I don't think it's ideal to gamble in front of children. I don't try it in their presence. I feel it's more like taking their childhood away from them and reconfiguring their brain too early enough to see life life from a wrong perspective of uncertainty at their level at a time they should be more creative with their minds and focus on skills and smart work.
Children exposed to gambling at early ages may end up detesting hard work and start thinking solely of shortcuts to being rich since they may not fully understand that gambling isn't to be used as a source of income. Exposing a child to gambling from a younger age may have a negative impression on the way the child developed mentally into adulthood.
That's a very good point! Let's put it this way: gambling, which falls under the category of “adult entertainment,” is in the same category as tobacco, alcohol, intimate relationships, and many other things that are too early for children to understand and observe. If they see us doing it, they perceive it as normal and continue to believe that they can do it too. I don't think I need to explain where that leads. Everything has its time, and before that time comes, there is no need to accustom them to adult life.
This is a very good interpretation and to back it up furthermore gambling has age restrictions that proves it’s an adult entertainment only.
It’s irresponsible for someone to a minor do this thing especially if he is showing a discomfort emotion from the game. In my country, Smoking, drinking and other things that you mention are done casually in public even in front of minor that’s why it’s become a norm for a teenager here to try those things because even parents encourage them to try it.
Philippines has a high number of gambler due to this public display of gambling.
