Land Based Casinos in the Digital Age

[redsun114]

I believe nothing can be said about that at this point. We know that the world is moving towards digitalization at a great pace, and almost every sector is getting digitalized, people prefer it that way since they wouldn't need to be physically present somewhere to get something done.

Land-based and physical casinos are preferred by some people because they like the environment more and that is because the era we are living in has people from the past where people used to have all those things instead of the digital version. Now when we move farther into the future, the new and upcoming generations wouldn't know much about the physical counterparts of things such as gambling, so maybe they would prefer only online platforms and eventually, physical establishments will start fading away.

Recently I encountered a couple of new videos showing suspicious (magnetic looking) movement at Stake's live roulette.

See here:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Stake/comments/1bts1yh/stake_roulette_magnets/

If something like this would ever happen in a big established casino every person around the table would instantly call them out for cheating. But online, what can you do? Sure, you can make a video and share it, but what else?

In this example it is obvious there is something wrong. The ball suddenly jumping from a settled position at 7 into the 17 is pretty much impossible, the movement was way to sudden.
And because of things like this trusting online casinos is very hard and real casinos will always be the better option.

We will see the coexistence of both. While the digital upgrade is there but it won't stop the existence of the land or physical casinos because traditional never gets old or it does but gamblers will still find a way to experience the oldies but goodies way of gambling. Just think of it that even there have been a lot of online casinos out there, you, your family or even your gambling friends might just choose to stay at home but not to gamble online but to find a way for each of you to enjoy gambling altogether. You're seeing the difference why it's fun to stay with your friends and sometimes that's where it starts that one of your family will ask to go and pay some visit to the physical casinos.

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?

I believe traditional casinos have a bright future! They offer unique experiences that online platforms can't fully replicate like the atmosphere, the social interactions, and the thrill of live games. While online gambling is convenient, many people still seek the immersive experience of a land based casino. I think we'll see these traditional spaces evolving, integrating more technology and offering new types of entertainment to complement what's available online. There's room for both to thrive, with each catering to different preferences.

Some traditional thing could be replace but not the way casino operates. They are divided with physical casino and online casino and the good thing is that not only they coexist, but they also grow together. Before the existence of online casino, only few are given an opportunity to gamble due to the limited numbers of a physical casino, but now that there are plenty of online casino especially the crypto casinos, gambling has become more popular, and it has continuesly benefited the physical casino. In short, online casino made the gambling industry more popular.

Yeah, I will have to agree with that. And that may be one of the biggest reasons why someone would still go to a physical casino, because of the environment. I can say it because I've been there, it's actually not easy to explain it but the vibes in a casino with lots of people are way different than how we do it at home with online gambling. Even those live gambling where you see the players, cannot be compared to the environment of being there physically.
But still, it's how we prefer it right now and for me, I do like gambling at home, maybe because I am too tired to go to a casino even though I know it will be a lot of fun. Plus, when you start having a family, it's difficult to get a good reason why you will go out. There will be lots of questions and I don't like being on that position.

They'll both exist into this gambling industry no matter how online gambling would progress, we should make ourselves aware that not all people would really be loving on playing online and still nothing could
beat up that real ambiance and experience on which physical casinos that could give and this is something those gamblers do loving and this is where they do preferred it out.

If you do try to look around then those casinos are still on existence on which means that there's still that a huge demand and i dont see any decline. Despite on online gambling casinos rise
or demand but still there are gamblers who are really that preferring on playing into these places. They are still making that significant revenue and we've seen on how
still relevant they are even up in todays era.

Gamblers have their own preference some want to play face to face, while other wants to stay anonymous.
Others want to meet up with other gamblers or socialize, while other wants to play silently, and have access anywhere and anytime they want.
So I agree that both land base and online casino or gambling could exist, they don't need to compete or one of them to disappear.

Although I agree that they will grow together, I think that eventually there will be an overtaking of the digital platforms over land based casinos. As younger people, who by definition feel more comfortable in digital environments, grow up and choose online casinos thanks to the greater convenience they offer, we will see a paradigm shift.

I don't mean that physical casinos are going to disappear, not even that they are going to lose business, but they will get a smaller share of a bigger market. Not to mention hybrid businesses that will take advantage of the best of both worlds (some are already doing it).

Online is going to be the future of everything but it doesn't mean it will replace land-based casinos and to one extend if we want to have to complete experience of gambling still the land-based casino is the preferable way but people adapt to online casinos for it's convenience and accessibility. Time passes the number of users is expected to increase in the whole gambling but most land based casinos apart from the region where it's known for gambling will be affected due to the evolution change.

Yes and they can co-exist. There are still players that prefer the old and traditional way, so they love to go to land base casinos and experience the ambience and the noise of it. But for the majority of us, who loves sports betting and casino games, online could be our thing specially in the pandemic. And there are countries that are open to gambling but have limited brick and mortar casinos. So not everyone can travel and play although there are promotions of casinos that bring players around. But in the end, both online and offline casinos can exist in harmony as they are still gamblers favor either of the two.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

I think traditional gambling still has its place, although customer market share will certainly be affected. The feeling of gambling live, holding shovels of money is still the most exciting feeling, online gambling cannot be replaced. Traditional gambling is still a place for tourists to come and play. They see it as a form of entertainment when traveling. Instead of playing online, they can play anytime.

However, I believe that traditional casinos themselves will also have reforms to keep up with the trend. They can expand to an online business model to adapt to market changes. This can include developing mobile applications, betting websites, or even online casinos.
Besides, they can enhance player experiences - things that online gambling cannot provide, such as real casino atmosphere, interaction with live dealers, and live entertainment events.

[Betwrong]

Casinos have a vibe: the energy, the crowd, the whole scene. Its not just the money, its the experience. And these days, with everything online, people are starved for that real-world buzz.

Not all people, I can assure you of that. I'm not, for instance. And it's not only me. There are many people who prefer their home environmet to anything alse, and what others see as perks, they see as drawbacks: shiny surfaces, loud talks around them, alcoholic drinks served by seductive women, you name it. It's not for everybody, you know.

Casinos can win big, and I mean BIG, by being more than just slots and tables. Forget just gambling - we're talking shows, top-notch restaurants, maybe even classes on how to play. Its about that human connection.

And dont think they're going extinct, far from it. The smart casinos get it – people miss the personal touch. Its not about fighting the internet, it's about giving folks something they cant find on their phones. Thats the future. Its the Vegas experience revamped, and believe me, thats a winning hand.

That's what I agree with. AT least during the nearest 50 years there will always be some people enjoying land-based casinos.

As technology develops, physical casinos may be less popular than online casinos because nowadays most people prefer to use cellphones wherever they go and online casinos are easy to do anywhere, whereas in land-based casinos we have to visit the gambling house. I even think that one day gambling houses will become extinct and they will switch to online casinos because if they don't keep up with developments they will be increasingly left behind. Indeed there are some people who may still be able to visit land-based casinos but not as many as in the past so in my opinion, land-based casinos continue hoping that someone will come to visit, it would be better if he changed the concept to change it online so that the profits return to normal.

Cellphone isn't just simply preferred but they need it primarily for communications. Other features included there are what we can say only just a bonus. If we think about it, there are still land-based services like computer shops even though mini-computers are now dominating but their numbers were maybe lesser now compared to before. I believe the same faith physical casinos will experience. At least they won't be extinct totally.

Physical casinos can include new stuffs but they still can't imitate the comfortability that these online casinos bring. As much as you do, for sure that many physical business owners have also think of the idea to switch online and maybe many of them are now already there.

This could be one of the best example of roulette being rigged and with a magnet. I have been also playing roulette for many years and I have a suspicious and so as others that it is being manipulated, specially with the advent of Evolution roulette games. So yeah, it's hard to trust online casinos when you can see that they are blatantly cheating their patrons. In any case, I still do go to land base casinos from time to time and just enjoy and play roulette and other games if I wanted to have a break with online gaming. So I guess there will still be players here who will go and experience the physical game.

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

Land based casinos aren’t going anywhere and I think they’re going to be around for as long as people gamble.
No doubt, online gambling platforms like you noted, are gaining popularity due to its convenience. When most of the inhabitants of planet earth was indoors due to the covid pandemic, online casinos gained more popularity as people had little options than to use them. Now that the pandemic is long over, a lot of people that switched to online gambling remained.

But the experience gotten is not the same and never would be. That’s pretty much why land based casinos would still be with us. We’ve got people who cherish the experience and the thrill gotten from land based casinos that can’t be gotten from online casinos.

They are not completely gone as that, we only have the way they operates being minimized due to the increasing demands for digital or crypto gambling casinos which is the online form and version of these physical or land base gambling, we are definitely going by the way of the new trends in the gambling sector, people want to make use of the digital online casinos because of its affordability and accessibility at all times, the convenience and privacy is also part of the reasons why we are having much of the online gambling casinos while the physical or land base are still existing base on location and demands.

There is a intriguing atmosphere the brick and mortar casinos provides that can't be felt by the use of online gambling. Its a feeling that is inexplicable which is why there are gamblers that will at any time choose on-land based casinos over on-line.

IMO, online casino is not here to send on-land casinos to extinction but as a way to compliment or more of an alternative in areas or situations where on-land is not accessible. One thing that made online casinos popular and embracing was the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, so it's only in situations as that we will have on-land casinos lacking patronage.

They are going to slowly decrease though. Over time, traditional casinos will eventually just fewer and fewer and may only exist in major cities where tourist travels a lot. It's going to be the place where people celebrate their stag parties and business success and then attendees are just going to stay on the casino til the night is over. Physical casinos will slowly die.

[shasan]

Gambling activities that are done on land will never stop to exist even if the online gambling continues to become more popular. I do not just frequent my self in gambling at a local casino company on land because everything that I will go there to do, I can just do it on my phone, that's my own thought, but everytime you visit a land casino, you will definitely see the place being filled with people. Some people love to gamble on land while some people too prefer to gambling online. Before land gambling activities would be stopped, it will have to be banned, else, it will never stop to exist.

What is the problem for me and/or you if the land-based game is not stopped? Hence I think land-based gambling should continue longer than online games. From lan-based games, people can have more fun than online-based games.

AFAIK even before, land based casino main target is huge city because that is the place which wealthy person usually leave or stay for work. Land-based casino customers target is still the same and they are still performing well even with the existence of online casino. There’s still a lot of new casino being constructed in our country after pandemic since there’s still a demand for this.

Online casino become a hit because it’s target audience are those people that can’t afford playing in land-based casino due to different reason but that doesn’t mean the old players of land based casino will choose online while they are already playing the upgraded version of casino experience.

It’s just the market for gambling industry grow significantly due to the existence of online casino while land based casino target market is still the same.
