TUOLUMNE, Calif. – Casinos are exclusively a place for adults to enjoy gambling entertainment, but could casinos become something for the whole family? These casinos aren’t allowing any children to play blackjack or enter the gambling floor, but they are creating new ways to bring the whole family to the casino.
Black Oak Casino Resort in Tuolumne, California announced their partnership with Kids Quest and Cyber Quest, which will offer entertainment and supervision of children at the casino resort. Kids Quest will provide a supervised childcare area with entertaining activities for kids ranging 30 months to 12 years old, while Cyber Quest offers an arcade experience for kids and teens.
Bringing Kids To The Casino: Good Or Bad Thing?
When players 21 years or older play legal online blackjack in California, there’s no gambling exposure to children. However, bringing the kids to the casino gives them potentially dangerous exposure to gambling culture.
Troy Dunkley, CEO of Kids Quest/Cyber Quest, states, “We are thrilled that Kids Quest and Cyber Quest will be the next family attractions at Black Oak Casino Resort. Alongside Elevate (new family jump facility) and the upcoming kid’s pool upgrades, we’re confident that our addition will open up exciting new opportunities for family travelers.”
Introducing a family experience to the casino is controversial, but there are also plans to renovate the 148 hotel rooms, add 48 new suites and build two aquatic facilities. Illani Casino in Ridgefield, Washington already has a Kids Quest and Cyber Quest that offers child supervision and an arcade.
For $15 an hour, parents can drop their kids off at the supervised entertainment area while they hit the gambling floor. The Kids Quest make sure there’s no wandering off to play Washington blackjack with their enclosed area, making it a seemingly safe gaming experience for parents and kids.
