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

[Hispo]

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

Only because you can see the dices, the wheel and the cards in front of you because you are in a brick and mortar casino, it does not mean there is nothing rigged being done behind the curtains, you know. Actually, behind the invention of internet and online casinos, there were small casinos in the old times who used tricked to scam their gamblers, you know.
I remember seeing a documentary film about some people who usually restore gambling furtinure, and in one occasion they found a roulette which was rigged by the house so they could control the color where the little ball landed on.
So, even though there are also scam casinos out there on the internet, thanks to technological advances it is possible to gamble on provably fair games and games who are open source games as well.

So, I would recommend you not to close yourself to both physical and online casinos, because both of them have something to offer to gamblers, according to their desires and needs.

I've heard some stories about how physical casinos in Las Vegas rig their gambling results to cheat gamblers but this isn't something that I have experienced so I can't really say that's true because it's against the rule of the casinos to cheat and I don't think that they would break their own regulations... Online casinos are not rigged expect you are talking about illegal casinos that cheat gamblers

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

It is very difficult for you to see a gambling platform that will be able to rig results, because they know that if caught, gamblers are going to give a bad review about them and this is going to affect their reputation as many coming across them may not like what they may see regarding them, this is not about a physical casino or online gambling casino, but the reputation a gambling platform must have to go along side with this, though i may not doubt there may be location base differences.

For slot machines I know they are better in online casinos simply because you have a huge choice, huge number of providers and different themed slots, something you will never find in a real physical casino. For dice, poker and blackjack maybe the physical casinos can be a bit better yet I doubt it very much. In physical casinos the max win is never or at least I have not seen a slot offering more than x10.000-x20.000 max multiplier while in software casinos we have seen number much higher than these and being hit by real people. Another thing I don't like about physical casinos, at least in Europe, a huge majority of these casinos are dominated by Novomatic slots which honestly it is no good provider compared to Play n GO, Pragmatic, Hacksaw or Nolimit City which dominate the online world. So overall software casinos regarding slot machines are much better than physical ones.

If you think physical casinos are more transparent than the online casinos why are people still making used of the online casino to gamble?

Because if you like a town like Isabella in MN you have to drive 20 miles to the gas station, what do you think the trip back and forth to a casino might be?

Only because you can see the dices, the wheel and the cards in front of you because you are in a brick and mortar casino, it does not mean there is nothing rigged being done behind the curtains, you know.

Old times...
Real casinos are way more regulated, prone to inspections, and have a lot more people involved in the daily operations,  more employees who could catch wind of anything shady going on.
Online casinos? They can rig a few games with just two tech guys in the loop. Try pulling that in a physical casino and you’d need to get almost everyone onboard, including the same security staff trained to spot cheating, and they will notice something irregular.
And let’s be honest, no one’s risking prison for a small bribe. Once you start adding more people and increasing the bribes and pie shares, it’s just not worth it. You’re better off looking for another opportunity altogether.

That's the reason we have so many online casinos and so few real life, it's a pain in the ass to manage them.
After all, Trump bankrupted 4 casinos...

For me, it doesn't matter if it's online or physical casinos because casinos either online or physical is all about earn money from people who are gambling. It's not like everyday a person who gambles in a casino will win. Even if you total all the money you lose and money you is that it won't even have the same amount and you may be able to win back the money you lose by winning huge amount of money but the chances are very low because casinos are business to begin with.

Both online and land-based casinos have their own pros and cons. But honestly, there’s no rigged involved as long as the online casino you’re playing at has a good reputation. Sometimes we lose, and we can’t really blame the online or physical casino for that. Gambling is a business after all it’s designed to make a profit. So in the end, both types of casinos are pretty much the same, and there’s no foul play going on.

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".

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.

The fraud topics comes from the frustrated gamblers that have lost a lot of money and that's due to their irresponsible gambling. They're making casino games rigged and fraud based on their experience because they can't accept the fact that they've lost a lot of money. And so, if someone calls out a casino without proper forum and they're only throwing their ad hominem on them, it only means that they've lost and instead of proving their argument. They're only throw their frustration and accuses that these casinos have rigged their games.

Both online casinos and physical casinos can be manipulated. In physical casinos the machines can be tampered through the strings or chips in the machine making it to go the way they want it while in an online casinos the developers only need to tamper the codes with an algorithm that will make chances of winning in the casinos limited. Well there are casinos that are fair and you as a gambler should make your own research before using any of them. If you dont like the casinos feel free to find the ones you comfortable with.

Are cases of machines being rigged in physical casinos frequent? I think they are very rare or such cases are exceptions. I think offline casinos are more oriented on customers return that online casinos, and that is why they prefer to operate fair. They all are in profit anyway. Its way much expensive to start an offline casino than online. So I cant even imagine what should be the amount of scam, that it will cover all expenses on opening a casino, because if scam reveals, business will be closed. I mean that no one would scam gambler for thousands, if it cost tens millions to open a casino?

[Julien_Olynpic]

I don't think online casinos are more rigged than land-based casinos. First, we have to resort to averages, which is very difficult. There are various elements of deceit or rigging in any form of casino. But online casinos, like any other online establishments, are protected from fraud by the institution of reputation. Indeed, no casino can ignore its reputation if it wants to exist in the long term. Moreover, reputation is one of the main intangible assets. Therefore, we should not demonize online casinos too much.

From articles that I have read about offline casinos, I remember that they were turning more digitalized. Roulette spins automatically and dealer no longer throws ball and can influence on result. Card games have shuffle machines making it fully random. Slot machines have special people who do maintenance. I think all or most games are digitalized and there is a company that does maintenance. Casino only provide space, gambling service, manage finances. If somebody even tries to rig something, its a maintenance company. But that is going to cost them reputation, license. I dont thin anybody need all that business problems, when money flows like a river in any case.

In fact everyone if doing gambling activities depends on their own understanding, it can be said that everyone experiences experience of online gambling and in physical gambling is different, it certainly cannot be equated with others.

I personally before I knew online gambling, of course, I got to know the physical casino house earlier, but my experience was normal, no cheating, I got paid and lost.
Online casino, from my experience more and less 5 years no one is harmed for me the casino that I use at this time, I won at paying and losing the same as physical casino, so I don't know the system in Vegas because I haven't been there.

So my experience for the two casinos that you mean for me is the same, for now I am still normal and safe.

I'm really happy to hear that physical casinos are now digitalized so that nobody can personally manipulate the outcome of games. It won't be in the best interest of casinos whether physical or online to rig their games because if it becomes known it'll dent their reputation and most gamblers will not patronize them. I think that the established house edge should be enough for them, it is a fact that it's very hard for any gambler to continue being profitable on the long term. Reputation should matter when it comes to casinos, a casino that is trustworthy will last long in the industry.

The truth is that what you think you are seeing right in front of you may not be as you see it. So long as it's a kind of system operating it, it can be rigged, whether it is online or offline. However, the online gambling system can be more rigged than the physical ones, and some of the ones you have access to in physical casinos are now purely electronic. This means that they can also be easily rigged regardless of where you are accessing them. It is the question of how you are accessing them.

The first thought that comes to my mind is "don't they charge an entrance fee to the physical casinos in Vegas?".
It would just be logical, because every tourist would be able to constantly walk around and just look at all the casinos, and the owners of this one wouldn't be able to make any profit from such a guy. Isn't that right? So it seems to me that in Vegas it's not enough to just come and place your bets in the casino, especially if you don't have a lot of money. I think that only rich people have a place there.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Online casinos, especially the popular ones with millions of customer all around the world, earned their reputation because they don't rig games, even if maybe they sometimes do it, they are unnoticed and people have already trusted them to be fair. So, if you are gambling on a trusted reputable casino, you will have some confident that the game will not be rigged. Even in physical casino, rigging would be avoided because the casino don't know who might be observing and once it's detected that they are rigging game and being exposed, it will destroy their reputation.

In offline casino you get emotions. You get show. In online casino you just one on one with your phone/PC. Visiting offline casino you visit wonderful show. And pay money for it. You don`t calculate anything, you just getting fun.
You chances to win are the same. But playing online - you can be calm. In offline casino - you make lots of mistakes due to emotions you get.
But if you have an opportunity - it would be nice to visit offline casino, i don`t know anybody, who didn`t like it.

I have experience playing in both offline and online casinos. What can I say about this? For me, offline casinos are a completely different user experience (than online casinos). In offline casinos, I was most attracted to roulette. Before me, roulette was the embodiment of a person's struggle with Chaos, with Luck, with Chance. 💥

As a child, I read many books by the American writer Jack London. Many of his heroes (pioneers, explorers, gold prospectors) loved to play roulette. That's why I always dreamed of visiting a real offline casino and playing roulette (it was my childhood dream). My second love is poker. In good offline casinos, you can play poker with other players. When I hear the word "poker", I immediately remember the main character of Jack London's novel "Time Waits for No One". By the way, this novel very well reveals people's motivation to gamble.  If anyone hasn't read this book, then you should definitely read it.

In my opinion, visiting an offline casino can be considered a cultural event, that is, it is comparable to going to the cinema, theater or an art exhibition. It is a great place not only for gambling, but also for aesthetic pleasure (usually offline casinos are very beautifully decorated, sometimes concerts and other cultural events are held right there for players). 🏛️

Online casinos are a completely different kind of gambling. For example, I really like betting on sports in online casinos. This is a completely different world, where my love for sports and my love for analytical work merge. I really love real life, offline life, but online life in the virtual space is also necessary for a person of the 21st century. This fully applies to online casinos and the gambling they offer to players. As for honesty and the absence of fraud, in this regard, in my opinion, offline casinos and online casinos are approximately equal.💫

Technically I think it's easier to rig an online casino especially if it's a small one that not many people know about. But not in the big ones, besides they don't need to do it at all, since they make a lot of money simply by operating normally.

Another thing is the perception. I have met people working in physical casinos and there are also people who complain to the dealer as if he was shuffling wrong or doing something weird on purpose.

I believe all of these are assumptions.  It is hard to say anything without a proven fact.  We all know both the online and land based casino are here to make business and generate money for the owner, that is why there is this house edge thing.

As far as I know, machines used in land-based casinos are tested since there is always a regular audit and testing made by the regulatory board to ensure that casinos are not rigging their machine.  I believe the same thing is done in an online casino.  Also, I believe casinos have the duty of submitting a report on their game statistics, and if that was way off, they will be suspected of rigging their machine and possibly penalized by revoking their license.

So I think casinos will think twice before rigging their machines.  It isn't easy to get a license to operate and they need to spend thousands if not millions of dollar on their promotions and advertisement.
