Do you think having a casino or any gambling center close to an institution of learning, will influence the students somehow or should I say be a positive or negative reinforcement on them, in anyway?

Thoughts?

No casino should be anywhere close to an institution of learning, this would only push students to the lifestyle, there's a very high chance that the students will engage in it, and we know how disastrous a f detrimental it can be to them, they will loose focus and might even be on the path to academic failure, once a student becomes a gambling addict a lot of things might start happening, a friend of mine dropped out of school due to this lifestyle... Casinos near an institutions of learning is a bad idea

Yeah people have different but I guess sometime peer pressure could contribute something that those good people will be influence to follow what other people do. We see that exist since there are people who want to ride up somethings they don't want to be left out by trend so even if they don't hang out much on those people doing this activity but if he see that people do this are enjoying then for sure that they might get curious to try what those people experienced. Then after that there's a chance that they might get hook and like to continue what they are doing.

Also its illegal to put a gambling center or betting shops near on learning institutions since it will not bring anything good to young adults and for sure that they will be taken out in that jurisdiction.

Yeah, at the end of the day everyone is at least slightly influenced by their environment.

So, in a way it is a good thing to not allow having things like casinos or other similar things next to young minds, which are still developing.

I think you need to be at least 18 years old to be able to discerning about these things...

I would be strongly against having something like that near the institutions of learning. I understand that it may be a good way to teach people the hard lessons of being careful with your assets and as a whole, but if my child would have the temptation of going somewhere like that, I would speak with them about the effects it could have and why it's so important to think first, then do something you won't regret afterwards.

When casino is near the institutions of learning, that will attract students attention to know what is inside the casino. They will not focus with their study but trying to search for more information. Then, some student will go to that casino and playing some gambling games and tells the other student about how exciting the gambling games on the casino. That will makes more student go to that casino and forget their study because that can makes them feels excitement than study.

If my child asks me about that, I will explain why that could be dangerous for them. They should know about the effect of playing gambling and lose their control in gambling so they can see what could happens to their life. That can gives more problem to their parents and not just their children because teachers will invite parents to the school and ask what is happens to their child.

Lets make first a clear understanding who is a student, as it translation of this word is similar for a person who attends school, and a person who attends university.

If a university students attends a casino, then how can it be wrong, if this person is definitely +18 already. Such persons should be fully aware of what gambling and addiction is. They are old enough to be responsible for their actions. But, if casino isnt something illegal, they wont let school student in and let him gamble. So he wont be able to "tell other students about excitement of gambling". Moreover, I think that school student wont even plan to visit offline casino, instead will enter online casino and deposit with his card. Nevertheless, with or without offline casinos near school or university, students will gamble if they want, and nobody could do anything about it, as you cant control students 24/7.

Yeah, I think it's smart to teach the kids the why. If you just say "don't do this" they will not learn and will probably just end up doing it anyway.

If you teach them the reason why they shouldn't do something, then they can learn and be able to generalize and apply that knowledge in a more broad sense.

Of course it's easier to just say "no", but most important things in life are nuanced and require a more elaborate approach.

On the other hand, we have casino posters on public transport, we have post all around the city. Even though casinos windows are not transparent, they hand posters on the windows from the street side. And the internet is full of casino ads. No matter if casino is near institution, kids see casinos anyway. If a casino near institution of learning only pushes to think about gambling (because no one would let them in), ads push kids to try gambling online. Which makes is looks like a casino near institution of learning isnt the biggest thread.

Imho it would be a much bigger problem, if there were a small shop near school. Instead of having a proper meal, kids would buy sodas, candies and chips. And those who look like adults, might try to buy alcohol.

Gambling is a game of choice as no one is being forced to engage in gambling so no matter where a gambling hall is located or situated, any one that will engage in gambling will do so. Gambling is the latest trend now as you can hardly meet people who are not into gambling especially people in their youth age. Everyone want a way to make quick money and only few people gamble for fun as a lot of people gamble with the aim of making money from it. Most gamblers are even students that are practically getting involved in gambling activities if they can win and sort out some of their fees they are meant to pay for their studies so I see nothing bad in a gambling hall being close to an institution of learning.

It really depends on the people that you hang out with.

Some people gamble, others don't.

Many people assume that whoever surrounds them is basically the same as everyone else.

In reality people are very different.

People's opinions on this matter may be divided, some say that it is legitimate to build casinos/gambling centers around learning institutions, but there are also those who say that this does not have a significant impact. But as far as I understand, countries that legalize gambling have regulations on gambling places that want to build their buildings around institutions of learning. It is emphasized that gambling establishments are not permitted to build their buildings close to institutions of learning zones, because it is feared that it will affect the psychology of students and distract their focus in studying, and it is also related to social and ethical matters. So there are several things that we need to pay attention to in this case and it depends on the social conditions and education of the community, this can have a significant impact or not at all.

I think it is pretty clear that there is an effect on kids if there is a casino close to a school.

It's similar to laws that don't allow pubs or bottle shops near a school.

It's pretty obvious really. You don't want to have people with minds still in development to be unnecessarily addicted to certain things.

For sure there is an effect on young generation and that effect is really bad for everyone involved in gambling from an early age. I'm 100% against casinos near educational institutions and here in Romania we have this problem where across the street of a school , we have not one , now two but over 3 booking houses near each other and it's sad because I'm sure they will let those kids bet from time to time and that's why lately we have new laws that forbids bookies to be opened near high schools and schools.

However , this new generation will snatch their ID from their parents and simply open an account with their email and so on ...then simply go to malls where they have pre-point ATMs and simply charge their booking account from there without using a credit card or walk into that booking to make a deposit and in this way they trick the law. Hopefully , in near future this ATM's will remove this option.

To be specific, a high number of gamblers are school and college students who want to gamble when they get their savings. Since they are still young in age, after winning a bet they become addicted to it and may resort to theft to earn money from repeated bets. By doing this, bad reactions can come in their life from two sides. Casino owners aren't forcing you to gamble so it's silly to blame them largely. But to review such things need to be monitored by the government of that country.

Yeah, who else should do it? And there's a rule when it comes to building a gambling site, especially at how far it should be in a learning center. Gambling is an influence itself because of the chance that it could bring to people who like testing their luck and I bet students can easily be manipulated by that idea.
Just today, we already have a lot of online gambling sites popping out on different social media, and just recently, I installed one application about casting on television but all the ads that are popping out are gambling sites. Different website names but the same games inside, maybe only their bonus features are different ones. This era had already become a gambling era and creating a gambling business near a school will probably make it worse.

Although the working hours between students and casinos are not consistent, such a close location has been a platform to recruit a large number of users at a young age, not even old enough for gambling games, maybe people at educational institutions won't miss any classes, and will even study more diligently, but after class, it's a shower of gambling and betting. If there really are such centers close to places of education, perhaps intervention from higher leadership will be needed, the policy will be to relocate this casino facility to another place that has reduced attention from students

From my observation of offline casinos in my countries, I rarely see underaged persons around them. Moreover, I rarely see lots of moment near casino either. By walking by, it is a rare sign that anyone enters or leaves it. Imo, if it is not a specific place like Vegas, offline casinos arent as popular as used to be. Even visiting them I see that space there is mostly empty than crowded with gamblers. So what «number of users» are you talking about? And since it is underaged, they more likely gamble online, instead of in offline casinos.

Depends on the working hours of the gambling shop. Most of them operates during the evening and night hours which don't coincide with the time of lectures. I remember that casino nearby college I have used to go to was opening from 16 pm thus I never missed lectures though sometimes visited it on Sunday evenings..

Totally negative as I live near a school,high school and elementary and before 2019 casinos here were legal to be placed anywhere while now are only regulated by the government and only big ones allowed.When the thing were legal anywhere I had 2 small casinos in my own alley and it was a real bad experience as I saw people,I mean kids who their parents had given them money for a sandwich or a pie to buy in the the big break of 30 minutes they did not buy to eat and instead they got to the casino to play slots with their 2 Euros or to place sport bets,from this I conclude that nothing good comes having a casino near a learning/educational institute and I have the living proof which I just shared here.It is always against the overall well being of our society as these kids when they grow up they become not good ones,they in most cases become bad ones ending in jail or even worse.

That's if their school is near with the casino so they will curious with what inside the casino and will trying to find out. That can makes them start playing gambling with their friends even they can do that after they school. Yes, that can makes them becomes addicted to gambling without anyone knows because they can hide what they do in the casino from other people.

In their age, they will gets addicted to gambling easily because they can't control themselves well and can gets tempts easily from gambling. They will not realizes if they already used their money to playing gambling and if that money is gone, they can ask to their parents. It needs control from their parents and their teachers and always explain what is the danger of playing gambling in their age.

Well, that could be applied in gambling casinos where minors are allowed to gamble. But here in my country, those who can be seen often gambling are those people who have nothing to do in their life and get easily bored, and those who have stable jobs but are left restless and exhausted, so they resort into gambling to find entertainment. While those minors, they can gamble but most likely in online casinos.

Still, it is not a good idea to put gambling platforms near any school or institution of learning because these students might misinterpret it and might be thinking that they are the target of the casino near them.

It's proven that 48% of students gamble to try and make money, and only about 11% of students on average win in a week. Also, it's particularly important to note that students begin to miss lectures, fail to submit assignments and hide their problems from friends, when infested with gambling problems. These factors determines how bad it is to remind students of gambling, by launching multiple gambling centers close to campuses. However, student's dependence for money tempts them into patronizing close by casino outlets. Other elements like fun show no valid evidence for student's engagement in such an abstract activity, which is not pertaining to why they're studying. The bottom line is for students to disclose earlier to friends about their gambling problems. Sites like Gamcare also should be used to communicate with an expert who can talk to a student in dreaded times of problematic gambling.

Life is not fair to some people and the students as well, all hands are not equal, if at all it's right, some student will never gamble because from all indications, they are doing it for survival, some of their parents sent little money to them and they sacrifice few from there to try their luck and I a witness to say that they do win. The smart ones can spare as high as 2% of what was sent to them and then gamble it but they don't exceed this level because they know the implications of over gambling.

The wana be clever ones will used all their money to gamble and start running from one hostel to another after they lose their money to gamble, it's a pity they beg all through out the month for survival but as soon as they received alert from their parents, they will disappear into thin air, use all money for gambling and then return back to their usual begging. It's funny and it break my heart seeing student with such behavior.
