The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board took actions to place 22 individuals on its various Involuntary Exclusion Lists. Placement on an Involuntary Exclusion List prohibits individuals from either gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the Board, or at a Video Gaming Terminal (“VGT”) location.
The actions by the Board today include placement of five adults on the Involuntary Casino Exclusion list for leaving minors unattended at a casino property while they gambled:
- A female patron who left two children, ages 8 and 9, in a hotel room at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows for 7 hours 41 minutes while she gambled at table games;
- A female patron who left three children, ages 2, 6 and 12, in a vehicle in the parking lot at Hollywood Casino York for 29 minutes while she gambled at slot machines and table games;
- A female patron who left a 10-year-old in a hotel room at Wind Creek Bethlehem Casino for 3 hours 37 minutes while she gambled at table games;
- A female patron who left a 10-year-old in the bus lobby at Wind Creek Bethlehem Casino for 17 minutes while she gambled at slot machines; and,
- A female patron who left a 9-year-old in a vehicle in the parking lot at Parx Casino for 23 minutes while she gambled at table games.
In addition to the five adults listed above, 12 others were placed on the Involuntary Casino Exclusion List along with the placement of five additional persons on the Involuntary Interactive Exclusion List for committing fraud on iGaming or Sports Wagering sites.
