02/22/03 - Casinos Cash In with Child Care for Players - As the number of casinos expands across America, so has a little-known amenity for parents who gamble — onsite child-care centers that are as dazzling for kids as the casino floor — just yards away — is for adults. With computer games, basketball court, children's cafe, movies and cribs for infants as young as 6 weeks, children can stay as late as 2 a.m. on weekends and 11 p.m. on school nights while their parents play. While providing a fun and safe environment for children, Kids Quest centers, which are located in 20 casinos nationwide, are in fact bottom-line enterprises, intended to attract high-rolling parents, increase casino profits — and create the next generation of gamblers. |
