Land Based Casinos in the Digital Age

[tsaroz]

Hey everyone,

As online gambling platforms continue to grow in popularity, I’ve been wondering about the future of traditional, land based casinos. With the convenience and accessibility of online betting, will brick-and-mortar casinos become a thing of the past, or will they evolve to offer experiences that can’t be replicated online?

Do you think they’ll manage to hold their ground, or will we see a shift towards exclusively digital platforms?

Land based casinos are popular too but they are more prone to heavy regulations that makes them not as profitable or easy to operate. I have had a few experience of physical casinos and it's enjoyable even when you are not participating. Some do need you to have some chips to enter while some offer free entrance. The vibe itself makes you stay longer. The reason most of the casinos in my area stopped are due to excessive regulations and high taxing from the government. Online casinos pays much less taxes and their operating cost too are very low. While land based casinos have a lot of staff to pay for and are highly costly in maintaining.

That's true, there are indeed some or maybe all online casinos that provide this method by offering a download to make it easier to do so. Of course, everyone feels bored, whether they are bored because they gamble too often in physical casinos or vice versa. but what is clear is that currently, in my opinion, many people gamble using online casinos because they are easy to access.

Along with the development of the era, online casinos are very popular than land-based casinos because now online casinos have an extraordinary attraction to attract the attention of gamblers, besides easy access, online casinos can also be addictive in playing so quickly, while land-based casinos have a special level of skill that must be possessed by every gambler, land-based casinos also have a strong attraction, but in terms of technical aspects and access, land-based casinos have now almost faded over time.

That's true, I don't even need to look at other countries to see the number of people who gamble online, because just in my environment, almost every family will definitely do it. Apart from that, you can see from social media that many people do their gambling via live streaming, which is probably because they are looking for profits in that way, and there are also many people who see it, with this I think that online casinos are currently very popular among the public, including There are children and old people who do it and even know the slogans that are popular with online casino gambling.

Indeed, with the development of increasingly sophisticated technology, there are many things that can be done using just a cell phone, and with online casino gambling being one of the things that can be done just using a cell phone, it's not surprising that many people are currently doing online casino gambling because it's true that you Say, with easy access, nowadays everyone tends to spend their daily time using cellphones and the internet, obviously this makes it easier for them to get to know and do online casino gambling. with land-based casinos, maybe they are less popular in terms of popularity, but I'm sure land-based casinos are still running.

By concluding your opinion above, it is true that the development of the era has a great influence on people's lives, especially in relation to gambling, in this sophisticated digital era, people can easily access and run it easily and without obstacles, even young people are now good at playing gadgets so that they really support taking advantage of this digital era without guidance from parents, but of course, apart from the sophistication and greatness, there must be weaknesses and concerns. What is meant is that if young people are not supervised firmly and wisely, it will damage the generation of young people in the future.

Online casinos pays much less taxes and their operating cost too are very low. While land based casinos have a lot of staff to pay for and are highly costly in maintaining.

Let me start by saying that online and physical casinos could be mistaken these days if care is not taken. The reason is that some casinos started online before they decided to have their physical presence with playing centres, and due to the numerous franchise arrangements, they litter everywhere, particularly in my country. So this kind of setup has both physical and online presence, and I am sure that the taxation and regulation will be meted the same way on them. This now takes us to pure land-based casinos where you can't play online at all, well, I do not think there will be any difference in regulation and taxation, except for jurisdiction differences.

You may be operating your casino in Cuba and be regulated in Asia. This is why the regulation and taxation may vary, but if the two (Online and pure land-based) are in the same country under the same law, and without some government's privileges and tax holidays, then they will pay proportionately. They will pay based on many metrics that are the same which include their customer base, capacity, income etc. So, this is not about online casinos paying less than the land-based countries but due to the inability of the government to access/control them correctly, especially in developing and less developed countries with lower technology.

Even COVID didn't manage to effect  local gambling shops deeply. Now, in the post COVID era they are continue to flourish. I personally spend 80% of my gambling time in land based casinos, remaining 20% is allocated for online gambling. Physical casinos have plenty of pros for me, like the physical communications with my friends, who are also gamblers, the option to listen to jazz combo, the freedom to walk around various gambling pits, etc..

This is based on your own personal experience. I also enjoy the fun of having a few friends around for gambling, especially when we can easily start having arguments about the opposite team and who has the best player. All those contribute to why physical gambling shops are more fun than online ones. 
 
but for the sake of safety during COVID time, I avoided land-based gambling places because of social distancing, which we can't observe in that place judging how crowded the place I usually make use of is, and some people really don't care about your personal health safety. You might be avoiding body contact with them because they will be pushing themselves further close to you.

Well, obviously, there are gamblers who don't want a physical casino because it's a hassle for them, and others want to gamble even if they're at home, or even if they're there, they can still gamble. Then there are others who appreciate more the one who can touch and see the gambling machine they are playing with.

Now, if you ask me, it's more convenient to gamble online; it avoids accidents, in my opinion; and it can also be seen. Then there is really no hassle.

That's true, but indeed if we think long and look at business where more generations play gambling online it is a sign that physical casinos will be disrupted and it is likely that only a few people will gamble in physical casinos so that business goes in the acceleration of technology, because if only aiming to seek pleasure and get benefits that can certainly be obtained from online gambling which is more flexible, of course these people will really choose online gambling rather than physical gambling, if talking to the orientation of these two factors, because in fact also those who play in physical casinos are mostly young people who have old age today.

What is meant is that if young people are not supervised firmly and wisely, it will damage the generation of young people in the future.

Indeed, there are positives and negatives with the development of this increasingly sophisticated era. However, perhaps the negative influence can still be minimized by not being careless in taking an action or deciding on a step forward, if we can decide on a step forward then everything will be fine, because in the beginning they became addicted or experienced other bad things. That's by starting to be curious and becoming an addiction that can't be stopped, and if they don't have the wrong perception, maybe they won't become addicted, just fulfill their curiosity, unfortunately they are swayed and lulled into gambling to the point where they become addicted to gambling. On the positive side, society can do many things practically, and I think those who have good thoughts will take advantage of this development.

Yes, that's true, even without parental guidance, many children are now so good at using gadgets that they can access anything they want, but unfortunately this can get them into trouble because they can access even bad things without their parents' knowledge. Apart from that, education usually also involves gadgets as one of the methods of their learning process. Even though young people are strictly supervised, I think there is still a chance for them to do something negative, so it is difficult to minimize this if it is not done by themselves.

There has been online gambling with significant volume for a long time now, more than two decades, and it has not broken the physical casinos. If anything, it has made them more popular. In general, young people gamble more from their cell phones, but this has increased the gambling user base, and just as they gamble from their cell phones, at some point they go to a land-based casino.

Even COVID didn't manage to effect  local gambling shops deeply. Now, in the post COVID era they are continue to flourish. I personally spend 80% of my gambling time in land based casinos, remaining 20% is allocated for online gambling.

This is for the social aspect. Land-based casinos outperform online casinos in the social experience, no matter how much online chat there is.

Nowadays, operating a land-based casino is not so easy, because not only do they need to set a strategy to get people to come to them, but they also need to deal with government regulations that tighten their operations. It is true that many people still prefer to play offline, perhaps because the vibe is different, but the development of online casinos is quite high and this forces land-based casinos to not only provide gambling services, but also other entertainment venues such as clubs, hotels, etc. , to be able to increase their appeal and accommodate their visitors. And that's why having a land-based casino can take a lot of money to develop and operate it because many people are involved there.

If starting an online casino is expensive, then we cannot imagine how much it would be to start a moderate-sized brick-and-mortar casino.
It is not only the fact one is at the mercy of government and the regulators which will take a slice of one's profit, it is also the fact one's population of customers is limited to the local area. The most populated the zone, the better. However, the cost of square meter in cities is extremely high. Perhaps that is why we see some many small casinos trying to blossom in this ecosystem dominanted by a few giants and reliable online casinos. For the average person, with a moderate budget, it is impossible to even begin to offer those services and perks which are characteristic of brick and mortar casinos and the ones which end up attracting people, getting out their way to gamble on a physical slot machine.

The development of the era is what drives someone to train and learn to increase their broad insight, especially with the very sophisticated and modern digital era today, we often see that young people are better at accessing information on the internet, even they only need to see or search on an application site so that they are very good at playing the gadgets they have.
Yes, it is true that in terms of aspects like this, special attention is needed from parents to always supervise children's activities while playing gadgets, although slowly and firmly this greatly helps the child's growth to be better, namely not using gadgets in terms of negative things.

I also used to think that starting an online casino is expensive, until someone posted here online casino licenses cost and opening expenses. I can imagine how to find this post today, but it cost <$5k to get a license, and $1-3k for company registration. Add to this cost of equipment (server, programs), cost of employee (support) and start signing contracts with providers. I think $15k is a starting budget of an online casino. For the offline casino, that would be the starting cost of a bar only. Imho offline casino can not operate without a bar. And each slot, table cost additional license. Dozens of employees. However, offline casino earn not only from gambling. Like I’ve said, the bar is also a significant part of casinos profit. Not everyone who goes to casino gamble. Some go there to have fun, watch, drink... That is the difference and benefit of land base casino - it is more flexible and offers more.

Young generation now in the right time when the internet develop better than the few years ago. They can use and accessing many information from the internet to gets what they wants. They are very familiar with their gadgets, better than the old generation so they can gets many things from the internet. They can knows something from the internet better than the other people, including about online casino.

But if we talks about the offline casino, they can use internet to develop their business to reach more customer. They can evolve with something new and with the young generation familiar with the internet, that will helps the offline casino becomes one of the reputable casino. The offline casino that change their business to online casino will becomes bigger because they have many customers from other countries and that can impact to their incomes.

The reason on why there's a lot of young people participating on gambling because this platforms became easy to access since they could just browse them on internet fund their account then here you go they can easily gamble on the games they are familiar. But I also don't think there's difference between old generation since if they are adaptive on the changes on technology side especially on new way of betting then for sure they can easily learn that online casino exist and they can immediately gamble at home.


For offline casino they can adapt since this is important for them to increase their profit. But if someone think about the extinction of this offline business then I guess even if there are online casino the offline one will still stay because there are  lots of people would come to those places since there are people still find more thrill to gamble in offline casino also they can build connections which is helpful to them on that place.

If I ever tried to venture in the world of gambling by opening some establishment, I think start by doing what others do here in my country, and open and small franchise of animal roulette. because it is a franchise which is already established within the country and they do it require much initial investment, it could be a straight forward process.
Though, the disadvantage would be the high competition I would have, because many have had the same idea to introduce themselves in the business.
When comes to online gambling, I don't think I would dare to open an online casino with the small budget I could get. I consider myself to be paranoid enough to be afraid of hackers and cyber criminals and end up over spending my bankroll on a strong security system, without having money to justify the enhancing of such systems.

Physical casinos are not going anywhere. Online gambling has been around for decades now and both have been able to co-exist in that time. There might be ebbs and flows when laws are changed, so each category can capitalize on different changes, but generally you could imagine they would be at an equilibrium now. "Land" based casinos can draw in a completely different crowd and can often be a great socializing location for groups of players, who might make that their whole trip or end up in there after a night out. Just look at Las Vegas which always finds room to expand further, is always renovating and building new hotels on the strip and draws in millions of players each year for proof.

Hey everyone,

As online gambling platforms continue to grow in popularity, I’ve been wondering about the future of traditional, land based casinos.

Traditional and land based casinos will also look for a way to step up, if they don’t, then time will come when people will stop making use of them, or if people will still be using them, then they won’t have many customers. I notice that some casinos that started as land based casinos alone already have the online version. Maybe they already know that people patronizing them will reduce later in the future, so they already have an alternative. If you want to gamble online, you can visit their website, and if you prefer physical gambling, then it’s fine, you will still be able to gamble.

Yes, the most difficult point of land-based casinos is the diplomatic relationship with the government, governments often have demands and do not encourage this type of business, so in order to be an official casino, the costs given as well as the source of relationships need to be truly broad and guaranteed. In return, once legalized easily, customers will feel more comfortable than small casinos that are not supported by the government but in reality, the digital age is leading to many highlights as well as convenience, the online casino model is gradually gaining more market share, it's also a good competition to perfect the services

What do you mean? isn't it obvious that you can't just put up a land base casinos if the government will not allow it, simply as that. So this is not a challenge face by land base casinos. Here in my country there are big casinos, usually funded by US/Asian casinos so there is no issue with our government what so ever. They even expanded another casino somewhere in the south. Meaning this casinos are making a lot of money and in turn they are giving huge taxes for our government. So it's very legal here, although there are some fly by night gaming and that's where our government are focusing on cracking them down. And this big casinos as well are venturing into online gambling, to compete with so much online operators as well that is allowed by the government.
