Topic: Casino/gambling center near an institution of learning? - page 3. (Read 912 times)

My thoughts? I’m sure that I can’t have a closer information or explanation for this as someone who is living in a country where gambling and casinos are allowed. I must say that this question also is so unique to our forum and very rarely we see such kind of questions. Let me think if there is a casino near a school or any kind of learning institution, what’s going to happen? Clearly there will be an influence towards the students or children for having a fun activity against what most of humans would compare towards a less fan activity.
Casinos will have better facilities when it comes to lights and marketing outsides, because simply games always looks better than a book, but not all games are better than a book of course.

Over this thing and question, I must say it is totally the responsibility of parents to prevent this thing, if the student is under age, than he shouldn’t let be influenced. Parents should let casinos ti be built beside and near a learning institution of any kind, or in worse case, to not let that person near it. They always say protection is better than any treatment.

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.

I am sure there are laws that regulate the establishment of casinos in any country, therefore it is not necessary to just build a casino just anywhere. If a casino is built in a place that is located close to educational facilities, hospitals, etc., it will be subject to sanctions or even closed. I mean that a land-based casino will set up a casino by submitting a letter to the government (if in that country casinos are legalized). Of course there are several requirements that must be met in order to operate properly according to applicable regulations. For example the location is more than 10 kilometers from schools and hospitals, the environment is a place where there is a lot of tourist interaction, etc.

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.

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.

Absolutely disagree. If I open an expensive restaurant near learning institution, does it mean students will get distracted by food, and all they think would be eating instead of studying. Dont forget that student is often described as person who isnt rich, or dont have spare money. After studies, many students either hang out with friends, or go to work. Students pass many different buildings, that does not mean they get obsessed with all of them.

What do you mean "other students coming out of the casino as winners" ? First of all, how do you understand if a person that leaves a building is a winner. Second - who would allow underaged to enter casino? Third - you think someone would on purpose stand near casino and wait for winner to came out, to get triggered by that and start gambling himself? Fourth - when was the last time you saw someone winning a lot, and do it frequent?

Students will want to gamble more than they'll want to read because many people don't believe in the education system anymore and want to make money while they're young so that they can enjoy the money until they get older. Opening a casino near a learning institution will distract the students that wants to lean.

When they see other students coming out of the casino as winners, they'll want to try too. That'll see thsoe coming out as losers but it won't make them scared but make them to want to try too thinking they can do better than the people that are coming out defeated. It is just a bad Idea to do this, let us not distract the students that wants to study and make an impact in the world through education.
There are other places that a casino can open and they'll make money because they'll have customers that are adults and are responsible for the way they use their money. Teens should be left alone, I don't support gambling to be done anywhere near where learning institution are located.

It is inconsequential if casino or gambling house is located close to institution of learning especially tertiary institutions because they have all student to supposedly be 18 and above. It is institution for higher learning and therefore saddled with exposure too and right to make a choice not out of their own volition. Moreover, those students there are not kids, they have android phones and can access whatever casino they want online, so bringing it close to them doesn't matter because they have choice to make as adults. Whether bringing it closer or farther, they are adults with choice to make in whatever they want.

Totally depends on country's rules and regulations on which there are ones who are really that mindful about on the condition or being that responsible about for the good of its citizens specially students
and there are ones who dont really care that much and just really that focusing into economic matters on which they wouldnt really be that making themselves be mindful on what are the things that are stake or really that being affected if ever they would really be pushing up such decision on having that gambling business near on vicinity of an institution or any correlated places on which we know that this could really be something influential or something that could put up some effects into those people who are residing around, but well everything would really be just that depending on their decisions whether they
would really be that considerate or would still stick into their plans and proceed on.

Maybe just in like a monopoly kind of setting like you’re wagering fake money just for fun but honestly most schools don’t tolerate gambling at least in the US and it always gets shut down if someone told on folks who were gambling, at least in my experience but I’d say college would be sick if they had like a poker or blackjack class haha

I don't think it can be simply considered wasting their time.

There's now a lack of a third place, basically all the time people are either at home or at work. The gaming rooms of the old days were a place were friends could meet and have a social time.

Not everything in life is money, we are social creatures, and it is actually quite beneficial to engage with other people outside.

Even if that is the case, it is still incorrect for a casino to be so close to a school, I still remember when arcades were a thing and regulation was passed to keep them away from schools too, and if there was one nearby anyway, you could see students wasting their time there, and I know this because there was one close to my school and many of my friends skipped classes all the time just to play some video games, so it is easy to me to see students doing the same if there was a casino close to their school.

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.
