I like that I can play whenever I want, even in the middle of the night if I am so inclined. It could also be good for people who are anti-social because land casinos tend to be very social.

Online casinos are good for those who do not live near any land-based casinos. Also, it is very convenient to play online, and you can do it anytime of day.

It might not polish the skills of a fairly good player, but for someone who is new to a game, then playing online can be ideal. It's a good way to learn as there are often free versions of the game that you wish to learn.

I play online, perhaps it's a habit that shifted. I used to play soltaire and spider and hearts on my computer between homework, and then I started playing a quick game of poker or some online roulette. It was fun to actually make some money (sometimes ;) ) instead of just waste time.

Does it really polish your skills though? I've played poker and blackjack handhelds and online and when I sat down at a real table it seemed like the cards just wouldn't come the way they do in the digital world.

Plus the pressure of the dealer being there changed they way my head worked I think.

I agree, gambling online has its advantages if you're not using it as a social night out. Its cheap, effective, and unbiased. Its also great to polish your skills before spending the cash to hit a real casino.

The costs of gambling online are less, because I don't have to pay fuel for driving there, I don't have to pay parking and I can eat out of my own fridge. Gives me more money to play with, and that's always a plus.

All those are pretty interesting replies and thank you. I personally stayeds away from anything except slots out of fear of looking (and proving..) like an idiot. I finally played my first few hands of blackjack a year or so ago and now when I go to Vegas I always throw away a few bucks on the tables. For me the Onlines hold no fear. And that's at the heart of gambling, I think.

I think some people just want to go ahead and play without the hassle that some places deal with. I know some women when pregnant wont go to a live place but will play online instead.

The land based casino is certainly better, but its fun to play when you can't get to the casino also. There are plenty of non-casino games online that you don't cost a penny and won't ever win you a penny, but what the fun in that!

Some people actually play just because they enjoy the game and don't need all the trappings of live play. Personally, I'd much rather play in a land-based casino as I enjoy the crowds and hoopla there. To me it's all part of the entertainment value.

Why online casinos? Where's the thrill of the crowd? what's the attraction? Where's the pressure of the dealer getting ready to take the last of your cash? Isn't that wht gambling is all about? How about the shout of the crowd when you hit your number on the craps table? Is there anything even close to that online?
