Peter Aronson reports from Mississippi on Kids Quest, a child care center at the Grand Casino Biloxi. Gamblers with children appreciate the convenience that Kids Quest provides. With its colorful atmosphere and video karaoke, Kids Quest is also popular among kids. Gambling critics argue that by offering child care, casinos are only encouraging compulsive gambling among parents. While the people who run the Kids Quest at the Grand Casino Biloxi believe that they provide a safe and exciting environment for kids, they are worried that some parents over-use the facility.
