Topic: Casino/gambling center near an institution of learning? (Read 539 times)

But no country allows gambling businesses near educational institutions if there is this rule, it is certain that students will be influenced by gambling because of the close radius that is easily accessible to them, this rule may be tightened again so that no one enforces it.

I don't think this will be better, but at least we don't agree with it because it is negative.

Imagine a casino near an educational institution, what happens to the students of that institution, because not all students are good there must be acquaintances where they will go to the casino.

The presence of a casino and an educational institution nearby can show a very correct assessment of this educational institution. You just need to understand that the entire worldview of young people should come from the family and the educational body in which they study. A competent explanation of the fact that a young body is very weak to cope with emotions during play, as well as what a passion for games can lead to, falls entirely on schools and parents. And in this case, wherever the casino is located, students must conclude what they were taught. But if there is no upbringing, then, if desired, online games nowadays can be found on any phone without leaving home.

And that's the start where every distraction will be made there. I don't know but there might be places where every distraction for students are there.

Aside from casinos, host clubs, etc. you know what I mean with those. But if the public officials won't allow that to happen, they won't see those things.

That's why they have to be strict with all policies before giving permits to these businesses and establishments.

I tried to read various community responses on the first page, in general they stated that it was not good. I would like to add, more precisely, it is not recommended to set up a gambling center in the middle of a student area or a casino close to a faculty or learning institution. In my view, it's not just about the positive or negative. However, the meaning is broader than that, there are many indicators that can provide a basis for understanding why gambling places are not recommended in student environments, schools, faculties, or those related to students who are studying.

Gambling is entertainment in this era, but it is not recommended for students. Apart from not being able to make their own money, I mean in general their status is students, this type of entertainment is more precisely placed in one location. I don't know for sure, but for example Las Vegas. Honestly, even though I've never visited it. whether there are schools there or not, but what we know is that Las Vegas is a famous gambling place. is located in one of the places that is more about entertainment culture, it even attracts visitors from abroad. well, what I said is enough for the OP's question in this thread. I don't need to mention it, my friends' posts have clearly answered the reasons and consequences of why it is not recommended that a casino be located close to an institution or place where students are supposed to seek knowledge and study. although in reality, someone can gamble with conditions based on permitted age limits.

I see student as a very young person. A person that spends most of his time in gadgets. Imo students will have an idea to try gambling after looking on ads online, rather than pay attention to gambling banner or casino name near their school or university. Notice how kids walk and look either on each other while they talk, or look on the mobile screens. They might not even notice that casino near them. Also I think that offline visual advertisement does not work or effect young generation. I mean when was the last time you see something on the billboard or a poster on a showcase, and went buying/trying it?

Yes, students are really absorbing a lot of stuff that is around them in their brains, and having a casino might end up being a very bad thing for them.

Usually companies give their products samples for free to students so that they get hooked and when then later they start working they make the company buy those products they are already used to.

Similar to gambling, if they see ads when they are students they might get addicted.

Many students will be tempted to playing gambling because they can go to that casino after they ends their study at that day. They can playing gambling without anyone knows because when they go with their friends, they will keeps their mouth and not telling to other people, especially their parents. That will makes those students forget that they must school and not playing gambling.

If they use their school fee to playing gambling, that will not be a good idea because their school fee can be lost in gambling and they can't pay their school. The government must deny if casino wants to build their business near to the school or institution of learning so there will be no students playing gambling. Parents and teachers must educate them the danger of playing gambling and the risks behind of gambling so their students will not trying to playing gambling.

Maybe that building wasn't allowed to operate with that kind of businesses under it and it has to be reported. But then, if they were given permits by the local government there then it only means that they don't care for the welfare of the students.

It is a good thing as a protection for the students. I've studied in a public school when I was still there and there are measures like that and only the students were the ones making their own gambling games not from an establishment.

Well you're right, sometimes what is related to Children is a learning process, when they are not spoken to about gambling they can surprise you if they tell you that they saw it on the internet through advertising, or else, another child talks to them about it, and not only about gambling but also other topics that they should not handle for their age, sometimes one says that it is Preferable that they hear it from one's own voice as a parent rather than Someone who is more incautious in speaking to them, because for them it is Absolutely new, and that makes them very curious , sometimes their supervision is quite difficult, and even more so now that we are in a world where there areFreedoms of all kinds.

Yes, different countries have different rules about it but in general you are right, there is some kind of distance enforced.

I think that is a good thing.

Otherwise, the casinos will be bloody everywhere.

That definitely is something in several countries only. Because next to my school, that was located between 9 floor houses in suburb, in basements, there were slots based casinos and 24/7 working liquor stores. I am pretty sure that the owners of those places would not mind if a school kid would buy alcohol or gamble. However, the lower class contingent that was always around such places was a good example that we must study and work hard if we dont want to be like them.

IIRC, there has to be rules about these institutions that there should some kilometer radius far away with these kind of establishments from the universities that they won't allow them to establish businesses like this near to them.

I'm not sure how it works in some other countries but I guess that the local government there are wise enough and understands the cons of this kind of business that are near to their students.

Because they'd surely be affected on it if they're so close to it and their visibility is just on the naked eyes of these students if they passes by.

Even before the addiction, it can be disastrous to students. Because most student gets tempted and think that they can multiply their money so they use their school fee for the semester to try their luck, and in most cases, they fail and lose it all. I think it can be done by the school to write to the government mentioning the negative effects of having a casino just next to a school.

Are you talking about schools? Every offline casinos has a security guard and that person will never let schools kids gamble or even in. In addition an object of interest of school kids are far away from gambling. University students might be more interested in gambling, as they get their first access of freedom of adults life, however I doubt that students would have free money for gambling. Instead, students would rather grab a beer during breaks if there is a store nearby (that what students used to do during lunch breaks when I was in university).

Legally there is nothing wrong with having casinos around institution of learning but I think it should depend on the level of education we are talking about. If it is university, the effect will be lower because the students would have come of age and can manage their time and resources better so that they don't face major distraction as a result of gambling. But for lower level of education, having gambling around them might pose serious dangers. So if I have to give my opinion, I will suggest that casinos should not be located around younger children environment.

I see nothing wrong with that and even if students go there and gamble, it's not the fault of the casino or the owner of the casino for opening it near a learning institution. Let me tell you that a person who doesn't want to gamble won't do it even if they have a casino in front of their house, and someone who is into it would travel miles only to get to a casino so that they can gamble, so it all depends on a person and what they wish and want to do.

Students shouldn't get easily influenced by such things if they have sensible personalities, only those with lose personality and not having the ability to think critically about things, especially about their future, would get into such things because they wouldn't care about the negative consequences they might have to face because of this.

I don't have to think much... In Serbia, according to the law, the distance between casinos and schools cannot be less than 200 meters. There are several cases where this was violated... but does that serve any purpose when there are advertisements everywhere, is 200 enough?


I think an even bigger problem is that there is no real education about what gambling really is, at least not here in my country. It's all on an individual level, most learn from their mistakes... it's probably something that should be taken much more seriously.

That's because you're a good person.
But many casino owners don't care at all: their casinos will be visited by students, or hard workers, or someone else. Such casino owners do not care that students are often yesterday's schoolchildren, and that their psyche is still considered childish.
After all, if everyone remembers himself at the age of 18, he will understand that at this age his head is empty, students do not want to study or do something serious. Students want to have fun, get quick results and believe in miracles, which are traps in the adult world.

Casino/gambling center near an institution of learning? Yeah I don't agree if there is a new casino been built near school I mean brooo it is obvious even tho maybe some student cant get entry to that casino but still some students might still curious about casino and if the big university kick in it would be more dangerous in my opinion because their age might above 21+ so they are legal to entry the casino at that point.

If I the casino Owner Im not gonna put a gambling center near institution of learning

At this point, what happens to the students at the institute in regards to gambling is a self choice, because as educated persons, they ought to know more, the implications of getting addicted. It doesn't need to be taught in class  before students of high institution should be able to understand its effect if they get addicted. Things like this are common these days as casino are only trying to get good locations where they can easily get bettors to patronise them especially with the fact that the young ones gambling more than the aged due to curiosity and urge to make money swiftly. And this another reason why self discipline should be taught at home, because we never know the kind of peer pressure they might be passing through at school or anywhere beyond our watch.
