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?

I see nothing wrong with that and even if students go there and gamble, it's not the fault of the casino or the owner of the casino for opening it near a learning institution. Let me tell you that a person who doesn't want to gamble won't do it even if they have a casino in front of their house, and someone who is into it would travel miles only to get to a casino so that they can gamble, so it all depends on a person and what they wish and want to do.

Legally there is nothing wrong with having casinos around institution of learning but I think it should depend on the level of education we are talking about. If it is university, the effect will be lower because the students would have come of age and can manage their time and resources better so that they don't face major distraction as a result of gambling. But for lower level of education, having gambling around them might pose serious dangers. So if I have to give my opinion, I will suggest that casinos should not be located around younger children environment.
