In the old days, the only way to play roulette, blackjack, slot machines, or bingo was by going to an on-site casino. Slots can also be found in bars. With the appearance of the internet, casinos decided to take the digital step and launch their online casino proposals. There are approximately 40 gaming operators, with a license granted by the General Directorate for the Regulation of Gaming. It is expected that another casino will join the list in 2020, including the international giant GIG that will land during the first quarter. We are going to list the (dis) advantages of physical casinos and online casinos.
1- Location
Perhaps one of the main advantages of online casinos is location. Thanks to a mobile device, the user can play wherever and whenever he wants. It does not matter what time you connect or where you are, although it is really important to have a good internet connection. However, to face-to-face casinos, you have to move, and sometimes the mechanics or the hours are not entirely favorable.
2- Promotions
Currently, online casinos offer various and varied promotions to attract new users and retain the usual players. In this case, on-site casinos have nothing to do with online casinos. In the physical casinos of any city, there are no irresistible promotions for the players. Without a doubt, the best thing about promotions is the possibility of playing without spending real money, trying different strategies thanks to the trial mode. You can try your luck thanks to no deposit bonuses.
3- Atmosphere of play
If there is something that an online casino will never be able to achieve, it is the unique and special atmosphere that is created in face-to-face casinos. On-site casinos have something that catches from minute zero. It is a mixture of everything: the game on the move, players to whom fortune smiles and those who do not, dealers in their purest form, the different game modalities, the possibility of relating and socializing … In this sense, the online casino does not. It has that warmth, and it’s colder and a loner.
4- Diversity of play
In this case, the online casino wins by win even if we compare it to Las Vegas. Regardless of the size of the casino, it cannot host the millions and millions of online games out there today. There are hundreds of software operators, and each of them has thousands of hundreds of other games. Microgaming has 850 slots, can you imagine a casino with only 850 slot machines only from this operator? Impossible, right?
5- Payment methods
In relation to the payment methods, in the physical casinos, you must take the chips you are getting with you, and to the room, you must go through the box office to exchange them for money. It depends on the money you earn is much faster and with fewer conditions than in online casinos. It is true that in the latter, everything is digitized. However, it is necessary to read the terms and conditions and know the withdrawal methods. It is becoming more agile and simpler.
