Casino/gambling center near an institution of learning?

[bittraffic]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

[danherbias07]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, it should really be dependent with a student's mindset and hobbies. If he has full control of oneself with his bets or with students who doesn't even gamble, then things would be fine but again, government rules are more superior than out point of views.

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.

[crwth]

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.

I would like to think and believe that if such gambling business could operate in such an environment so close to an institution of learning, it could probably be for understudy, so that the students could see firsthand, what the outcome of excessive gambling is.
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.

This is not to be opened to young people or school children but the school building is near the center of the gambling place either intentionally or unintentionally, this is indeed the government must provide strict regulations that gambling places must be kept away from places or educational institutions, maybe like that it is better, because gambling has a big influence if it is close to the school institution environment, school children will pass by there every day and may attract students to try, we know that students are always curious about something new and maybe that will happen which will be bad for school children, it will interfere with their focus on learning.

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

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.
