I mainly play poker, and I can say that the difference between playing online and playing live is huge. But what about casino games? Is the difference just as big there?
I've only played at online casinos. I'd like to try playing live, but I don't have that opportunity at the moment. How big is the difference between playing at an online casino and playing at a live casino?
What are the advantages of playing live, and where does the player have a better chance of making money?

As you said it already, the difference is HUGE.

Imagine playing at a casino where there is only one Slot machine, no other people walking around or playing, no noises, nothing, just you and that single machine on which you're spinning. That would be playing home, online.

Playing live has its advantages of course. 1st of all, you're not home. You can consider it a night out or even visiting a small city you've never seen before, you can walk around, have a drink at a bar, dinner at a nice restaurant or watch some kind of show.
And honestly, though it's not that easy, yes you have better chances of winning some money than online, let alone the free drinks you can get as long as you're sitting at a machine or playing any other table game, and I don't mean strictly alcohol, you can have coffee, tes, water, juice and any soft drink you like.
 
I have never played live in a casino . Only online . But I have read the news , innumerable articles in the internet , I Watched videos . I think love is better , it's less shady than online , where you don't even know if even one player wins . In some casinos that I played in the past I had the feeling that RTP was almost zero lol
 
2 different experiences. Live is a lot slower. Meals, restroom breaks, drinks, are things you need to plan. Covering your cards, reading players, disguising your hands, and figuring out chips in the pot are all on you.
 
odds are slightly better online for most table games (better rules for blackjack, single zero roulette, etc). In a real casino the minimums are way higher now, like $15-$25 a hand easy. Main perk of live is the atmosphere and pacing—you play way fewer hands per hour so your money usually lasts longer even with the worse odds, plus you get the free drinks lol

I think OP was asking about casino games and the difference from live to online. You are definitely talking about poker here in your post.
 
The difference is noticeable. But if you play live and also in the company of friends, it's definitely more fun 🙂
 
I’ve mostly played online too, so I’m curious about the live experience myself.
For me, the biggest difference would probably be the atmosphere and interaction, while the game’s basic odds shouldn’t change just because it’s live.
