I guess the question becomes, do you not implement a solution that provides care for children of gamblers to avoid enabling addicts or do you provide a service that potentially saves a child(s) life but possibly enables/furthers gambling addictions of parents?

I guess it would boil down to how much it would cost (in actual costs plus the cost of making a potentially bad PR move). I would be really surprised to find out the casino industry hasn't done any inquiry into the idea and decided against it already, because on its face it seems logical if they want to attract customers. I wouldn't think the industry would start up daycare operations for any altruistic reasons

ETA other people have posted that some local casinos in Vegas do this already, so it must make sense for them.
