To have a gambling house near an educational institution can encourage students to gamble quite often, especially because we are talking about a collective phenomenon, where each student works as a reinforcer for each other towards gambling. Youngs get much more susceptible in doing something, if they are encouraged and endorsed by their pairs. That is how they develop addictions and get involved in risky activities.

The gambling house near the school can prejudice students a lot, if they aren't smart authentic individuals who are able to say NO to the temptations around them. These students may have difficulties saving money, having good grades, what will also impact their learning skills and social interactions negatively.

However, I must point out that it's not a fault from the gambling house, but a fault from human beings who can't resist the temptations of the world and the requests from their social circles.

Can you elaborate? if I understood you correctly, you mean land based casino should be build in near of universities or school? what's the point? I see this is bad since it would influence students choose to gamble instead of focus to study.

If your intention is to increase underage gamblers, then your idea might work. Tongue

However, I doubt if the government will allow land based casino build in near of universities.

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?
If businesses around an institution of learning will always flourish and do extremely well due to the student's patronage to those businesses, then I think it's simply common sense to know already that having a gambling center, or better called, a gambling casino near and or around a education institution will definitely affect some of the students, please take note I said "some of the students", and this is because I personally believe that in every schools, there are always some really serious students who will never give themselves to living a type of life that is outside what they are in that school for.

But then, for some of the students, who really love to gamble, most especially those of them who are well into sports like their existence depends on it, having a gambling casino around the school will be a great opportunity for them to gamble, and this surely will affect their studies no doubt.

Actually in our current age, I see most youth/students betting online while though having these center's will even influences more others to gamble since they can physically meet like minded peers.

Though this will be a mixed perception since some will be influence more to gambling or even becoming addicted and others will come to learn about the risks and ways to healthy gambling though the majority will still be tending to the negative aspects since student are usually not workers depending on their guidance for taking care of their needs and then may see gambling of making money for themselves by which they'll begin to gamble with their funds for upkeep or may even be tempted to use their school fee, house rent or other funds required for schooling.

That's for sure, a casino close to a place of study will certainly have a big influence on the learning process and other negative things.
As explained by @Rameshjangid.

Answer:

Potential for financial exploitation: Young people who are not yet financially literate may be vulnerable to financial exploitation, particularly if they are enticed by the prospect of winning big at a nearby casino.

Explanation:

Building a casino near a school can have several disadvantages, including:

Increased exposure to gambling: The presence of a casino near a school can expose children and young adults to gambling at an early age, which can lead to gambling addiction or other related issues.

Negative impact on academic performance: Casinos can be noisy and disruptive, which can negatively impact the academic performance of students.

Increased crime: Casinos are often associated with increased crime rates, such as theft, drug abuse, and violence. This can pose a safety risk for students who attend nearby schools.

Negative impact on the community: Casinos can contribute to a negative image of the community and discourage businesses and families from moving into the area. This can lead to a decline in property values and economic growth.

Potential for financial exploitation: Young people who are not yet financially literate may be vulnerable to financial exploitation, particularly if they are enticed by the prospect of winning big at a nearby casino.

There is a high percentage that most of the users of such casino or betting company will come from the school or institution. That because a high number of the gamblers we have today are of the young ones and youths to be precise. This will definitely affect the educational status of students whole will attend such institution. Alot of them will be distracted by winnings and might even result to stealing just to continue their gambling activities. This will create a lot of damage to the institution.

The truth is that even though it would affect the institution somehow, there's nothing much that can be done especially in some countries where it's government don't really take time to monitor or observe such things. Both are just business and the owners wouldn't care if one is being affected by the other.
