Are online Casinos more rigged than physical Casinos like in Las Vegas?

[MarangoZ]

so as I been gambling online for a while sometimes I wonder like would it be better off walking into a real casino like in Vegas!
at least in real casino you see the dealer, the wheel, dice, the cash
like there is some transparency on other hand the online it is all code and you have to trust the software and hope the site not screwing with you

what do u think curious to hear from people who have done both

If a casino is transparent in their dealings and have earned good ratings and reviews from those that have gambled there before, there is no need trying to go into a physical one because you feel going to a physical one will make things more transparent and cannot be rigged.

It is a two way options though and I think both of them can be reliable to bet on if any of those casinos have trusted reviews from their already existing customers that have used them before. Some go online because of the stress of walking down to a physical casino, also some go online in order to hide from the public that they’re gamblers.

Those that prefer physical also do it for other reasons like; mingling with other gamblers and having to see how they bet and react to wins and losses which they can’t find when they’re gambling on their devices indoors.

Mind you about physical casinos that they've got more cost into their operations rather than the online ones. And that's why they've got more profit margins in the physical ones to sustain the cost for everything. But if that's what you feel about going inside a physical casinos and you feel more safe and games are not rigged. That's on you because just remember that all casinos, online and offline are there to make money. Thus, we always get to hear these words "the house always wins".

Do you believe the casino games are rigged? If yes, then your belief should not only be centered on whether the online casino is unfair more than the offline, as anything that the operator wants to rig they can do in your front without you noticing it. I have not been in any physical casino before; I have not even been to Las Vegas before, but for the sake of my privacy, I just feel much more comfortable with betting in an online casino than walking to a physical casino with a bunch of cash in my hand. My safety matters to me a lot, and I like to avoid physical contact as much as I can. The fairness I really don’t care much about as long as the place has gained my trust.

Well, there are fewer physical casinos and they are usually huge brands that don't need to rig anything.

The problem with online casinos is that there are many generic ones that are most likely rigging bets and stealing funds. That's why you don't just use any gambling website, but go with trusted ones that have something to lose.

Yeet for example has many known names behind it and they have no reasons to rig anything when they can invest to become huge and earn in a legit way. Remember that casinos are profitable, so they don't need to steal from customers to make money, that's just what some crooked ones do.

We have provably fairness which is a system that let's you to verify the fairness of the results after the bet anf you will be provided with hashed seed that you can see whether it matches and there's no way a casino can change it and that's how we can ensure that bets are completely random and not rigged by the casino.

So in online casino that uses provably fairness is more random than the dealer you see in a physical casino who got his limitations when it comes to complete randomness.

Online they are much more likely to withhold your funds for some excuse like "KYC/AML needs further review and more docs." In that sense, quite a few of them are rigged, especially if you have a big win. The games themselves are probably honest and "fair" they don't need to cheat there to win your money.

[SmartGold01]

Definitely you can't compared online and offline casinos because they aren't the same just that one is physical and the other is online, and yes how did you run the code or test it to be entirely proven to be trustworthy. What just happened is that when gambling online they have made their own adjustments and work it in a favor of themselves and when you are gambling they often benefit from the gambler than the way gamblers benefits from them, although there are mostly rated casinos that has gained trust and reputation over the time, such as Metawin, stake.com and some other few casino, you can gambling without having any fear that your bet or games are being manipulated.

I would think that the lower overhead of online casinos would give them a higher payout ratio than casinos like those in Las Vegas where they have a ton of lights to power, drinks to give away, and employees to pay. Each casino is different though. That’s why it is important to use a reputable casino that won’t rip you off.

[STT]

Less rigged, less wear and tear creating natural bias on the equipment I think is a fair argument for the virtual over the physical sites.
  Its down to personal preference but old or tired worn, possibly damaged roulette wheel or maybe other devices in a game can lead to bias or a rigged game if you like.  They do change cards constantly for this reason I think but its not as easy on other considerations.

Just like Asiska02 has said in his comment that if they have good ratting or review then no need to worry. I agree to that. Offline and online casino are almost thesame thing and everyone will go for the one that best fits for them. There is no big deal in Gambling online, Both online and offline  are thesame just that people prefer each of them base on convenient. I think if there is any of them that is not transparent, it will surely be detected by the gamblers and trust me gamblers are not that dumb to not give a negative review or rating. So if there is no transparency in any of the online or offline Casino it will surely be communicated and everyone will stay away from such Casino be it online or offline because no one is happy losing money.

Use a trustworthy casino, be it online or land based.

Know that be it online or land based, if you are gambling against the casino, there is casino house edge and that makes it easy for the casino to make more money from you.

After you know trustworthy casinos, let your preference choose for you. I mean the one you enjoyed most. Some people may choose online casinos because of privacy.

I believe both are rigged to the extent that they require profits. However, when we consider the cost of both, I think online casinos spend less money, so they don't need to rig them excessively to cover their employee expenses and also generate profits.

As long as we are using a reputable online casino, we don't really need to spend too much before the RTP comes. It will likely happen. It's just a matter of luck and timing. I'd rather play slots in an online casino than the physical ones, although it's still fun pressing that spin button sometimes.

They are two different operations with different costs. There are good and bad casinos, this goes for both online and physical ones. Many online casinos that claimed to be provably fair turned out not to be fair after all. One thing you should never forget is that the house always wins. You have to see it as entertainment. Looking at it that way, I'd personally rather go to a physical casino. It just seems more fun.

[Shinpako09]

If you believe those coded games are rigged, why not play live games like Baccarat? You know, they also offer live versions not just computer operated ones. Anyway, whether you play online or in a physical casino, for example, Blackjack or Baccarat, your chances of winning will still be the same, right? Or better yet, go and experiment to see which one gives you more profit or at least improves your chances of winning. As for me, I’ll just go with the live dealer in online casinos. It saves me the hassle.

[btc78]

i never really have thought that online casinos are rigged but another benefit of playing in a physical casino is the experience itself you walk in and you see the actual casino instead of just seeing your room which you see all the time anyway

anyway there are also ways for a physical casino to be rigged without you noticing so the argument doesn’t make much sense to me

[Ryu_Ar1]

To be honest, for now I still cannot classify this because what I play is only online gambling because there are no offline casinos in the area or even in my country so it will be very difficult to compare if we have never even touched one of them but in this case certainly when talking about transparency then it is clear that things like this become a benchmark of course.
As for when talking about cheating and others as long as the casino we play in the end still has a very good reputation even though it is online and has transparency in terms of ratings and reviews from many other gamblers then I don't think we need to doubt too much especially in this case regardless of transparency or whatever in the end reputation is at stake so for online casinos especially for large casinos it is clear that in the end they will not risk their reputation just for small money for them.

Sometimes the problem of cheating is always indicated to when the loser but feels that it is unfair but in fact gambling is like that where both online or land-based casinos they are clearly a business that is prioritized so that when we win at one time in the end sooner or later defeat will occur if we continue to play a game.

That's true. All casinos share the same goal: to profit from the large number of people who gamble at their casinos. They've orchestrated everything to consistently generate profits by advertising as attractively as possible to entice people to gamble.
Both online and offline casinos have the same goal, and as a gambler, I don't believe online casinos are inherently fraudulent. I don't know where the fraud stems from, especially since I've never even set foot in a brick-and-mortar casino.

In an online live casino you can also see the dealer, the wheel, dice, whatever, although not in person.

If not with a live game, you can choose online casinos which offer provably fair games and do the verification yourself. That's probably better than machines in brick-and-mortar casinos being guaranteed fair. In a land-based casino, there's no way you can confirm the results yourself being truly random.

When it comes to transparency, I think blockchain is better at it than audited machines in brick-and-mortar casinos.

Well, there are fewer physical casinos and they are usually huge brands that don't need to rig anything.

This applies to online casinos too. Yes there are a lot of new platform nowadays but there really are very few ones that are legit and reliable. Don't just play on any platform you see right away but go review them first and see what others say about it and check what are the credibilities of this platform.
