No one under the age of 21 will be
allowed to access onto the Casino floor or be able to
participate in gaming activities. The entrance to the
Casino is also specifically designed to facilitate
control of underage
entry. In addition that, the prominent signs will be
displayed at the entrance and at the other areas of the
facility prohibiting those under age 21 from admission
and gambling. They are; however, welcome to enjoy
shopping, dining and shows.

table or desk flashing cards, chips and dice and laying
out money like in a casino. They could, however, be
wagering a toothpick that represents a dollar amount,
and there are still no proof that the wagering is going

problem is not reported to police. "I have to If its

gamble instead of being educated? This may be an alert
to school administrations." Parents might be ignorant of
a problem with their own children gambling, he said,
because they tend to look for more obvious signs of a
troubled teen like the apathy and bloodshot eyes of a
drug user or the stale stench from a beer binge. The
same, to a degree, holds true for law enforcement, he
said.
Conclusion:
It is very injurious to
practice gambling in the age of minor as it will attract
the kids toward the money and make
