Re: Bitcoin and casinos

I have worked for a few years in a casino and I couldn't help but imagine that people should be able to gamble with bitcoin

Truth be told, I've never been to a real casino

I mean a real one, not some room with slot machines and similar stuff. But from what I know (okay, from what I've seen in the movies) people don't use cash there directly. Casinos use gaming chips, i.e. small discs used instead of paper money and coins. Then you can redeem the chips (provided you have any left, of course) for real cash. To me, Bitcoin would be cumbersome to exchange these chips for in these circumstances

There are already tons of casino games that we could play using crypto you only need to know the website.
And there are also some people who use some online games to gamble and have fun for example tongits go and other kinds of apps too

OP asks about real casinos (think Las Vegas here)

Even though it is possible to gamble with bitcoin, those chips can be permanent. It would not have been reasonable to wait for minutes for the BTC transfer to be approved to play at a casino.

I was thinking more of gambling with bitcoin on slots like you would sit in front of the slot, type in your wallet address and start gambling. I guess for table chips it wouldn't make sense yet. But what do you think about future? I'm wondering if there will be demand for that..

I think you are putting the security of your wallet in a high level of risks with that particular action. Because if I'm not mistaken, you cannot access your wallet without the keys, so might as well you will type in your private keys. I dont think of any better security than using your own device to access your wallet, not the other machines specially in a gambling area. Just my two cents.

Btw, the topic tackles more on gambling, how about moving these in gambling discussions. You might get a lot of answers to your inquiry, theres a lot of gamblers in that particular thread.
