It is illegal. The answer is they are trying to create future customers, a process often called “grooming”. These gaming establishments are grooming young children to become their adult gamblers of the future. This is the same process that tobacco companies have used for years to create interest in children for tobacco products (done via indirect advertising, of course) to create adult smokers/chewers/dippers.
