The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is not new to these violations, they created the “Don’t Gamble with Kids” awareness campaign. The average length of time was 14 minutes but police officers at the Valley Forge Casino Resort had to break into a car to free a one-year-old child left in a vehicle for nine minutes with the outside temperature at 84 degrees. Two men, and two women were caught in four separate incidents leaving their children in vehicles while they went inside casinos to gamble. On top of the two fines, four adults were punished. Their operator received a $40,000 fine when regulators found three underage persons who gambled in the casino. The second was the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, PA.
The fines hit two companies, $5,000 was charged to Lightning Gaming Inc, a manufacturer of slot machines who failed to notify the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for changes to their finance status. The Office of Enforcement Counsel presented a list of rule violations to the state’s gaming control board and they approved $45,000 in fines and placed four adults on the involuntary exclusion list. Pennsylvania’s Gaming Control Board announced on Wednesday several punishments for casino violations.
