Question by barbhuge: Does anyone know if any of the online casinos also have land-based casinos?
I’m looking for an online casino that I can trust, and if the online casino is a regular casino as well, that would be a good start. What other factors should I consider in choosing an online casino?

I loved this question! You really have to investigate before you do anything.

The rest of the article is on the link below.

Online casino websites contend they are legal because they have gotten a license in one or more jurisdictions. The online casinos thus contend that they are legal gaming enterprises, not illegal gambling operations. Being licensed supposedly adds legitimacy and credibility to the business that has received a license. To my mind licensing should imply investigating and assuring the legitimacy of the licensed business and ongoing regulation of the licensee.

Is there substance to the licensing process in the jurisdictions that grant licenses to online casinos? What is the cost of the license? How much effort does it take to get a license? Are there any meaningful standards that have to be met to get a license? Is ample time provided to conduct a background check? Is the licensee required to prove its legitimacy? Is there any ongoing regulation and oversight by the licensing authority. Here is some background on the licensing process in Nevada and New Jersey, jurisdictions we know thoroughly investigate licensees. Information on the processes in the jurisdictions that license online casinos is not available, but some inkling of what it must comprise can be discerned from the costs involved in obtaining those licenses and the time it takes to get them.

In Nevada and New Jersey the applicant for an unrestricted gaming license can expect the process to take one to two years. The applicant has the burden of proving to the licensing authorities that it is legitimate and has the necessary skills available to operate a casino in compliance with the law. The applicant must pay the costs of the independent investigation undertaken to test the accuracy and complete truthfulness of its responses to the myriad questions answered in filling out the application. These costs routinely amount to between 0,000 and ,000,000. There are public hearings to delve into personal and business transgressions admitted in the application or turned up in the investigation. These amounts do not take into consideration the legal fees that each applicant incurs in getting help and advice in connection with the process.

Best of luck!

Question by Freddie F: Are there any land-based casinos that give new player cash bonuses lie online casinos?
I’m going to Vegas in a couple weeks and would like to know if there are any casinos that give new players hundreds of dollars in matching play like the online casinos. Does that happen, or do they just comp you after you’ve played for awhile?

Question by Kiper: How do I know if the online casino table games pay out the same or better than land-based casinos?
I’m looking for a fair online casino.

Answer by Juanita D
Theoretically, online casino table games should pay out equal to land based casinos over time.

To be sure you are getting a fair deal, you should only play with online casinos that are audited by third parties. You can view such a list with links to the actual reports at http://www.ranked-online-casinos.com/payout-percentages.html

On a monthly basis, payouts will vary from a land-based casino to an online casino, but over millions and millions of hands, they are roughly the same. When it comes to slots and video poker, online versions are usually better. Most land-based casinos do not offer the full pay video poker games any more, while many online casinos do. You should educate yourself on the paytables and make informed choices prior to playing video poker any where, online or land-based. The lone exceptions to this are casinos with Microgaming software. All Microgaming casinos carry full pay video poker by default.
