This sounds immediately quite strange to me,,, but there is probably something in there that we are not aware of. Five year old kids can maybe GO inside a casino but I doubt the employees would actually entertain a kid walking inside it right?

That has to be a very bad wikipedia entry:)

Even if they allow it I will not allow my 5-year-old kid to spend times in casinos there are a lot of bad things that your kid won't want to see in casinos, and the kid will learn that it's ok to spend your parent's money in gambling because they not have the means to support themselves maybe it's just a bad entry, someone has to confirm this.  
But there are kids who makes money via illegal ways and they choose to spend it on gambling and its strange that some countries allow those crime kids to play legally just because they are going to bring income to the governments. Huh
Agree, kids are still blinded on different situations happening behind a real-world that consists of money so definitely it'll be dangerous for them if they adapt it an early age. I doubt the Malawi government did good research about the age restriction when it comes to gambling. Even until now, grown-ups that's exposed in money can't even handle a huge amount of money, then what about a kid without any experiences?

As much as possible, in my opinion, kids should not be exposed to any form of gambling. Because this is the stage where you shape a growing individual. Because if it is my kids, I really will not let them explore the world of gambling at all cost. Better guide them to other valuable activities and hone their skills and talents rather than introduce them to gambling.
Agree, definitely kids should be at school or home enhancing their own skills or doing some house chores that will help the family. Kids going  to casino is very absurd and the reasoning of Malawi is also absurd. The future of the kid depends on how do they act at an early stage so don't let them expose on gambling or money if they can't still determine what's right and wrong.
