Offline versus online casinos  
Gambling have existed for thousands of years and will probably continue existing as "chasing the gains" is an immutable part of the human nature. No matter if playing just for fun, for the thrill or for the money there are millions of people worldwide who find enjoyment in the games of chance. The first casino ever was established in the middle of the early 17th century in Venice, Italy while the online gambling is a quite new activity which is normal noting the fact that the world wide web itself is very new. But anyway, there are many people doing both – online and offline gambling but still many gamblers find online gambling as something shady and do not dare practicing it. Thinking that way is a completely normal thing of course considering the fact that everything is handled by virtual machines and algorithms so the gameplay can be truly manipulated quite easily.

In fact the truth is completely different than what the most people think. The online casino gambling is much better than the offline and here I will explain why (The aim of this article is not to propagate gambling of course but just to clear some things regarding it). So, gambling online brings benefits to both sides – the owner of the casino and the players. You will ask why? Well, it is because the owners do not need to buy all those expensive installations like slot machines, roulettes, etc., they do not have to pay high monthly rents to the building where their casino is hosted (or respectively do not need to buy a building which will cost crazy money), they do not need to pay to all the staff needed for a regular casino like croupiers, bar tenders, waitresses, etc.  All they need to manage and pay for is just a software and a website.

On the other side – the fact that the online casinos have small expenses leads to the big bonuses that the online gamblers receive. There are casinos that pay thousands of US dollars 100% bonus right after the players make their first deposits. Nobody can deny that such amounts are great advantages for the gamblers. Another advantage is that almost all online casinos do not bind their users to play with real money. Everybody is free  to play with virtual money and to enjoy any of the games the casino offers for free. And that is what most people do – they use that feature so they can practice more and more until they become gambling professionals without spending a dime. And right after that they enter the big game.

Now you will probably ask yourself another question – "So what? Everything is manipulated by algorithms, those rascals can get my money any time they want". You are partially right but not really. There are many small companies robbing their users but there are also many large casino corporations that just can't afford that (I will not mention them here as my aim is not to advertise them now). When I say "they can't afford that" I mean they really can't not because they do not want to but because they just are not allowed to. There are hundreds of government gambling control boards, bureaus, departments, commissions or whatever else they are called that can just smash them. The softwares of the big casino providers are being regularly tested and examined by those controlling bodies so their existence is being menaced by any potential fluctuation in the probabilities the algorithms of their software generate.
