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.

Is it already happening? - I don't mean on the internet

And do you think this will be future of casinos?

Considering the capital hold with casinos, I dont think that the casinos would move from public ledgers to crypto keeping in mind their proneness to hacking. Crypto being decentralized and anonymous make them not suitable for traditional casinos environment.

It's not that we suggest land based casinos to change the way they operate and go online

Actually, that remains an open-ended question, so to speak

The truth is, we don't know what drives land-based casino operators, what is on their mind, and because the online gambling business seems to be on the rise (rather, it has been on the rise since 2013 and early PrimeDice times), we don't know for certain if these operators are not in fact behind some of these businesses. Do we know who is actually behind this or that casino other than some nickname over here? We don't know that, but given the financial leverage land-based casinos certainly have, they may have already been in the online gambling business and since long ago (keeping it quiet as they always do)
