I sure understand the point you are coming from, when it comes to gaining a gambling experience that is true and completely natural, then a land based casino is the best option for sure, nothing can beat that, seeing the slot machines physically and even operating them , but then again, when privacy becomes of utmost importance and it's a priority, online casinos step in at that time.

Personally, being an introvert and some one who hold my privacy to high esteem in terms of gambling, I prefer online casinos, if not for anything else, for the sake of my children, considering the kind of society we live in, where every gambler is considered to be irresponsible, it wouldn't make sense for my children to see me going on and out of a gambling casino every day, and my wife will also feel very disappointed in me, most especially when she ask for money, and I tell her I have non to give at that moment, she probably would assume I've gambled it all away again..

Right now, I do all my gambling online, and not even my wife knows I gamble, not to talk of my children, that's the kind of peace and privacy I want as a family man.
