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

[Tuturtinular]

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.

Online and offline casinos certainly create different gambling experience. With online, you will have more convenience playing with your favorite games at the comfort of your home or wherever you are. There are more variety of games listed and there are higher number of rewards and promotions that you can receive. However, with offline casinos, what you will gained is definitely an authentic experience. What you see is what you get. Though there are less variety of games compared to online, but the experience is still worthwhile. And if you prefer to mostly engage with physical casinos, the chances to be scam is very rare compared to the scam cases that are so rampant in online.

Gambling is legal in my country. In where I am living, the land based gambling sites that are here are betting agents which are for sport betting. Gambling is legal in my country but land based casinos are located in highly developed cities. That makes land based casinos not to be for everyone for frequent accessing.

Only what that is required for you to access online casinos is just a good device like phone, tablet or computer.

In land based casinos, you will meet people, you will socialize. It might be like you went out to enjoy yourself. But if you want privacy, you may not like it. It is a light inside a dark room that may not let you know fast that time has gone or that it is night already. And you can drink so that you can waste money more on gambling if you are not determined enough to discipline yourself.

Played on a slot machine once while I was out with friends, and from this forum, I have visited a few online casinos and even registered just to see how these websites function. It is a different experience from my little experience because if you think of it from the side of how easily you can get addicted, If you are someone who likes outing and hanging out in casinos or places with games to gamble on, you can beat addiction by avoiding these places, but when it is online, It can become so difficult because of the ease of being able to gamble from anywhere with your smartphone, to stop gambling, it will take a lot of effort, you may even need to stop using a phone that has no internet access for some time.

It seems like a lot of fun to me. But maybe when we invite friends to play at a real casino, maybe the winnings we get will be used up to party with them. And coming home without any money, does something like that happen often? but it's a fun way to relieve the boredom of work. In contrast to playing at online casinos, I always play alone and lament my fate alone if I lose, and that is very bad for my mental health

Yes, I agree with you, playing online gambling is easier to get addicted because deposits are easy. Just use mobile banking and we can immediately start gambling, as you said, it is the ease of playing on online gambling sites that makes gambling addiction difficult to stop.

Is there a difference playing there? I want to know.

Definitely there is a huge difference from playing on site and online.

I think what you'll notice first is the ambiance of the real on site casinos. The sounds are tremendous and they're encouraging to gamble more and well, there's a psychology behind so that you'll be excited and wanting to gamble more.

Your adrenaline is really the target of the ambiance of the on site casinos and that's no doubt why many gamblers are hooked with it. But if you're just like the chill gambler, sitting while being at home is also a gold experience as you gamble.

I have also never experienced playing in an offline casino because at this age I only know about online casino gambling so I can't say what differentiates the two, but in my basic view because in my country offline casinos are prohibited so people can't possibly gamble there. Even though offline casinos are hidden, their existence will still be discovered and then closed, but in online casinos, even though the government prohibits it, everyone can still gamble with a VPN.

I think people nowadays are turning more towards online casinos because as time goes by, offline casinos are not very popular now, especially in today's increasingly modern digital world, I guarantee that because I see a lot of offline casinos nowadays are quiet because most people people are turning to online casinos and they are easier to use just using a cell phone, but besides always remembering whatever the differences between the two, gamble wisely and responsibly so that you don't become addicted.

Physical casinos have lost it popularity since the start of covid-19 varus which hard the world on lock down for several days,  weeks and months,  this have pushed a lot of attention to the online gambling and what has also made this move more popular is the introduction of cryptocurrencies/ blockchain-based gambling which have open the way for more privacy and this have interest a lot of us in the industry.

So for that,  even though gambling is illegal or legal in your jurisdictions you still have the chance to gamble with any test of a physical casino, In my country gambling is not banned but the presence of a of physical casinos is almost zero and that shows how gamblers value privacy in my country.

in online casinos you can carry out your gambling activities while lying down or in the toilet, but in physical casinos you have to be there and chat with other people, of course the experience is different, here some offline casinos sometimes give bonuses to players ^{(day-to-day events certain)} if there is a cigarette or drink sponsor then all players at the offline casino will be given a bonus but with the terms and conditions they apply.

but the thing that i really don't like in offline casinos, we often deal with damn/shit people, they always ask for a little part when we win, ask for our cigarettes and sometimes borrow money, even so you have to be smart to get away from them, well they are all i mention that it is a toxic gamblers type that is always present in every offline casino.

I have never gambled in a land based casino, and gambling in my country is illegal but people will still gamble even though it is illegal by playing it in secret in certain places or in rural areas where it is still quite difficult for the police to get there.
So online casino is my gambling experience even though I have played card games with my relatives and it was just a simple card game that is often played in my country.
I think the taste is definitely different, and people who have access to land-based casinos are very likely to still choose it because they can interact with lots of people and usually also enjoy quite expensive entertainment and vacations, like in Macau or also in Las Vegas and near my country, the famous one is Genting.

Ambience is different if you play on physical or what you real casino since the game set is different and you will be more challenge since there are real people playing on your side or watch the intense gaming session. Compare on online casino where sometimes you find it challenging but also sometimes you get bored since you are the only one playing at your home without interacting someone physically, that's why sometimes I end up sleep once gaming session ends.

Gambling is gambling wether you use the online platforms or the physical casinos to gamble, you're still doing the same thing, however, government do have more access to regulate the physical casinos or gambling centres because they can see them and know their location where they are, this can be in form of shops, casinos, open field or any designated location where gambling takes place, same people having this gambling establishment can also have their online gambling platform as well so that people can have the best taste and satisfaction in using their gambling service, if you're country is against gambling, then you're likely not going to see any physical gambling casino operating, but some people make use of the online one to operate without the acknowledgement of the government.

Yes but very rare Only when invited by friends you should experience playing in a real casino,  The ambiance is very different from online it's a totally new experience, If you're an extrovert you will enjoy the crowd and the free perks like drinks and food, the casino I'm playing is located in a hotel with entertainment function it mostly caters for foreigners.

The first time you go to a casino you will forget to play and give more attention to the surroundings, and people around you maybe after 2 or three more visits you can concentrate on playing.

Also in my country only three big ones operate physically and honestly they are much worse than the online ones,they don't have the buy in feature also here and that is a big minus for most slot providers as when I get bored and I keep getting empty spins without any wins it is normal for me to want to at least try a couple of times the buy free spins,even just to feel the beauty of the bonus game so they are bad compared to online casinos.Not only that but only nostalgic people play there now except Las Vegas and Macau which are huge casino cities,in all other countries and cities playing in physical casinos is just a waste of time as the RTP is also bad in these type of casinos compared to online ones.

from my personal experience, in a real (European) casinos you still find somewhat elite situations.
Casino in fancy/luxury locations, people dressed in an expensive way, games worth at least 50 euros (just the minimum and only at some tables)...
in short, an expensive experience, spending money dressed elegantly, perhaps drinking some alcohol-drink.

there are also "cheap" option, there are "cheap" situations such as betting rooms or slot rooms or bingo.
the level falls too low and no they are not for me.

Not really played but visited only two times and years apart The atmosphere is very different from online casinos I did not get a chance to play I'm more curious about the surroundings.

The casino I've visited is more like an entertainment function because it's located in a first-class hotel, they cater to high society and businessmen the experience is very enjoyable you get to feel that you are part of the high class of society.
But I prefer to play online casinos I cannot concentrate too much noise and you have to dress up when playing in physical casinos, whereas in online casinos you can play even in your pajamas.

Of course mate it is a different feeling when playing online casinos and land-based casinos. Both are real casinos and both have cons and pros. Even before the pandemic I still prefer the crypto-based online casinos because I felt like the house edge on land-based casinos is higher. The ambiance though in a land-based casino is a different feeling. You can hang out with your friends while gambling and having fun. But online casinos are very easy to access, you can maintain your privacy and there is no need to make an effort travelling.

But what matters here is your curiosity OP. Maybe someday you can look for cheaper promo flights to countries near you where gambling is legal. And then experience the vibes and play there yourself.

Really I haven't noticed that,  despite the fact that I haven't visited any physical casino before but I have friends that play on physical casino in my environment and some time we use to talk about football analysis and that make me know that sometimes,  while they prefer visiting the physical casino in the area I prefer to stake whatever beta I want online and also play other in house games through my devices.

But in most cases,  we win almost the same amount since the odds of same and we have a local casino that operates both online and physically and the odds offered are almost the same.

You already know the difference and that is also how they feel when there is no real casino available in their country because of illegal activities or it is prohibited in their country. And it's different because in a real casino, you can meet lots of people, play together, and have various kinds of experiences. You can hold the slot machine for real, while in online casinos, you cannot hold it for real and only see the images spinning.

Apart from that, to play in a real casino, you need to bring money from home to exchange for chips provided by the casino and then you can gamble. Meanwhile, if you gamble at an online casino, you only need to deposit the money through the places designated by each casino.

[....]So, even though I often play on online gambling sites, I have absolutely no experience playing gambling in real casinos.

Be careful with your online gambling activities as your Government seems pretty active in seizing online casinos there https://www.casino.org/news/indonesia-cracks-down-on-online-gambling-arrests-31/

I agree with inthelongrun's suggestion on planning a trip to neighboring countries where land-based casino operations are legal. Make a plan for your vacation in the next two years and save up for at least a week's experience. Malaysia and Philippines are just a couple hours away from where you're from.
