Casino/gambling center near an institution of learning?

[Gozie51]

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?

It is inconsequential if casino or gambling house is located close to institution of learning especially tertiary institutions because they have all student to supposedly be 18 and above. It is institution for higher learning and therefore saddled with exposure too and right to make a choice not out of their own volition. Moreover, those students there are not kids, they have android phones and can access whatever casino they want online, so bringing it close to them doesn't matter because they have choice to make as adults. Whether bringing it closer or farther, they are adults with choice to make in whatever they want.

Students will want to gamble more than they'll want to read because many people don't believe in the education system anymore and want to make money while they're young so that they can enjoy the money until they get older. Opening a casino near a learning institution will distract the students that wants to lean.

When they see other students coming out of the casino as winners, they'll want to try too. That'll see thsoe coming out as losers but it won't make them scared but make them to want to try too thinking they can do better than the people that are coming out defeated. It is just a bad Idea to do this, let us not distract the students that wants to study and make an impact in the world through education.
There are other places that a casino can open and they'll make money because they'll have customers that are adults and are responsible for the way they use their money. Teens should be left alone, I don't support gambling to be done anywhere near where learning institution are located.

Absolutely disagree. If I open an expensive restaurant near learning institution, does it mean students will get distracted by food, and all they think would be eating instead of studying. Dont forget that student is often described as person who isnt rich, or dont have spare money. After studies, many students either hang out with friends, or go to work. Students pass many different buildings, that does not mean they get obsessed with all of them.

What do you mean "other students coming out of the casino as winners" ? First of all, how do you understand if a person that leaves a building is a winner. Second - who would allow underaged to enter casino? Third - you think someone would on purpose stand near casino and wait for winner to came out, to get triggered by that and start gambling himself? Fourth - when was the last time you saw someone winning a lot, and do it frequent?

People's opinions on this matter may be divided, some say that it is legitimate to build casinos/gambling centers around learning institutions, but there are also those who say that this does not have a significant impact. But as far as I understand, countries that legalize gambling have regulations on gambling places that want to build their buildings around institutions of learning. It is emphasized that gambling establishments are not permitted to build their buildings close to institutions of learning zones, because it is feared that it will affect the psychology of students and distract their focus in studying, and it is also related to social and ethical matters. So there are several things that we need to pay attention to in this case and it depends on the social conditions and education of the community, this can have a significant impact or not at all.

I think it is pretty clear that there is an effect on kids if there is a casino close to a school.

It's similar to laws that don't allow pubs or bottle shops near a school.

It's pretty obvious really. You don't want to have people with minds still in development to be unnecessarily addicted to certain things.

I am sure there are laws that regulate the establishment of casinos in any country, therefore it is not necessary to just build a casino just anywhere. If a casino is built in a place that is located close to educational facilities, hospitals, etc., it will be subject to sanctions or even closed. I mean that a land-based casino will set up a casino by submitting a letter to the government (if in that country casinos are legalized). Of course there are several requirements that must be met in order to operate properly according to applicable regulations. For example the location is more than 10 kilometers from schools and hospitals, the environment is a place where there is a lot of tourist interaction, etc.

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.

My thoughts? I’m sure that I can’t have a closer information or explanation for this as someone who is living in a country where gambling and casinos are allowed. I must say that this question also is so unique to our forum and very rarely we see such kind of questions. Let me think if there is a casino near a school or any kind of learning institution, what’s going to happen? Clearly there will be an influence towards the students or children for having a fun activity against what most of humans would compare towards a less fan activity.
Casinos will have better facilities when it comes to lights and marketing outsides, because simply games always looks better than a book, but not all games are better than a book of course.

Over this thing and question, I must say it is totally the responsibility of parents to prevent this thing, if the student is under age, than he shouldn’t let be influenced. Parents should let casinos ti be built beside and near a learning institution of any kind, or in worse case, to not let that person near it. They always say protection is better than any treatment.

Life is not fair to some people and the students as well, all hands are not equal, if at all it's right, some student will never gamble because from all indications, they are doing it for survival, some of their parents sent little money to them and they sacrifice few from there to try their luck and I a witness to say that they do win. The smart ones can spare as high as 2% of what was sent to them and then gamble it but they don't exceed this level because they know the implications of over gambling.

The wana be clever ones will used all their money to gamble and start running from one hostel to another after they lose their money to gamble, it's a pity they beg all through out the month for survival but as soon as they received alert from their parents, they will disappear into thin air, use all money for gambling and then return back to their usual begging. It's funny and it break my heart seeing student with such behavior.

It's proven that 48% of students gamble to try and make money, and only about 11% of students on average win in a week. Also, it's particularly important to note that students begin to miss lectures, fail to submit assignments and hide their problems from friends, when infested with gambling problems. These factors determines how bad it is to remind students of gambling, by launching multiple gambling centers close to campuses. However, student's dependence for money tempts them into patronizing close by casino outlets. Other elements like fun show no valid evidence for student's engagement in such an abstract activity, which is not pertaining to why they're studying. The bottom line is for students to disclose earlier to friends about their gambling problems. Sites like Gamcare also should be used to communicate with an expert who can talk to a student in dreaded times of problematic gambling.

Well, that could be applied in gambling casinos where minors are allowed to gamble. But here in my country, those who can be seen often gambling are those people who have nothing to do in their life and get easily bored, and those who have stable jobs but are left restless and exhausted, so they resort into gambling to find entertainment. While those minors, they can gamble but most likely in online casinos.

Still, it is not a good idea to put gambling platforms near any school or institution of learning because these students might misinterpret it and might be thinking that they are the target of the casino near them.

Depends on the working hours of the gambling shop. Most of them operates during the evening and night hours which don't coincide with the time of lectures. I remember that casino nearby  college  I  have used to go to was opening from 16 pm thus I never missed lectures though sometimes visited it on Sunday evenings..

That's if their school is near with the casino so they will curious with what inside the casino and will trying to find out. That can makes them start playing gambling with their friends even they can do that after they school. Yes, that can makes them becomes addicted to gambling without anyone knows because they can hide what they do in the casino from other people.

In their age, they will gets addicted to gambling easily because they can't control themselves well and can gets tempts easily from gambling. They will not realizes if they already used their money to playing gambling and if that money is gone, they can ask to their parents. It needs control from their parents and their teachers and always explain what is the danger of playing gambling in their age.

Totally negative as I live near a school,high school and elementary and before 2019 casinos here were legal to be placed anywhere while now are only regulated by the government and only big ones allowed.When the thing were legal anywhere I had 2 small casinos in my own alley and it was a real bad experience as I saw people,I mean kids who their parents had given them money for a sandwich or a pie to buy in the the big break of 30 minutes they did not buy to eat and instead they got to the casino to play slots with their 2 Euros or to place sport bets,from this I conclude that nothing good comes having a casino near a learning/educational institute and I have the living proof which I just shared here.It is always against the overall well being of our society as these kids when they grow up they become not good ones,they in most cases become bad ones ending in jail or even worse.

Although the working hours between students and casinos are not consistent, such a close location has been a platform to recruit a large number of users at a young age, not even old enough for gambling games, maybe people at educational institutions won't miss any classes, and will even study more diligently, but after class, it's a shower of gambling and betting. If there really are such centers close to places of education, perhaps intervention from higher leadership will be needed, the policy will be to relocate this casino facility to another place that has reduced attention from students
