Casino/gambling center near an institution of learning?

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?

No one should tell us that casino/sportsbook establishment is no plus for students before we know that, after all, this is not a productive call for them in any way. Will casinos/sportsbooks teach them moral standards and how to do well in life? Certainly not, so their presence should not be thought towards that direction for any reason. However, the presence may or may not be negative to the children as well, this is because many students will not even give it a thought and will be afraid to engage in a thing like that since it is around the institution, and when they get home, they might never have the chance to go out to try such a thing due to the strictness of their parents.

But to others, yes, it can affect them in the sense that they might look for a way to start trying what they are seeing around them, especially when they have reached certain older ages and believe money can be made through it. And even if these students did not gamble in the one(s) close to their school, they might find an alternative elsewhere where no one would see them.

This is particularly true if the children are such that are free to move around after school.

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.

In this internet age where we have online casinos, students and anybody else doesn't need physical casinos to gamble, they only need a smart phone to do so. But if these physical casinos and sports bet shops are situated near institutions, it'll help to influence more students into gambling, even those that are not into it can become curious and want to experiment what it feels like to gamble like fellow students.

I think that the main reason why physical gambling establishments are not supposed to be near schools is because majority of the students are not financially independent, they depend on parents and loved ones to cater for their financial needs. In that regard anything that can distract their attentions to spending money that is given to them outside of their studies should be discouraged.

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.

Since children like exploring at a very young age most of them would want to physically gamble if they are passing by. It is true that a casino or local gambling shop close to a school environment would of course influence the children a lot into gambling. You know what the eyes sees more often the brain adopts. The multiple times they get to see  people going in and coming out of the gambling shop they would one day wish to have the experience. And from one experience it may lead to more and then consistent gambling which is not very good at that young age.

It would surely have an affect on some of the student's, honestly there shouldn't be anything that could distract a student near or close to an institution of learning.

[Bravut]

I believe only students that gamble will patronise such casino, there is no such thing like distraction because the casino ain't built/Mounted in the campus but rather outside. Undisciplined ones will surely gamble too wether or not it is close or far, we just take this on a neutral ground as it a matter of choice and I believe the effect is subjective to each individual student personality.
If we are saying near institution as the bais, what about others built in residential areas..?, it same thing, who wants to get distracted will get distracted, while those that know what they went to school for will surely achieve the aim.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

It is very true what you say, that children are very curious and the truth is that for everything they always want to do the things that adults do, so in view of these things we have to See that when there are places for children, parents have to do a better job of supervision and guidance, children are people who will always look for a way to do things just like adults, but this is Something we cannot control, personally, children should be talked to about casinos and especially about what has to do with games, but this is delicate, you have to know how to Explain it.

Exactly, if we possibly have to talk to children about gambling and it's possible effects, we have to know how to explain it, else, our efforts might turn out to be counter productive.
If you read my other comments on one of the threads that was posted on this board which states that parent should not or never gamble in front of their kids, I did emphasized on the fact that sometimes, it's simply better to not talk about gambling to kids, especially the ones that have never gambled before, because there is a way we can talk to them about it, what we say becomes more like a trigger that drives that child to want to gamble, we all know that children likes to explore, if we fail to use the right words while talking to them about gambling, we just might end up making them choose gambling as their next adventure.

This actually reminds me of my days in secondary school, I would skip class with a friend of mine to go gamble in a bet shop that is in our school area,but it doesn't necessarily mean that all the students or a major traffic if customers were students, but I could also negatively affect the students in that area and make them to be exposed to the world of underaged gambling and if not careful they could become addicts easily.

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.

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.

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.

[ethereumhunter]

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.

[Webetcoins]

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.

[vs2014]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
