Where are you hyper focus, online casinos or physical casinos

[Silberman]

I don't think there is a topic created about this, so I'm creating one.

Physical casinos do not have clocks or windows on the gaming floor, and they offer free drinks like wine energy drinks, and food so the gamblers will be hyper focused this is why gamblers spend hours without even knowing they have already spent, while online casinos offer free spins, rakeback, and cashback so you can continue to play to level up to enjoy these perks.

So between the two where are you more hyper-focused and how many hours do you spend on one compared to the other?

In my case it has to be physical casinos, but not for the reasons you may think, after all when I gamble online I have the freedom to decide how much time I want to spend gambling, and in the case of a sport bet this can be as short as a few seconds, and I can just do whatever else I want with my time, however attending a physical casino has a series of opportunity costs, like the time spent on the road, which makes it unlikely you will just spend a few minutes there as you want to make your visit count, then it is way more likely you will spend hours there and you may make use of those perks offered by casinos.

Since I never had a chance to gamble in physical casinos, I don’t have any experience to compare between online casinos, however, when we think logically about which one of them gives us more hyper focus to keep gambling, I choose the physical one, I guess dealing with real machines and being in front of dealers will give you more energy and entertainment.
for instance, online casinos can be played anywhere as long as you take your device with, so you really feel comfortable and without the need to interact with the dealers or being called which i believe can be a reason for you to lose focus.

You're right, both physical and online casinos use strategies to keep you playing longer - it's all about trying to make you lose track of time, and money.  Online casinos can be worse cuz they're faster paced and so easy to access.  Just a tap on your phone or click on the computer and you're in, so you dont got that physical barrier to maybe make you stop like at a real casino.

I feel like with online ones, since getting money out or putting it in is pretty simple, it's a lot easier to keep playing without thinking.  And those sites load so quick and games go so fast next thing you know hours passed.  At least with real casinos you gotta move around and see real people occasionally instead of just staring at a screen losing track of everything else.

Because I am someone who doesn't like crowds, I prefer and focus on using online casinos, because online casinos can give me comfort and freedom. And besides that, I can also play in a quiet and quiet place like my room, so I can play with focus and play with full awareness, so I don't play too much.
For offline casinos, I don't really care and what is certain is that it is very busy there, smells of cigarette smoke and is also noisy which has the potential to make me unable to focus on playing.
Even though for some friends or other people it is more fun to play offline casinos, it will make most people lose consciousness which results in spending more money apart from betting, they also spend money on other things including the costs of getting there. And these costs can actually be enough capital to play online casino.

Keeping Gambler's active and energized via their supplement treatment is part of the business mechanism of casinos most especially the physical casinos sometimes this treatment may become a way of attracting customers to the casinos, and also making them comfortable enough to waste hour's of the days in the casino without feeling exusted.
Although this may not work for every casinos since local regulations may limits some of the things the casinos can offer to the customers while in the casinos be it in form of food or drinks, sometimes even free women too.

I'm a lazy gambler so I prefer to do it in the comforts of my home and spend as little time on it as possible. There fore I don't go to physical casinos at all, so the answer to whether I'm hyper focused there is pretty simple - I'm not because I don't go there. I don't live in the city center, so If I were to drive there and go to a casino, it would take at least 30 minutes + parking fees and all that. I'd rather use my computer. Also, I don't like noisy places so I'm more focused when I'm alone, or with one or two close friends.

So between the two where are you more hyper-focused and how many hours do you spend on one compared to the other?

I hate moving from one place to another place.  I also not too fond of loud noises and crowded places.  I love to enjoy the silence of my room so I am more interested in playing online casinos.  Besides, playing at home made me avoid traffic jam that consumes a lot of time which eats my fun time not saying the frustration when caught in traffic that almost doesn't move.

Aside from that, I also am not fond of free drinks and snacks since I don't really like the tastes of liquor.  I would rather have perks from online casinos like free spins, bonus deposits, rakeback, and cash back than those freebies offered in the physical casinos.  Since the bonuses given by online casino can lengthen my gameplay and might possibly extend my fund to hit a huge multiplier.

I learned how to gamble from a physical gambling hall, but along the line I find my self betting on an online casino more than the physical gambling hall I started from. However gambling online gives you the privilege of gambling at your own comfort because no matter the kind of environment you find yourself, as long as there is an internal access there you can gamble.

I believe that each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, and the evaluation will differ according to the circumstances and aspirations of each user:

Physical casinos: For those who want to maintain the greatest amount of privacy and enjoy a nice time while gambling, these casinos will be their best choice, but they must take into account that the temptations provided by these facilities can easily lead to involvement in addiction. Also, the problem with physical casinos is that none of them support cryptocurrencies, apart from the fact that they are not available to everyone.

Online casinos: They are the option available to almost everyone and they support cryptocurrencies, meaning that any user from anywhere in the world can enjoy gambling services, regardless of his circumstances or the type of currencies he has. However, one must always take into consideration the aspect of privacy that these casinos do not support, and caution is always necessary due to frequent cases of frauds.

[Slow death]

When talking about physical casinos and online casinos the difference is big, you yourself have already talked about the points that differ between these two casinos, but we have to take into account that it is unlikely that the majority of people who go to physical casinos are lucky enough to live close to the physical casino, so we have a scenario in which the majority of people who frequent physical casinos are going for tourism, they go with friends for a walk just like they do when they go to a beach or a trip somewhere, they know that they don't go to the physical casino every days because it's far away and you have a job, so every day you have to go to work and work, but when you have a day off or on vacation, you take the opportunity to go and play at a physical casino.

This is the casino Casino di Campione, Italy:

#1. Casino di Campione, Italy (590,000 Square Feet)

The Casino di Campione, located on the picturesque shores of Lake Lugano in Italy, stands as the world’s largest casino, encompassing an astonishing 590,000 square feet (55,000 square meters) of gaming space. Established in the distant year of 1917, this grand establishment not only holds the distinction of being one of Europe’s oldest casinos but also reigns supreme in terms of sheer size. In 2007, the casino relocated to its current site, a sprawling complex celebrated for its colossal proportions, which house an impressive array of 56 gaming tables and over 500 slot machines across 9 sprawling stories. Although the casino temporarily closed its doors in 2018, it recently made a triumphant return in January 2022, reclaiming its title as Europe’s largest casino from the Casino Lisboa in Portuga

when people see this photo and read the article, people become interested in visiting the casino on the day they travel to Italy, the rich who like to visit the best places in the world, when they see this photo and this article they soon travel to Italy to go see this casino and play in it, people from Italy who are in other cities will also travel to see and play in this casino, nowadays physical casinos have become tourist spots where people go to visit and take the opportunity to go for a walk, have fun and play a lot and then the same people will go to other places to visit other casinos.

whereas in the case of online casinos it is the same people who are playing there every day. This is because in the case of online casinos, players are playing with clear objectives of making money, they are thinking about profit and nothing else.

A lot of us too once started with physical gambling but right now, we barely visit the physical casino because of the convenience we enjoy since we got to know about the online gambling platforms. I am also a very lazy gambler who rarely goes out, except for few days I go out with friends to nearby casinos. Online casinos which are readily available as long as I have my devices with me, has made me enjoy gambling better. Anyone who enjoys gambling with online casinos have to be extra careful because online casinos can be very addictive with lots of regrets accompanying it.

Personally I choose and direct all of my focus to the online casino a s this is because of the privacy I tend to get from the online casino and the ability to maintain a healthy gambling habit around the online casino although for others it may be totally different but I know for sure that for people whose environment has some personalities amongst which they wouldn't want to be aware of their gambling habits, they may most likely result to the online casinos.

The benefits both online and offline give sometimes when placed side by sides you get to find out that somehow at some point that cancel out because since the online casinos cannot get to give you drinks a d food just like some of the offline casinos does they substitute it for the bonus and the free spins to attract and kept you in their casinos long enough trying to be able to see how much you can make off those bonuses which in some cases you eventually end up going to loose to the casino again or if you eventually win you can be able to afford the food they would have given you if it were to be a physical casino.

Summarily both casinos have got their peculiarities of which if they appeal to your personality you can go ahead to choose from which you are going to definitely work with, if you are such a person that can deal with not really having to care people's opinions when they find you in a physical casino then you can get to work with them to have your kind of fun but then if you care much about it then the online casinos is there for you to still maintain your cool while having your fun still.

I am having a hard time defining the term hyper focus, is it spending more time without realizing how much time you have been doing it?

Everybody have their mobile 24/7 do irrespective whether there is no clock or window it doesn't stop you from seeing what's the time so its the choice we took when we decided to gamble and there maybe some saying that the casinos don't have clock so people forgot how long they have been playing.

Online casinos are equally engaging in other forms since it does operate 24/7 at the palm of your hands.

just like you, i also prefer to play online because it is much more efficient and easier. we don't need to be tired of going to the casino just to gamble, because just open our smartphone and we can play as many games as we want directly from our smartphone, it's not complicated and much easier. especially for people who don't really like noise, playing online is much easier and more fun, because i can play from my room or living room while listening to music or watching tv.

I think it also depends on the individual but I will discuss on how each platform can have their respective focuses:

ON PHYISCAL CASINOS:
Like what you said OP, physical casinos give lots of complimentaries in order to compel the individual to stay for as long as they can on the gambling establishment. This includes drinks, free staying on the hotel, free food, etc. and any kind of amenity in order to really capture the person on staying on the establishment.

ON ONLINE CASINOS:
While there may be no free amenities being offered or complimentaries, online casinos have bonuses and rewards (e.g. free spins,etc.) in order to entice the gambler on the online casino. In addition, these online casinos offer the best convenience- which is to gamble at your own home or place, etc. Also, the convenience of paying through online MOPs are efficient.

First, I do not have a choice but to focus on online gambling but if I have the chance patronise the physical casinos because I am a busy person and the proximity of the standard physical casino to my house is like a journey. So this is always discouraging and since there are standard restaurants and bars around me, there is no urge to go for the standard physical casino because those are the extra I target going there, not the gambling per se.

However, it surprised me with the free food and drink remarks you attributed to physical casinos, personally, I've not witnessed such before. Good, those extras are there but for a certain access fee, so you do not get that without the payment. It could have been another VIP package as well. I'm not saying in particular that this is not true but saying that it is not so in most cases. And the casino must be so big for such to be happening even as the company must have indirectly charged for the food and drinks elsewhere.

So between the two where are you more hyper-focused and how many hours do you spend on one compared to the other?

Before I voted, I thought that many more votes would go to "online gambling" and that probably many people who started to gamble online don't even think about returning to physical casinos. I'm one of those people who won't go back to physical casinos. And the score is 32 to 1 for online gambling... I don't count how much time I gamble, I do it when I can, probably shorter than some and longer than others.. one of the beauties of online gambling is that I can do it whenever I can without a big hassle.

But does the rest of the world think about online vs physical casinos? The numbers are only growing and the gambling market is expanding in all directions. If we can believe the statistics, online gambling is constantly growing:

2022 saw the gambling scene make $449.04 billion worldwide, with online gambling contributing $74.42 billion (16.58%) of the total revenue

The worldwide iGambling market expected to generate close to $90 billion in 2023, 12% of the total gambling industry revenue. Also, analysts project the market to rise at the annual rate of 9.1% and reach $124 billion by 2027.

An interesting question would be whether online casinos will generate more money than physical ones one day. And if it is possible when it could happen.

You are right for people who don't want to be tired and don't want the hassle and prefer to play online gambling at home because apart from not being noisy we can focus more on gambling. I also prefer gambling online compared to going to an offline casino because I am also very lazy to travel. while we can enjoy it at home without having to go far, and for people who are tired from working all day, they definitely prefer to do it at home rather than having to travel further which will waste their energy while at home they only have to sit holding a smartphone or While lying down we can do whatever we want.

Whereas in a physical casino we can't lie down or do as we please and if we need food and drink we also need to spend more money so for me instead of spending more money on petrol for a long trip or buying food it's better to gamble at home. we can eat and drink for free while enjoying the gambling we play, even while listening to music, as you said.

[slapper]

Hyper-focus, man! It exists and casinos are proficient at using it as a weapon. Nothing except this endless space where you lose track of everything but the game: no clocks, no windows. They keep you in the zone and you wager well over your budget by feeding you alcohol and stimulants. It is a well planned attack on your senses intended to increase your spending. Internet casinos? Goal same, strategies different. By offering free spins and cashback, they try to get you to play "just one more round."

Me? I can focus anywhere, anytime. Emotions can, nevertheless, play a part. The way you react to those triggers will determine how much of an impact the surroundings have on your mental health. It's about your own plans and your own resolve

I also prefer to gamble in online casinos. I don't want to go out and get into the hassle of the traffic and commute. Here in our country, traffic is crazy and when I say crazy, you might be surprised. Those that are living in a country that has a good transportation and don't have much volume of cars. I'll tell you how crazy it is to commute here, I live in the city and 20 kilometers of travel will cost you 1 hour, rush hour or not. And can you imagine that? While the physical casino is within the city and you'd get stuck in the middle of the traffic and before arriving to the casino, you're already haggard and exhausted.
