino. You miss some extras but in general its perfect experience.

I seem to understand which country you come from and I'm not really sure if my answer has been answered by other people. certainly in the past in your country there was a slot machine gambling game called "DingDong" and I think some people from your country know about it. this slot machine, but if you didn't know about this beforehand, that's natural because this slot machine no longer exists and is considered to violate the legal regulations that have been determined. this DingDong slot game has been around since 1980 and the last time I played this slot machine was when I was still at school around 1998 and after that many authorities confiscated the machine because the law had been passed.

and for other casino games like poker, baccarat, blackjack there is no big place only ever have the experience of betting with a group of people in a certain place. and what I often played in the past was only roulette games which were usually found in entertainment venues or on the side of the road.
but that is all gone because as you said gambling is considered illegal.

Indeed, the experience of gambling in offline gambling provides a very interesting experience, but unfortunately in some countries gambling is considered illegal and you can only gamble through online gambling.

Is it more thrilling and adrenaline-pumping in a real casino? It's interesting to be able to play directly at the casino. I really want to try it, maybe inviting some friends would be more interesting and could be really fun

However, in physical casinos I would not have the courage to bet as much money as on a reliable online site.

Why don't you dare to risk a lot of money in a real casino? even though they say it is safer there and there are no casinos that don't pay players' winnings. Is it harder to win at a real casino than at an online casino?

Yes, I've heard of dingdong, but I've never played it. Maybe when the game was popular I was still small or maybe the game wasn't available where I was

Everything free will certainly be very enjoyable for gamblers focused on gambling. This can make them continue gambling and lose track of time. It is a strategy issued by casinos to see that many gamblers continue to gamble and do not take a break. But of course, it will be different from what people get when they gamble at online casinos because maybe they also get the comfort of gambling at home. Gamblers also pay attention to the issue of comfort in gambling and so far, they already know which ones they can choose for gambling. And they can also play at online and offline casinos to get more experience than others.

Another major difference for me is that with online casino, you can easily contact their customer support and carry on the conversation through the next day without having to worry about moving out your apartment and travelling in traffic to resolve an issue. This is not so with the physical casinos. 

When we are considering the way the customer service respond to our request, I can't say one of the two is more preferable to another because they both have their own challenges both in physical and online, using a physical casino for gambling will give you direct access to their agents and they can serve you better, in using an online casino, their customer service may not be prompt in responding to your request, some will assign you a robot to respond to you, if you're using a physical casino, make sure you're choosing the one closer to you whereby you can quickly lodge your complaints.

A real casino is a physical casino where a gambler gambles from the presence of the broker's house. And online casinos can be played from the comfort of your home only through a smartphone or computer. This is the biggest difference between real casino and online casino. another difference is that real casinos have to be played with cash money but online casinos can be played through bank, mobile banking, crypto money etc. Along with these, there are many other differences between real casinos and online casinos.

The difference is that you don't have guarantees about the games results' legitimacy at physical casinos, because they don't have provably fair system. On the other hand, they have "free" meals and drinks accessible to players who are there. Probably you will also receive a very customized treatment by casinos' employees who are there to please and talk to customers. If you like the environment, it's a good place to socialize with other people, but if you win a big amount be careful if you are playing at clandestine places, because it's not unsual to hear stories about gamblers who were stalked by thieves who were looking for their won prizes...
