Online Gaming is Better Than BM because...

[DaveG39]

Having just spent a weekend at a BM casino, I can't wait until my latest deposit hits my NetSpend account so I can play at Inetbet again. Here's why...

1) Speed of play - Having only been to a BM casino once before, I'd forgotten how fast things happen. I missed opportunites because I was still sorting things out from my last result. Online the software sorts things out for you, and you don't click Roll/Spin etc. again until you are ready.

2) Automatic accounting - Trying to keep track in my head how much I was ahead or behind turned out to be much tougher than I had anticipated. Inevitably I would lose count and end up guesstimating. Online all I have to do is look in the corner where it says "Balance" and I know exactly where I stand. I can also leave in the middle of a session if necessary and I know it will be there, just as I'd left it, when I login again.

3) Inconsistant/Rude dealers - Online, you always get paid the same way every time you play a game, in a BM casino, this isn't always the case. I actually got into an arguement with a Baccarat dealer over this. I was playing at a $15 table, betting minimum (ie 3 $5 chips) each hand. I was also trying very hard to keep track of how much I was ahead by placing my profit chips in a seperate stack. At first, when I won, the dealer would stack 3 $5 chips next to my bet and I would collect as normal. Well part way through, he switched up, taking my bet and replacing it with a $25 and a $5 chip. Not wanting to play my profits, I eventually ran out of $5 chips and started asking for change for the $25's, after a couple times he refused and yelled "play those!" pointing to my profit stack. I ended up losing count of where I was and left after my winning streak ended. To be fair, every other dealer I came in contact with was very professional.

From the point of view of playing slots, the ease of switching games and playing what you want to play. Where I'm living there are only maybe 5 casinos (and they're always stupid busy) in the whole city, so trying to get to play the machine/game that you want to play is a hassle. There's a lineup at all the popular games, and if there isn't a lineup there's some boogerhead hogging 2 or 3 machines and putting reserved signs up on 2 or 3 more.

Thought of a couple more, and since I can't seem to edit anymore...

4) Cheat Sheets - Playing online allows you to use all the tips and tricks on sites like Wizard of Odds that ensure "perfect play" without having to either memorize them, or counting on the generousity of casino staff to let you use them at the tables.

5) Better Games/Odds - Not to many 9/6 JoB machines left in the BM world, and games like Pontoon and BlackJack Switch are i-gaming exclusives (I think).

Also its cheaper ... well especially if you have played at the only Casino in Copenehagen! Utter nitemare - heres to start before you place a bet :

85 kroner entry fee
men need a jacket (no jacket you have to hire one around 50 kroner)
drinks - massive price can be easily over 100 kroner per drink
They dont comp at all and i have spent 1000s their over the years.

Plus they have the Tronic i think its called where you have to tip the dealer
example you get a straight number of roulette and have say 25DK you have to give that chip to the dealer. If you dont it gets embarressing as they are trained to ask you each time. They never forget and if you have max bet like I did 1 time 1000Kroner on 0 hit and it was then 2 chips I had to pay th dealer lol. 2000 DK tip! They dont get any wages just a cut of the Tronic.
Upside they are very very pro - know the games -always super polite and deal correctly but hell it costs like nothing on earth - oh and if you want to get drunk make sure you have a huge bank roll just for the drinks alone


Oh and for those interested 10 danish kroner is approx $1.95 to $2.00 USD now you can do the maths yourself for the poor Scandanavian players
Oh and I forget to add if you withdraw cash at the Casino with a credit card they are huge fees that go with it not sure about 3 to 4% maybe higher I think and changing currency ... well all I can say is Ouch!

Online all the way for me now if / when ever im in Denmark anyhow!

What I like about Online Casinos is that I can play in my underwear... call the dealer any name I want and I don't end up in jail...

@DaveG39 - If a dealer ever treated me like that... I would call the Pit Boss and complain right in front of the rude dealer. The rude dealer would then be gone (or I would be) and the next dealer would almost certainly be much nicer...

Hiya: Since I live in Las Vegas, i get asked all the time why i play on-line.

1. I get to control the speed of the game. Roulette can be so SLOW in a real Casino...........

2. The spread between the betting limits is usually bigger. $1 min bet required, $500 max bet allowed on-line, vs $4 min required and $250 max allowed.

3. No other players to interfear with your play.

4. You can change games instantly, and NEVER have to wait because the table is full of other players.

5. All the games are there, and have better odds. When is the last time you saw 6/5 BJ on the internet?

and so on. Yea, you have to wait longer to get paid, but all the avove makes it worth it, imhop.

Good points. I don't low-ball like I used to, but, when I did, the low mins were a welcome sight (now I play bigger so QT fees don't become a major expense %-wise...one of the worst aspects of i-gaming).

When there's only one low-limit Baccarat table in a BM casino, you do appreciate the essentially infinate space online.

Playing online is cheaper for me too . I also like the games better . I have won more from online casinos than B&M anyday .

I know what you mean, but I realize now what I should've been doing, ie taking the $25 chips the dealer was giving me and puttung those in my profit stack and playing with the $5 ones. Still I obviously wasn't "getting it" at the time so the dealer could've explained it.
