Online casinos are more popular than physical casinos.at least, in the Czech Republic this is so. However, this trend has been going on worldwide for some time and there is an acceleration in this trend especially thanks to the corona crisis and the lockdowns. In New Zealand, the online gambling market also made huge steps, although of course this also mainly has to do with the regulation and legalization of online casinos in New Zealand.
The Czech Ministry of Finance stated that the income from online gambling was over $886 million while the income from physical casinos came to $706 million in 2021. 4 years earlier, these proportions were still completely different. in 2017, revenues from online gambling at an online casino were still $351 million. While the physical casinos still yielded $1.26 billion. A great contrast to the state of affairs in 2021.
This growth in popularity has, among other things, to do with the increase in quality in the casino games that the casino offers. Where a game of roulette used to be played at a computer table where a ball ended up in a place via a Random Number Generator. Anyone who has played this game knows that this is very different from a real roulette table. Nowadays there are all real tables that are streamed with a live stream connection. This allows you to play at your computer or on your smartphone on a real roulette table .
The same applies to live blackjack play. Previously, cards were also dealt on the basis of a computer generator. Nowadays, the cards are simply dealt by real croupiers and you just have a real casino experience as a result. Therefore, more and more advantages stick to taking a gamble at home. Except for the social aspect that a night out to the casino brings with it.
