| Real Casino or Online Casino,
which is for you? |

| With the world returning to normal in most countries it is time to start making decisions again about
your gambling. You thought you had answered the question of where you are going to gamble in 2020 and 2021 when you couldn't go out, but you need to think
about it again. The point of evaluating the situation again is that you may have been in a completely new and strange situation when you last thought about it
and its better to review it again when your life is back to normal.
Gambling Commission data found that there was a huge switch in behaviour for many people who had never gambled online before and its those
that should spend time considering the situation again. |

You like casino games and you are going to play them so the question is how are you going to do it and the second
question is how are you going to keep your hobby within limits that make sense to your life. The first is a matter of weighing the pros and cons or real world
against the virtual one which is what we are going through. The second is for another article.
The
Experience
In countries where gambling is legal most of the population are within a reasonable drive of a good old fashioned casino and they are
now pretty to easy to gain access to with membership either instant or gone completely. The tactile nature of the casino experience, the touch of baize, the
sound of chips being stacked, the smell of late night drinking and the ever present background music, make the real world casino a winner over the
online casino. They are two very different things.
Convenience
As you are able to play online everywhere that there is a reliable internet connection then there simply is no
contest so that the virtual casino option wins easily on this one. You can argue that its better if casino play is not so convenient but that is not part of
our question. Unless you live next door to a physical casino then its easier to play online. You can also play at any time of the day and switch casinos at any
time. Online wins.
Safety
This is a complex issue involving many hazards of different types.
However in a bricks 'n' mortar casino you can only play with actual cash or use a non-credit card to buy chips or machine bank value. They are not going to
steal your money or your identity and they are going to pay you when you win and instantly. In contrast, online play comes with all the digital risks of the
modern world and certain knowledge that there are people out there to take advantage of any weakness. Real world wins.
Control
A critical issue and very important. Now it is a political issue because there is panic amongst the government types who
see votes being won or lost if they don't take action on the matter. They have no idea of what the matter is. But each individual does and despite all the self
exclusion rules and methods that be applied to online gambling the truth is you can always gamble someway if you really want to and online punting makes it
very easy. It is just easier to not go to a gambling house or be prevented from playing in one. Real world wins. |

Choice
Clearly the virtual world has unlimited variety
and the old fashioned one can't keep up. Online you can play every gambling game ever invented and there will be new ones tomorrow. Online wins.
Conclusion
With step-by-step analysis the real world gambling experience wins out. But the truth of the
matter is that the convenience of online play and the ubiquitous nature of mobile devices means that the online casino wins. |
