Topic: Casino/gambling center near an institution of learning? - page 5. (Read 912 times)

The relatively large impact on students when a gambling center is so close, it clearly implies that the participants are students, people who have enough curiosity as well as recklessness and lack of knowledge but in some ways, I think the organizers will be relatively amateur and will soon be destroyed when education is a great foundation, once threatened, there will be protection from the government. In addition, no matter what kind of family background students have, they do not have a stable source of income, cannot have a stable number of customers, this audience is not suitable for making large profits.

Well, let’s talk about my high school years to give an answer for your question. When I was in high school, I’m following the sports of my favorite team and that’s why I can easily guess which matches are we going to win on football and basketball. After a point, one of my friend said: “There is a betting office and it’s so close to our school. Let’s play a bet and won a huge amount of money because we guess every match correct!”. Than, we started to sports betting and at the beginning we guess almost every match and earn very well from bets. However, after some point, we start to lose and play more than normal and become additional.
For summarize, having a casino or betting office close to the schools or institution of learning, it may cause the people or children to getting addicted to gambling.

The student will gets the effect of that club because they can imagine how if they playing gambling and wins much money. They can becomes rich people, maybe they will be one of the rich people in their school and they will not wants to finish their study. The temptation to go to the casino will comes to them and makes some of them visit the casino to see the gambling games that they can play.

They can have fun by playing gambling but they can also gets addicted to gambling without they realizes. Once they feels the temptation, they will comes again and again without thinks that how if they use much money and lose all of the money. In their ages, they will not thinks about the money because they can asks to their parents and back to playing gambling again.

I agree with you on this, just they say that what you give attention will definitely give you direction, anyone that chooses not give attention to a particular thing can not be affected by that same especially as to this regards of, just for instance when I was in the university although I lived off campus so I had about five roommates and they all smokes, because I chossed not to be influenced by it I didn't joined them. However everything is all about decipline and self control towards what you want for yourself, is all about being yourself and not following what the crowd seem to be doing or talking about. Not that smoking is bad but just that I chooses not to the same as gambling too thou I do gamble as a fun once in a while.

I can agree that no matter what, some of these students will somehow try to explore the world of gambling if it is very accessible to them. Just look at the malls and other theme parks near academic institutions, and you will find out a lot of students are the patrons of these establishments. So we can't discard the fact that gambling site nearby would really somehow attract some student patrons.


With respect to how the academic institution will act on this, I would say, they should talk to the assigned authority which is granting business permit for gambling business to have open discussion with the gambling owners. As much as possible, it should be far from the academe and if not, they should make an arrangement to this casino management.

Certainly it is. Students are keen observers and explorative, so whatever new to them, they will most likely want to experience a bit of it. And I'm sure they will always find fun in gambling knowing the thrill and excitement are  there. But the worst thing is, if they can't control their gambling excitement, they will eventually fall into gambling addiction and may ruin the bright future waiting ahead of them.

Any student that wants to be affected by what's set close to them is going to be affected; if not, even if they set up the betting shop in the room where the student sleeps, if he or she doesn't want to join and be influenced by it, he or she won't be. It's all a matter of choice and decision. 
 
It's not too good to have a betting shop close to school, but that doesn't change anything much from my own point of view, because some of the students who might not even be focused in school due to gambling might not be using the betting shop close to them but either go to an go to an online casino or go far from the school premises and gamble.

Honestly, yes.
Never mind casinos or the like which usually attract young people of all ages, game centers are a very popular place. For this reason, usually before setting up a business, especially in the casino sector like this, there will be permits, and usually several countries or places will consider the location where the casino will be built.

Yes, although perhaps the regulations in each country are different, and perhaps there are also countries that don't have that problem at all, however, some others are very compatible.

Because after all, in the world of teenagers who are still at school, especially those who often join in doing something, they will be very easily tempted by what others are doing. Although in fact, a casino must also have its own rules for entering the casino, which usually requires you to be at least that age, and that means that school children will not be allowed to enter the area or the casino.

But what about the impact of life in a casino environment? It's bound to change a little, right? because casinos are closely related to several things that are considered negative by many parties. So, it could be that they will object if it affects these students. But once again, it will also depend on the regulations and policies of each region. Because there will definitely be different conditions and environments in each region or country.

I think it’s a distraction to students. It’s the same or maybe similar as asking if it’ll affect students if there’s a club around the school. Students would definitely get tempted to have a taste of what’s around. Instead of these, the school can look to implement things that can help keep student in focus too.

I think zoning makes sense and casinos should not be inside urban centers. There are good suburban areas that also aren't natural reserves that can be used to build large buildings. If they invest enough they can make it worth a visit to their attractions.

Now in terms of learning institutions... I remember when I was studying as an undergraduate university student there was an illegal poker club by students... And really it was so odd to see large amounts bet there. Of someone wants to gamble they will find a way. The thing is that a casino would attract more people and kinds of activity that aren't exactly fitting in a city. So sending them to areas outside of city planning is best in my opinion.

Have you also considered the fact that the environment one finds his or herself has a great influence on their behaviour? A casino sited in a populated place such as an institution of learning will gain lots of patronages and who are the target customers? Students! These are young people who are hungry for money, many will gamble with their tuition fees without thinking twice because they saw a friend do same and won. Only very few disciplined Students will choose not to gamble.

During my school days, we had lots of betting shops around my school and these shops make more money than those whose shops are not close to the school. Students are greedy and will always want to double their money just to impress  a crush.

Just as you said, young people should always be reminded of the dangers of gambling so they don't end up misbehaving behind their parents' back.

It is very difficult for most children to resist the urge of wanting to try gambling, even if they do for a while they keep getting the feeling of trying their luck and worst it would be is if they have it closer to their place of study. One thing might have to lead to another and a bad gambling fellow student might tend to corrupt a good mind and how fascinating it would be, that student might adhere to what the gambling student might have told him on how impressive it is and just checking it is right around the corner makes it a bit easier and accessible, so it is good if a gambling center is no where near the learning center.

it does beyond what you call "negative reinforcement" ... It kills dream. The whole drama sets out when he begins to get curious and ask questions; In the course of doing this, he'll definitely have an answer to most of his questions; It especially affects children leaving in the hood as almost all practicable habits aren't omitted.

On the other hand, "you could force a horse to a river, but you can't force it drink water". No matter how strong the influence is, it can't affect them all.. what about the odds? I believe every casino's super agent and some team of administrators go around to inspect a site before endorcement so, there's a little chance of that happening.

Yes of course, it makes them curious about it and they can easily search it online and try it as well.
They may not be able to enter that casino but in online, there’s a chance for them to have the access, this is why we should educate the younger generation about the risk of gambling and make them realize that gambling is not for everybody.

Speaking from a standard point of view, I must say that the environment a person finds his/herself always have a role to play in the way such individual behave, hence, having a casino close to an institution is likely to have  influence on students, as majority of these students is likely to be tempted when faced with financial challenges to see if they could try their lucky to see if they could win, but yet that doesn't mean it going to stop serious students from focusing on their studies, which happens to be the primary reason which brought them to the school environment, unless the unserious ones who allow themselves to be carried away by the influence of the environment. Hence, gambling is an individual thing, and as such, a person living in such environments could decide to gamble or not.

I remember there was also a hot topic before about computer shops being placed near in schools but the only difference is that computers can mostly be used for doing a research, printing, and other useful things, and they can still remove the games on them. So, I think that was allowed. Anyway, influence is like someone teaches them to be like that, though this is not the case here, however there is a good chance that the students will see them when they enter and exit the school, and they will be curious with it which can lead for them on trying it.

I can't think of any reasons to be positive with it but maybe it's because it can also give them entertainment and some profits which they can also use for their studies? If only this is the ones that can happen but I think it's mostly the other way, so we can mostly be negative about it.

That can impact to their student to trying playing gambling on that casino. Even their teachers will try it because gambling can attract anyone to try their luck. Many gambling games can easily tempts people to comes and try to playing that gambling games. We know that student doesn't have a stable emotion and they can go to that casino to see how good their luck. It will not gives a positives effect to them instead curiosity and many of them will trying to playing gambling secretly.

It is better a casino or any gambling center doesn't close to an institution of learning so there will be no student will curious about gambling. That casino will not be blamed by the society around that casino and the institutions because they run their business far from the institution.

Of course yes there is definitely going to be a negative effect of having a gambling center close to an institution of learning, there is going to be a huge distraction where some might even end up spending money that is meant for school in gambling, there is high possibility of going to the gambling center because it is easily accessible where one can probably gamble even when it is not planned and at such being distracted from your studies. However irrespective of location of a gambling center adhering to certain rules for responsible gambling habit could be a lead as to this regard, such as gambling with only the amount you can afford to lose, don't Chase your losses, seeing gambling as just a game, don't allow yourself to be carried away my emotions that comes with gambling by being in control yourself and staying within your limit.

Maybe the experience you see can be used as one of the proofs why gambling has a negative impact on students if the gambling center is in the student's environment, whether or not there are many students who come to the gambling center, it is still the case that if there is one student who goes to gamble there, it is a negative thing even when the student has experienced gambling elsewhere, with a closer presence it makes it easier for him to do gambling.

Especially to the extent that he brings his friends to try gambling, maybe it will be something more detrimental than just one student alone, or even can attract his driving force at once and do gambling there, it will be much worse than what I imagine, how the student sees his future if it is already related to gambling at a very young age, because if gambling is in the wrong hands it will be a very negative growth.

Academy center is an opportunity place where any business can settle down be it food business, drinks, selling of fashion and many more and I think casino is just one of them, so I don't think it's a bad thing as long as the academy management doesn't see anything it. I think it will be easy to make money from such places since students loves gambling but I think as a student who understands what he is doing, he will know the right time to gamble and wouldn't try it.

On a second thought, I'm not sure about the particular gambling center you are talking about, literally students have phones and today, majority of students play online and doesn't like to show public attention that they gamble, business wise it might not even generate a lot of income and it wouldn't really have effect on the studentsas many of people assume from the negative comments.
