Legal restrictions often prevent gambling joints from setting up shop too near schools or colleges. The concern is that having temptations like betting and slots so close could sway impressionable young folks in the wrong direction. We all know folks can get hooked on gambling and losing their money and probably hits young people even harder. So its best to keep that flashy casinos or whatever at a safe distance from the college kids, right? Just seems smarter.

Yeah yeah, of course it will. It's not as if it is what will cause them to gamble but the fact remains people's minds usually recide based on what they see frequently and therefore if kids should continue to see gambling shops so often that they begin to gradually get familiar with them ,they will definitely have the urge to try it out . In fact let's not forget the fact that children most of the time are very inquisitive and therefore love to try out new things.
The truth is weather or not there is a gambling shop they come across frequently, they will still get to know about gambling via. The internet, meaning aside from them knowing it exists, they should also be told about it to reduce their urge towards it most times kids tend to take a wrong turn towards things they are least aware of.

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?

An institution of learning remains an institution of learning whether there is a casino company around it or not. however a casino company that decides to site its location in a school environment of higher learning should know that majority of Thier customers will be people that are residing along that area and students coming out from campus.Thoughts?
In business, your location is very important, so you should know your targeted audience and where to best site your Business. If it becomes a negative reinforcement on the students as a result of a lot them frequenting the gambling center and forming an unhealthy gambling lifestyle, then the school authority might decide to write to appeal to the gambling center to move to another location.
really that abiding still with government rules and terms on which means that if the government is really that trying out to protect something then they wont really be allowing on making that operation into said vicinity.
It would really be that impossible that there would be no considerations specially on the time that these businesses would be getting some business permits.If its allowed then there's nothing we can do.
It would really be just that depending on a certain individual if they would really be letting themselves having that kind of gambling problem due to curiosity.
I don't know how it works in different jurisdictions, but in Spain it is forbidden to open casinos at certain distance from schools, with ranges between 100m and 500m if I'm not wrong, depending on the region. Afaik it doesn't affect universities (the aim is to protect younger people, not adults).

Statistically speaking the younger generations between a g ages 18 to 40 are the population the other most interested in gambling. In addition these are high risk population that are addicted to gambling. While opening a physical casino or sports betting shop in an area with a high concentration of students will guarantee increasing revenue, it also is that more students will be addicted to gambling. But then it is business and the responsibility of not getting addicted belongs to the students their customers and not the operator of the casino or sports betting shop. Thoughts?
If I am not wrong certain government prohibits operation of clubs, bars probably casino in certain radius where educational institutions are located that means existence of such places brought influence to some levels that's why it's prohibited so if there's a rule already then better accept as what it is.
Some countries have regulations regarding the arrangement of boundary zones for the construction and operation of clubs, bars, casinos far from educational institutions, this policy is to avoid impacts on the environment around educational institutions. However, these restrictive regulations must be strictly implemented for the purpose of social norms to respect educational institutions as the nation's hope for the future.Quote
Anyway this is era of internet so people can find anything they wanted in their hands itself still it's better not to expose too much which might make them to curious and experience at the wrong time period of their life journey.
Everyone can freely explore the internet regarding anything they want to access, restrictions on the internet do not apply because there is always a way to open access to anything with the help of a VPN application, we have to filter negative things to protect ourselves from the negative influence of the internet and especially if you are a parent you must monitor the internet history on your child's smartphone, so that they feel they are being watched so that they do not access content that is not appropriate for their age and they must be given internet user education for their learning needs to increase their educational knowledge.

This probably comes down to zoning and property usage laws. There is not necessarily a problem with this, but mass amounts of them should not be allowed in any single area. Besides that's they are perfectly legitimate companies and if they are following the law then they should not have onerous restrictions placed on them. Maybe the educational institution could put extra effort into warning their students off gambling, but that may actually backfire and work against them if anyone remembers their rebellious younger years. If they are paying taxes and employing people then it might be one of the few sources of employment available in the area.

The gambling age in my country is 18+ but most higher institutions admit student from age 16 and above. Situating a physical casino close to such an educational center will encourage underage gambling. Some of these students might be attracted to gambling at a tender age and might not also be able to control the habit which will lead to addiction. Research has shown that children are more prone to gambling addiction than adults. Gambling can also be time-consuming which might affect the studies of these students. You will be surprised that many of them will spend more time in these physical casinos than in classrooms
20 years ago, the education department in my country announced they would not allow internet cafes close to the school because it's attracting boys to stay there, not attend school anymore. It's almost the same issue. Boys will be more interested in gambling too. Worse, they don't eat lunch money but just gamble there in the nearby casino and forget schooling.
Students are easily carried away so all these measures needs to be put in place to help the students focus on studied and avoid these distractions. I know that there are laws that forbid the citing of bet shops close to secondary schools but they are allowed in colleges and universities.

It is obvious that casinos must be kept away from schools, and in the case this is not happening, either the local government is at fault by not enforcing such law, or the casino is an illegal one and it lacks the permissions to operate, and in that case the government must close that casino as soon as possible, because even if I am in favor of gambling, casinos should not be as readily available to young people, especially when they are supposed to be learning at the time.Thoughts?

Although, not very likely but for matured students, probably those pursuing a doctorate or writing a thesis on some paper or a project defense in this regard, maybe it's best for such businesses to exist in proximity afterall for easy access to real data on gamblers.
I may be thinking too far, but I know that there has to be a plan already in place in such areas mostly in developed areas, so as to prevent emerging businesses, mostly those of the gambling sort, from coming into existence and phasing out such institutions with distractions, that would originally help develop the future leaders of tomorrow.
Do you mean an institution of learning like a college or university? I think it can be an influence in a way that there would be an option for the students to be there but if they are adults already, they should know the consequences of something like that. It's important to understand that there will be a consequence on the things you choose.
It's a different case for schools in primary or secondary. It's not gonna be as influential because it's not going to be a hindrance IMO. But if they are kids, they should be not allowed in that gambling center.

What difference will it make if we have no casino or gambling centres close to institutions of learning? These students have phones and other devices they can use to access gambling sites anytime or day from their hostels without anyone monitoring their activities. Students have access to everything now, so what is required by a student is discipline. Moreover, there is no law which restrains students who are up to the legal age required by the laws of their country from gambling. Thoughts?
In my country, you must be an adult to be eligible for gambling, it doesn't matter if you are a student or not. It is then left for the students to prioritize what they really want; pay attention to studies or spend all their money on gambling. The result of their performances are often shown at the end of the session, it is left for them to make the right decision.
I have to agree with your opinion because nowadays most students who love to gamble are mostly involved in online gambling.
Although there are land based casinos closed to learning center, I dont think students will enter that place as it will be easy for the learning instution to know about what they are doing.
Students are smart enough and they wont risk themselves to gamble in land based casino which is located close to their school/campus.
Anyway I dont think the local government in any country will allow people to build a casino close to a learning center.

Before it go that way, for sure government will make an action about it immediately especially if you're in a country wherein there's a high restriction on both registered and unregistered gambling establishments including its location. In my country, such proprietorships aren't allowed to be close to churches and school because they are avoiding the possibility that students might be dragged to gambling activities and not be able to do theit studies, responsibly. So if it is reinforcement then it would be more logical to consider community rules given that gambling is an activity wherein many people have negative impressions of.Thoughts?

of course it will affect the students because most of these students are still emotionally immature and this gambling center will directly make students curious about what they offer and start looking for it on the internet. even though these students are not allowed to visit this gambling center, they will find another way to get access there and that will take them to online casinos which can have a negative impact on their learning interests.
it is better for this gambling center to be built in places where they should be built, for example in the city center. with that the psychology of these children will not be disturbed by their operations which are around their school area.

It's unethical and Immoral to have a gambling center near any learning institution or school, no regulator will allow that, and moral crusaders will have the permit of the gambling center revoked; if you're a gambling operator, you will not make your company near any learning institution, as people will lose respect for you and they will think that you are hungry for profit so its better to respect these institutions because we all treat it with high esteemed.
Not possible. There's a law about this where gambling establishments are prohibited to be erected near schools, universities, or other educational institutions.
Just the view is so bad and it will probably put the Mayor of that city in a bad position with the parents of the children who will use those institutions. And, this is like an urge for the young ones to gamble when they see the gambling establishment every day. Curiosity. You have been at that age so I bet you know how curious kids could be.
But I am more curious on why you ask such a question when it's obvious that it doesn't feel right when you put a gambling establishment near a school.

Funny you mention it, because here close to my house there is a middle school, which probably cater up to four hundred students or more and across the street there is a betting agency, mostly centered on sport betting and animal roulette (it is a popular game here I my country.
My thoughts are neutral, because for me to have an opinion, I would need to gather information of whether the staff of that establishment actually dare to go against the law and cater teens and children who wish to place bets on football matches.
If they follow they law and ask or an Identity card when they are required to prove their age to their employee of the betting place, then I would say it does not matter whether the betting place is near a school or university.
As it stands today, in my country there is no law against the location casinos and betting agencies.
Next time I walk by that same school, I will try to remember and ask one or two teachers if their students gamble on that place or not .
