Positive developments?

You know what? Come to think of it, you're right thinking that slots are better online than in the land based casinos. Like Slotswizard said, you have all slots at your disposal online (unless you live in a screwed up jurisdiction like the States). If you happen to live on some island in the North Sea, you can still play "The Price is Right", "Thunderstruck," or whatever you want.

And it's relatively true that the payouts are better - from personal experience, I've had much better payouts online than in Vegas or whatever.

I have to agree...Sometimes it's frustrating having to play $15/minimum Blackjack with a 2 hand limit. I love 5 handed Microgaming BJ with $1 minimum. Also, online you don't have to hear these clueless people complain about "card flow". "Oh no, you just hit when you weren't supposed to, you screwed up this table." I play strictly Basic Strategy but I've witnessed people threaten other people because they didn't play BS. Maybe these people didn't know or just wanted to play their style. It's their money. Not to mention, you're dead in the long run without counting. Also, living in a state that is as anti gambling as it gets, (except for that darn lottery ), means I have to travel hours to get to a casino. Thank God for subsidized bus trips . I think online has go the lands beat overall. Lower limits,better payouts, no jerks to deal with.

I agree.

I do like land based casinos, I like making a vacation out of it and stroll around and see shows and such, I like the resort atmosphere and spas and all.

But when it comes to gambling I much prefer online. I have noticed that Vegas is releasing new video slots at an increased rate, but while fun they don't payout like online by far. Playing at home is far more comfortable, and I spend a lot less money. And as said above, one is more in control of bet sizes and such.
