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?

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 .

This is morally not good, but from the perspective of a casino owner, it will be really profitable for them. Now we cannot control any person’s actions. A person needs to be responsible for himself only. If he has enough money to gamble and wants to gamble, then he should gamble. It doesn’t depend if he is a student or not. On the other hand, if a student is sober enough and doesn’t get distracted by physical casinos, then we can praise him and cannot force him to gamble. This is just my point of view.

This is nothing new in my community - there currently is a school that has some betting center at their campus and yes you’ll see some school kids going there to bet games and some do it while classes are on going or during break. The school I mentioned is a public school so most of the time kids are left to do things by themselves without proper supervision from their class teachers so they end up doing some unethical stuff like staying out while teaching is going on, playing balls during lecture period and watching football matches in betting centers during school period.

It does have negative impact on those that have been wanting to bet in the past and also those that have never bet before have in one way or the other, sometimes when their class mate comes back with the money they won from their bet they tend to become more tempted to gamble.

I don't think it matters much because there should be a plan and a prior investigation into the neighborhood before such would be granted the rights to erect a casino or gambling center or even let out a space for them to thrive.

In societies were education and learning institutions are priority and given a top notch accreditation, the institution could even sue such a casino or gambling business if it notices how their students flock in there or make a fool of themselves when they go there.  
I could also consider that the age of students and the gambling center being close by, would determine if that kind of business would succeed in that kind of environment or not.

If you tighten the rules for students or minors in your casino, I don't think it will have any impact. The problem is, when those who don't have time to play at the casino are still allowed to play at the casino. maybe it will make an impact. There must be proper and consistent regulations in running a casino. although it can be very profitable, it will probably get a lot of opposition.

A casino next to any educational institution will become a place of “pilgrimage” for all students. Students are a category of the population that is experiencing an acute shortage of money and at the same time does not have sufficient skills and knowledge to earn money, so, undoubtedly, they will want to get easy money and will be “hooked” by the casino. Also, students have a monthly influx of (small) money in the form of a scholarship (enough for the initial rates), which they will want to increase. Therefore, a casino next to an educational institution will become a center of attraction and financial temptation (devastation).

On the other hand, students who want to play in a casino will have no problem getting to the desired establishment, even if it is located far away. There is also a point that online casinos are now beginning to prevail, allowing you to play from mobile phones, and it turns out that offline casinos no longer pose as great a threat to society (youth) as it might seem.

But I assume that the authorities (city municipality), for the most part, will not allow casinos to be built next to educational institutions purely from an ethical (moral) point of view.

Gambling centers close to an institution is a very big distraction to students especially those ones who were already into it, but couldn't engage properly owing to parental restrictions. They now have an open window to explore the gambling world and most time they engage so badly to the detriment of their academic pursuits.

Gambling education are not easily accessible in tertiary institution environment, most students especially those new to gambling aren't aware of gambling in moderation, so they fall prey to addiction pretty soon. It has more bad influence on students than good and should be discouraged to  allow students concentrate on studies.

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.

The rules regarding land based casino location must be different in each country but most of them will definitely not give permission to open a casino near an educational center.
And there must be a rule regarding the minimum age limit to be able to enter and play in a legal land based casino.

If there is an illegal casino operating near an educational center, It will definitely have a bad influence on the students in that area.
However, I think young people, including students may be more interested in playing at online casinos than land base casinos.
KYC might not be a problem for them because in many countries, local online casinos usually dont care about KYC.

Gambling is very legal in our country but our government has very strict rules and provisions and one of these is the proximity of the betting station to a school.

Children have curious minds if they see these betting stations they will be curious to know what gambling is all about and they might not concentrate on their studies.

We do have a lotto station on every corner of our city and town but they never allow it to be near any school or learning station they should be more than 400 meters or even further, the minds of the students are more important than the taxes of these betting stations.

It will have a negative impact on the minds of the students of that learning institution. This is why we have a law in our country that a betting station or gaming center should be at least 300 meters away from a school or learning institution; you will not be granted a license if you are less than 300 meters, the students should not be aware of the existence of gaming or gambling center because they might be tempted to play there out of curiosity and if the owners are corrupt, they might ley these students go inside.

I have not heard that there is any country where there is law against that and the last time I checked, casinos have age limit  required to be allowed access into their facilities and services.  If they are located around institutions of learning, they have their target customers there and if the students and staff of such institutions qualify by age, I do not see anything bad there unless you are telling me that casinos are general distraction to society which I disagree with.

Casino is just like every other business. In my country, things that you will find around institutions of learning are casinos, game houses, recreation centres and numerous other businesses including clubs and hotels. Students that want to be distracted will always be distracted, not because they have access to casinos within the school environment.

If a casino is opened near a school environment, then it is really a cool strategy for the casino owner because he will definitely have a lot of customers (students) who will regularly visit the casino. It will have a negative influence on some students who are gamblers and can even make some students who are not gamblers become gamblers through their friend's convention. Having a casino near school may not really have a negative impact on every student, but we all know how some people can allow themselves to be so loose for every little opportunity they get. Because the casino is now very close, some students will make it a habit of staying there all day and can even miss lectures.

I think so since student mind will always be curious on what’s inside the and why they are not allowed to enter to that premise.

But in reality, I really doubt a casino will be placed near schools since that is not the target market of the casino and they might faced legal charges and complaints if the parents of the students reported them to the authorities.

There’s a reason why casino is always located on big city away from schools.

I'm a student currently in the school premises, you can't imagine what I'm thinking right now! having a casino or a bet shop close to an institution of learning is more like setting a time bomb and sure it will explode and destroy something one day.

Just imagine staking a game which will be starting the same time with your class, and then you're in the lecture hall you here shout or some kind of sentiment of winning or loses while learning, you will not enjoy what will be the outcome. students will begin to move their interests to gambling as fast as possible especially when one hears the result of another student who won or was lucky enough to get a good profit, a lot of attitude change and social change will occur in such an environment.

Infact it's a bad idea, it will surely disrupt the attention of students and will be a negative impact on them or should I say us. basically in a will organised society it's not possible to have such a business situated around an institution of learning it's highly prohibited.

But the sad truth is, such a place is a good site for business and will surely progress but the effect of that is much worse than the profit one will be making.

This depends on the level of the student, in my opinion, if it is in a high school environment, it will definitely be affected by the presence of gambling in the environment where they go to school, because usually high school students will already be related to finance so that it allows them to bet and dare to do so.
Maybe this is talking about a physical casino of course it will be very influential, but if it's a building or an online casino center I don't think it has much impact unless the building has the name of their casino and of course students will see and look for what it is and some will definitely gamble at that casino, but not as massive as the impact that a physical casino might have, because people's activities will be different there, which is definitely a negative impact.

Definitely yes, because I remember what kind of student I was, and I remember the behavior of my fellow classmates at the university. We knew all the pubs near the university, all the clubs and cafes.
And if there was a casino nearby at that time, then we would definitely go there and lose all the money. And those who have a bad temperament would most likely find themselves in thrall to gambling addiction. After all, students always want everything at once, and do not understand that in life you need to work hard to get a result

Of course it is negative for the students if the casino center is close to the learning institution, so far I don't see any casino close to what you mentioned.

Don't be close to where the casino is in the school circle with online casinos there are still many students at an age who already know online casino gambling, especially with central casinos or traditional casinos, I don't think the government will allow this, it will obviously have a bad impact.

Enough gambling away from teenage children who are still in school, even though parents must be able to supervise it otherwise they will be more free to play online casinos.

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.
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.

It is going to affect the students negatively in so many ways. Casinos will be a distraction for them in their studies and that can make some students turn into gamblers because they will always hear the success story of a gambler that won big in the casino. A casino should be sited very far from school, so that it will not terminate the purpose of building a school in that environment.
