which has better odds: physical casinos or online casinos?

the answer is online casinos. the reason for this is they have a lower cost for starting and operating the casino if it is online so there is not much needed to break even or get profit but physical casinos has a lot of costs just from the building, working employees, electricity or other maintenance needed.

maybe this is the reason why that online casinos are being seen as the better of the two but physical casinos now are just for the experience. if you are hoping to win big, stop going to physical casinos and instead open up your phone or your laptop and gamble there

Before I agree with you or not, I want to clarify that its important to separate two things: odds (the game's mathematics) and player experience.

If we're talking only about odds, you're absolutely right, and I wont question you... because online casinos do offer much higher RTPs, especially for slots... while a casino has a maximum return of 85 to 90%, on websites this easily ranges from 95 to 97%... and the difference is that they have much lower operating costs compared to brick-and-mortar casinos.

But, if we look at other games like roulette, blackjack, or craps... there's almost no difference because the house edge is practically the same, or am I mistaken?

Another thing... always look for regulated casinos, because unlicensed casinos can manipulate the odds without your knowledge and without oversight. In brick-and-mortar casinos, this is rarer because it's easy for an auditor to conduct a "surprise inspection" and catch the fraud.
