Online Versus Offline

August 17, 2012

Real world casinos, for the purpose lets refer to them as an offline casino, are one of the most charismatic icons of luxury life. What James Bond movie would be complete with Mr. Bond facing an opponent over a high stakes game in a plush offline casino? This says a lot about the type of people who enjoy visiting an offline casino, as it is as much about the social aspect as it is about the gambling.

In contrast, online casino players, especially those who enjoy online slots, miss out on the social aspect. They are happy to sit in their home and spin their favorite video slots in peace and quiet. As side from the social differences, how is does playing video slots compare to offline slot equivalents?

Well, firstly let us talk about the pay outs. If you happen to be visiting a large offline casino in somewhere such as Las Vegas, then the progressive jackpot wins are likely to be as big, if not bigger than those paid by video slots. Many of the major offline casino operators provide networked progressive jackpots in the same way that online casinos do.

However, whilst we are discussing money, let us not forget the additional overheads of siting an offline casino. Firstly, there are travel expenses, which depending where you live could be quite high. Secondly, there is the cost of refreshments and beverages in an offline casino. You cannot just pop in to the kitchen and fix yourself a snack straight out of the refrigerator! You will need to buy food and drink inside the offline casino.

Overall, we have to say that comparing online slots with offline slots, and playing at an online versus offline casino is like comparing apples and oranges, similar yet too different to make a good comparison. There will always be people that enjoy dressing up in their best clothes and visiting an offline casino as a social event. There flip side of this is that there will also always be people who prefer to stay at home and play video slots, either for the comfort this gives them, the savings it makes, or simply because there is no offline casino close by for them to visit. However, if you enjoy online slots, you might find it fun to visit a real casino at least once, and try out offline slots, they can be a lot of fun!
