Do you still go in a physical casinos?

[Fivestar4everMVP]

If I find myself in a physical casino, Moore often than not it is because I’m there to eat at a restaurant. Sometimes maybe for an event. In my life I’ve almost never gone to one to gamble. Besides that being an expensive hobby, I just can’t stand all the cigarette smoke. I feel like you age 5x as fast while you’re in one.

Definitely a very good point here, all my life, ive been to a physical casino but only once and not that I even went on my own, a friend begged me to escort him there to meet with another friend whom he called up and that one told him he's in the casino having fun with few of his friends as well.

I went in there and I can't believe the level at which people smoke and drink all manner and type of smokables and substances, I neither smoke at that time, but I do take alcoholic stuffs, I went in, maintain3d my cool, had a few bottle to keep my head in check, this was one of my worst 45 minutes I spent somewhere because aside from the cigarette odour that filled the air, the music wasn't interesting too me and was also too loud.

More reason my I never had that interest of visiting a physical casinos but learnt to enjoy gambling online the more from my little space.

This question is for everyone.. since online casinos are the trend now, who here still visits physical casinos?

I've never visited physical casinos even when online casinos weren't there as at that time I wasn't interested in gambling at all, but when I started using online casinos then I got interested in gambling. I found that gambling is quite a good thing to have fun, and fortunately I've never placed high amount bets or lost any higher amount of money in it because from the start I learnt about gambling responsibility. I won't say that I haven't lost any money but so far the losses are still below $200 and that's not a very big amount for me.

I think some countries have more of betting shops than casinos. Though in my country, especially in the most visited states, they have more of these cainos than the rest states. Over here we see so many betting shops where you can play all kind of sport betting including virtual games. I'm not much of a fan of betting shop though as it's kind of stressful to leave my comfort zone just to place bets. I'm so happy we have these online casino and many betting companies extending to their services online too.

That's the same scenario we face in my country.  Bet shops are almost in every street of my location.  But casinos are limited to view areas where the rich decides. Many people in my country might not afford the cost of playing in these physical casinos which might be the reason why bet shops are preferred.  These bet shops have electronic appliances where bets can be placed and also football matches can be viewed.  I usually visit casinos once in a while maybe to hang out with friends and maybe share some cups or bottles of drinks with them.

However,  I don't think that it is necessary to travel far to another location because I want to gamble in a casino. I might only gamble there if I visit such a place for another purpose. Bet shops and online casinos are my common gambling options, while casinos are just for luxury..

I did that too way back before the pandemic and farther than that. It's like a habit for me to go in the poker room once in 2 weeks, and that became like a tradition for me. But when the pandemic hit, everything changed, and then I got a family to take care of, so I would rather put my time into that than be in a poker room just to entertain myself.

Well, luckily, online gambling has been booming, and I was also urged to try it out, and it was not that bad. At first, I thought it was not going to be fun because you are not playing against people physically, and when you play slots and casino games, you are just up against the system, which I was not used to. I always liked playing against other people in card games but now it all changed. I never got back to the poker room ever again after that although I still miss it.

[Zigabel]

For now I am more comfortable with online casinos playing anytime I can do it and the advantage of online casinos is not everyone knows that I like to gamble, there is privacy offered that makes me comfortable besides that in the country where I live physical casinos are prohibited although there are some that operate all illegal, if I want to play at a physical casino I have to go to a neighboring country which is quite close and only takes less than 1 hour.

The ease and flexibility that comes with the online casinos is one which I sometimes see as underrated, going to the physical casino now feels to me like some sort of stress and time consuming activity so I don't even bother going there often anymore except for few times where I have a call by my friends who are at the casino or an unavoidable reason to visit the physical casino els I do most of all that I have to do back at home on my phone or PC on the online casino platforms. In your case that visit to a physical casino is actually too stressful to consider.

[banana33]

I sometimes visit a physical casino.  Since there is a nearby physical casino in my place  which is located in front of a mall, I have the luxury of visiting it whenever I go to do some shopping in the said mall. 

I agree that playing in a physical casino brings a new atmosphere, excitement, and fun, probably because of the ambiance, so I do not think that it is just a waste of time visiting it. It is worth the visit if we talk about new feelings from playing online casinos and possible new acquaintances.

Bro you are lucky that you have a nearby casino that is located in front of a mall, I have never got the chance to have that. And so with that, if we ever will want to visit a physical casinos, we will have to travel for hours just to play.

But in any case, it's worth it, specially if you win big and then you go home. But the trauma of losing and then you have to drive for hours, Lol. Anyway, just like others, it was for the experience of it. But since now we have online, then might be better to do it at home if no one has the time to play and drive.

Both online and physical casinos have their own pros and cons. The fun in a physical casino is the environment and the social aspect which makes you feel happy and excited but accessibility might be a problem. However, online casino is always with you in your pocket everywhere you go, you can easily place your bet making it more convenient. Technology has taken over the world. I gamble online mostly.

the difficulty is precisely this, it is difficult for me to go to a physical casino, while with the online one I can place my bet whenever I want and play even when I am sitting in any part of the world where I am without having to worry, so I also play mainly online

I'll tell you that you've really missed out on something by never having been to a physical casino. I understand that everyone is different and for some it's a whole event: talking to the service staff, smelling the casino, carpets flying in and listening to the sounds of the roulette and the spinning of the slot machines.
But for me, my first visit was unpleasant. I don't like such establishments and everything seems alien and hostile to me. And many of my friends agree with this. And for an online casino, you don't even need to get off the couch.

[Yucky]

Physical casinos in my country can be found in expensive cities. If you're going there, be ready to spend a good amount of money on drinks. I barely go to physical casinos. What I frequent more on weekends is local betting shops for sport betting. I rather play casino games on my phone when I feel the need to, Plus 'm also not a big fan of casinos games. I enjoy betting on sports more, so I don't really get bothered about having to go to a physical casino unless it's during the festive period and I just hang out with my friends and we consider stopping by at the casino, but it's not a regular thing for me.

You are lucky because you have never played in a land-based casino before there was an online casino, I used to play in a land-based casino with my friends every weekend before there was an online casino and the reason I said lucky is because when I played in a land-based casino every weekend I had to have a minimum of $ 100 to play roulette and if played correctly could last until past 2 am with some free drinks but I had to pay for food or snacks which sometimes exceeded $ 100 which was immediately gone.

And after knowing online casinos I accidentally forgot about physical casinos, because besides not having to spend money and food and drinks because I was at home I could also gamble more relaxed which I could do anytime I wanted and besides my capital of $ 100 for physical casinos at that time I could use to gamble for more than a week or even up to two weeks because I also rarely gamble except on weekends which sometimes I was also lucky.

Okay, by just magine a situation that, for example, in some city, where there is not much place to have fun, some good company builds a large physical beautiful casino and for many people. This would be a great opportunity to have a good weekend in a very beautiful place in a very favorable atmosphere. I know such examples, there are plenty of them in my city and many of my friends go there to get away from the work day.
After all, if someone goes to play in an online casino, he will not experience all this festive atmosphere and will not make any interesting acquaintances.

In our country, there are a lot of physical casinos that are near to attractions and malls. Even the casinos themselves became malls and places to dine with some fine dining. It's in our plan if ever we go to that biggest mall that's near to these local casinos in our country OP, we'd check out if they're kind of good or not. I haven't been there for a very long time and kind of a bit older now and forgotten how it looks like. This is how good online casinos are, we're forgetting to go to the traditional ones because it's been so good and convenient.

It's actually not about online casinos being better or more convenient, but it's mostly about personal preferences. So many people would prefer a land-based casino over an online casino any day because they believe the thrill and the experience of a land-based casino is what makes you wanna go there and they are not wrong; even though I haven't been into a land-based casino myself but we can see videos, we see them in the movies, and it looks way more fun to be in a land-based casino than in an online casino.

Online casinos are only good for making some quick bets because you log in to your account, choose your favourite game, and make your bets quickly without any interruption; there is no crowd or music or sounds, etc. In land-based casinos, you get to enjoy the environment, maybe interact with other gamblers playing with you, have something to drink and eat, and have a good time.

[babygun]

It has been a while but I always like playing in physical casinos as it gives me much more excitement then online ones. The experience is just more fun and I love to play blackjack. Downside is that the minimumbet in physical casinos is getting higher and higher especially in Vegas.

[baeva]

For now I am more comfortable with online casinos playing anytime I can do it and the advantage of online casinos is not everyone knows that I like to gamble, there is privacy offered that makes me comfortable besides that in the country where I live physical casinos are prohibited although there are some that operate all illegal, if I want to play at a physical casino I have to go to a neighboring country which is quite close and only takes less than 1 hour.

In your case that visit to a physical casino is actually too stressful to consider.

For you it is to fulfil a need - to play for money, for others visiting a physical casino is not just to come to play for money, but to sit down perhaps with friends in such an environment. And the environment there is definitely pleasant, it is radically different from what gives online casino, with him you will not experience such feelings, but if it is only the essence of the game for money, then yes, there is no difference

You know the idea of having to travel a far distance just to go lose some money to the casino is kinda hilarious, lol. Because certainly you’ll definitely lose some bucks there (even if you end up winning a few). I know some people might say that it’s just all about having fun, yeah that’s true but for someone who actually wan a have fun, there’s gotta be some other places you could actually have some prettt good time.

[Kristiyana]

Ever since I got myself involved in this online betting the thought of gambling offline have not been coming across my mind, both casino and sporting betting I always do it online. And one of the reason why I choose do everything online is because I wouldn't want anyone to embarrass me, of course offline gambling always come with a lot of embarrassment. You will see someone who is not even up to your level disrespecting you all in the name of gambling, this is why I always avoid them.

This question is for everyone.. since online casinos are the trend now, who here still visits physical casinos?

We all know gambling’s about fun, but like malls or shops that were packed before, barely anyone goes now because you can just order online. Is the same thing happening to physical casinos? Are they getting crushed by online gambling?

If you’ve tried both, share your experience!

I’ll also create a poll for you to vote.

Nowadays, people are increasingly focusing on online gambling, but physical casinos have some exceptional benefits that cannot be found in online casinos. You have to be physically present at an offline casino, so you can order various drinks and delicious food there if you wish. If you get tired of betting, you can arrange for entertainment. In that case, there are various types of dance songs, as well as many other entertainment arrangements that you can choose from as you wish. However, you may not be able to guarantee security in offline gambling, but those who feel lonely and bored can participate in physical casinos because of the special benefits in other aspects.

...If you’ve tried both, share your experience!

If you treat gambling as entertainment, then the advantages of a physical casino are undeniable. Here, first of all, the atmosphere itself plays, which is inherent in a gambling establishment, thanks to which you will have a great time in the company of friends.

Not just that, I think you might have built some friendship as well along the time you spend in casinos. I have seen familiar faces when I go there, then talk to them and it seems that everyone really knows each other to the point that when I hear them talk, it's like they discussing some personal things or problems.

And there is also some kind of drama in land based casino, seems some foreigners kicking the slot machine and so he has to be restrained by securities. And then there was a time that I saw a man hurriedly running to the exit and then security chasing him. 

So a lot is happening in land base casinos that you can't experience obviously when you are playing alone online.

Same here. It has been years since I went to an offline casino. And since I am only playing occasionally, online betting is more convenient for me. I believe, a lot already shifted to online gaming these days especially when pandemic hit the world.
More than likely, a lot of young generations today will have faster access when it comes to online gambling vs offline gambling. Because with offline, they can't hide their age especially if the casino is strict with their underage gambling policy. Whereas, with online gambling, they can find a way how to go around with the requirements of the online casino. And if they happen to find these non-kyc casinos, they can easily hook up to these sites without a doubt. With so many pros when it comes to online gambling, it is no surprise if more and more players will opt for this gambling route these days.

You are absolutely right, physical casinos are not primarily for betting, but rather an important place to hang out with some old friends who are busy at work and elsewhere. People become mentally weak after working continuously for a long time and in that case they need entertainment. In this case, going to a physical casino will remove that boredom and chatting with friends will definitely improve their mental health. However, there are no physical casinos in my area, especially in our country, it is kind of prohibited and punishable by law, which is why we cannot easily get involved in physical casinos. Moreover, physical casinos are mostly visited by the elderly, which is why this generation avoids the elderly and even has an interest in online casinos.

The popularity of online casinos has kept growing rapidly and at that, we all know that physical casinos have nothing to compete with online casinos as many of their customers have chosen privacy and freedom in online casi to compare to the risks and public backlash that come with constant visits to the physical casino.
