They're already money printers, why would they waste even a dollar on something that would just be a liability?

Less bad publicity because as you know people are idiots and will leave their kids in a locked car in summer with the windows up. If I were the casino I would hedge people's idiocy to avoid headlines like "Dead children locked in car in front of Casino"

People, particularly casino regulars, aren't going to be turned away in the unlikely event someone leaves their kid to die in a car. When has that ever hurt a company's business?

New development, construction, or change of ownership are all subject to government oversight and involvement. If I owned a casino and wanted to start a new project subject to government interference, I’d rather do it when the public wasn’t pissed off at me and likely to put political pressure on politicians to “do something”.
And then some suit sees a chance to look like a hero and loudly fucks up what was supposed to be normal quiet business as usual.

What?

Casinos know this doesn't reflect badly on them, only on the person who left the child. No reason to take on childcare liability.

It may end up being worse publicity since it would look like enabling people with gambling problems. Checking for kids at the parking lot entrance may work though

Especially if there were no limit to how many hours in a 24h period you could leave your kid there.

That won’t stop gamblers from going to the casino.

The same reason they give out free hotel rooms, because then people can come gamble with more ease.

Free hotel rooms are easy though. Daycares come with a lot of regulations and liability issues
