Welcome To
Local Casino!
A locals casino is
a casino designed primarily to attract residents of the area in which it
was built rather than tourists or vacationers. The term is most commonly
associated with Nevada casinos, where it is used in order to
differentiate casinos in the tourist areas from locals casinos.
Overview
Locals casinos can
range from locations with fewer than 15 machines such as supermarkets,
convenience stores, Gas Stations, bars or lounges with no lodging to
resorts that have hundreds of machines and hotels with hundreds of
rooms. Larger locals casinos in the Las Vegas metropolitan area include
the Gold Coast, South Point, Orleans, Ellis Island Casino & Brewery, and
Green Valley Ranch Resort.
Attracting
residents
In order to
attract residents to gamble, locals casinos try to differentiate
themselves from tourist-oriented casinos to benefit gamblers. For
example, locals casinos usually have a different mix of games or offer
games not typically found in tourist-oriented casinos in the area, such
as bingo. Additionally, they offer table games with lower minimum bets,
as well as lower denomination slot machines and video poker.
In addition, table
games rules are frequently adjusted to decrease the house advantage, and
the payout percentage on slot and
video poker machines is increased;
locals casinos are well-known for offering more full pay video poker
machines or even machines that pay more than 100%.
Locals casinos will typically offer comps, such as free meals at the
casino's restaurants, at a higher rate than tourist-oriented casinos.
Additionally, many locals casinos have promotions such as payroll check
cashing, frequently accompanied by some type of free play bonus, to get
patrons into the casino.
This is usually expanded with special promotions to cash Internal
Revenue Service tax refund checks in Nevada.
Locals casinos often act as community centers and frequently include
non-gambling entertainment such as bowling alleys, movie theaters, ice
skating rinks, and occasionally day care centers.
Online Casinos
Online casinos,
also known as virtual casinos or internet casinos, are online versions
of traditional ("brick and mortar") casinos. Online casinos enable
gamblers to play and wager on
casino games
through the Internet.
Online casinos generally offer odds and payback percentages that are
comparable to land-based casinos. Some online casinos claim higher
payback percentages for slot machine games, and some publish payout
percentage audits on their websites. Assuming that the
online casino is using
an appropriately programmed random number generator, table games like
blackjack have an established house edge. The payout percentage for
these games are established by the rules of the game.
Reliability and trust issues are commonplace and often questioned. Many
online casinos lease or purchase their software from well-known
companies like Microgaming, Realtime Gaming, Playtech, and CryptoLogic
Inc in an attempt to "piggyback" their reputation on the software
manufacturer's credibility. These software companies either use or claim
to use random number generators to ensure that the numbers, cards or
dice appear randomly.
