Kids don't have money and they aren't responsible enough to gamble. Plus they serve alcohol in most Casinos and adults don't want a bunch of kids running around acting crazy. I don't see whats creepy about that

adults be drinking around their kids all the time, and they could always ask their parents for money. :shrug:

the point im trying to make is these casinos look as if they were made for kids, but they are not for kids, they are for adults, it makes no sense..

Casinos and gambling act on the same pleasure receptors that a lot of addictive drugs do similarly. We don't want our kids becoming gambling addicts much like we don't want our kids becoming drug addicts.

The design of most casinos is actually quite brilliant. Usually no clocks or windows so there's no notice to a passage of time, oxygen being pumped through.the ventilation to keep you alert and awake, the constant flashing and noises making it always appear that someone is winning all the time, dim lights, soft music, maze of passages that lead you back to the slots, low quality/cheap alcohol usually served by attractive woman, the machines designed to let everyone get a little taste of victory.

It's morally wrong to prey on kids, but adults stupid enough to fall for it, we'll they should know better, the powers above us probably realizes that places are designed to drain idiots of their money, and children are even bigger idiots than adults. Most people go for fun, but theyre designed to keep the 10% who believe if they keep throwing their money away it'll pay off coming back, and kids are even more susceptible to fall for it. Osculate brought up a really good point too.

that might be true for a small subset of people who are essentially gambling addicts.

but believe it or not, most people who go into a casino already know they will lose money before they even walk in. between buying dinner, drinks, and gambling, any rational person knows their not going to walk out rich, and will only walk out with a little extra if they get lucky


casinos are fun. its entertainment. everyone who goes in isnt necessarily a gambling addict or idiot

I've been in a few in Nevada and Colorado. Binky lights and shiny chrome everywhere. Meh. Gambling doesn't really appeal to me. Although I do buy a lottery ticket to a smaller, state wide lottery. Sucker's bet, I know, but a guy can dream once in a while....

I said that in the part you quoted :sad:. Most people.go.for fun, but about 10% or so throw fuck tons of money, while most go for fun or with a set amount to spend, and those places are designed to prey on the ones who aren't smart enough to conserve.

It seems to be inherent in people, alcohol for example, 90% of people drink for fun or on occasion, but roughly 10% drink way more. I'd have to find it but I remember reading a few articles on how the alcohol industry is also reliant on that 10%, they'd still be profitable without it most likely but they basically beg people to drink more. Southpark of all people.evem.raised that issue in a hilarious way in they're latest season I believe too, the one where Stan gets addicted to a game and keeps spending money on it

I really don't understand why children aren't allowed to gamble.  People are allowed to market directly to children over TV, in stores, in print.  Why can't children buy lottery tickets or scratch offs?  They have limited amounts of income so it isn't like they can really go over the deep end.  While we are at it, why can't teenagers buy porn?  They do the majority of the masturbating, yet when I was a kid we had to find porn in the trash.  I understand why kids can't drink alcohol, and that makes sense.  Allowing them to drink with their parents doesn't, and barring them from gambling which is a harmless activity doesn't either.  Should giving a child scratch off tickets be illegal?  What about arcades that give allow you to win prizes that have value by winning a wager?  Seems like one of those rules society has a bunch of inconsistent reasons for.  Kids shouldn't be allowed in casinos because no one wants them there, not because they shouldn't be able to gamble.  Just my opinion.

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.

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.

Kids can get way addicted to all sorts of video games, even very poorly made ones. And they are allowed to piss away any money they get their hands on in a lot of stupid ways. But if they can win money it's gambling. Except I think they can enter those cereal box type contests and those probably are allowed to have cash prizes, so there is a legal way for them to pay to gamble. I guess the cutoff really is "no purchase necessary". If you can enter without purchase by doing a skill testing question or a drawing a product barcode by hand, they're allowed to offer the option of purchasing a product to gamble in the contest. Then it's all above board and no problem to advertise directly to kids.
