Gambling and casinos are spreading in such a way that in the distant future it will become so popular that the younger generation will not be able to get out of it. But if the youth generation is educated about the dangers and positive aspects of gambling then the youth would become a national asset for us. Moreover, gambling and casinos can change the economic situation in a country, especially in countries where gambling and casinos are directly legal, the government receives a certain amount of revenue from gambling and casinos.
Gambling is already so popular that almost all average college kids might have had some experience with it in one way or another. It's something that what parents need to focus on now is how to educate the kids on how not to follow the wrong step of gambling. If they are to be allowed to gamble, they should be sure to follow the rules of the game in order not to get addicted.
Yeah, in terms of revenue generation. I believe it's already happening in most places where gambling is legal, as the casinos are remitting taxes on a monthly basis to the regulator, and such money can help in building up the economic standard of such a nation.
