That's ridiculous. Even a small increase in oxygen levels renders thing much more flammable. There is no way fire codes would allow such a thing.
You're right, my mistake, I learned it a while ago to be honest and I just Googled it after you said that and it was just a myth that was debunked

I was in Las Vegas about 2 weeks ago and i asked that same question. They wouldn't let me into clubs or let me anywhere near the machines. I asked an older friend of mine who is 27 and he said it's because people under 21 don't have stable jobs and if they get addicted to gambling they won't be able to support their habit because people under 21 don't typically have a stable source of income and are seen as less mature to be able to handle the vice of gambling.
It's bullshit man. If we can die for this country at 18 we should be able to drink and gamble. Unfortunately Las Vegas is driven by money and status and they will never change rules that will play against those two things.
I could still walk around in casinos like the Linq High roller and but the second I stood to close to a machine for too long they would tell I had to step away from the machines. It was especially rampant in the nicer hotels like Caesars Palace and Mgm

They'd be handing out money to people they know woukd lose it all the while knowing they won't be able to pay it back because they don't even have any assets or property at that age, and kids would probably be more susceptible to borrowing from the casino in order to keep playing once they lost what they showed up wi th

Well, that's a bit different as an 18 year old isn't a child, but a young man or woman. I do agree with you that 18 year olds should be allowed to gamble. But I don't think a Casino is the place for, say, a 12 year old.

i completely agree that anyone should be allowed to throw their money or life away, no matter what age they are. but going to vegas if you are underage is just pointless
your lucky you even got to step into the casinos. noone under 21 can get into the ones in PA, at all. not even to watch.

Yeah we got a hotel in Vegas and stayed in the actual city for only one full day. Spent the rest of our time in California and Arizona. Vegas can get boring after one day if you aren't 21, still seeing the city at night and seeing all the awesome hotels is pretty awesome.

You gotta pick some threshold.
Kids aren't allowed to gamble because they are even stupider that adult gamblers

It makes perfect sense. They are trying to push the adult into little kid mode to make him or her more playful, and take unadult risks with large sums of money.
Little kids fantasize and practice magical thinking. Thats exactly what they want around the roulette table.
Not a real kid of course, a big kid with a huge stable income who doesnt mind tossing thousands in the fire cause he had so much fun.

Why shouldn't people under the age of 18 be allowed to gamble? It's not like its a physically harmful activity. Is it addictive? Potentially, but so are a lot of other things children do many of which are physically harmful. Why not ban those as well. We let children beat the shit out of each other, and as long as they are wearing protective gear that is some how legal. Gambling is illegal for children because it is considered an immoral vice, not because it's unhealthy to children.

I got into buying lottery tickets for a bit when I was 12 or so, early 90s. The store clerks just sold them to me no problem. Maybe they would have conveniently remembered the rules if I won a more substantial amount that would be paid out in-store.
The fact that kids normally have limited access to money makes the whole thing kind of self limiting I think. You have a chance to learn early in life that lotteries are bullshit.
