Lakeside Casino in Osceola is paying a $40,000 penalty for allowing two minors on the gambling floor in separate instances in January. One cases involved a 12 year old who got onto the floor with his mother, and the other involved a 14 year old who got onto the floor with her mother and played a slot machine.

Lakeside general manager David Monroe told the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission Thursday security measures were not followed.

“The incidents that occurred in January are the result of a couple of employees failing to follow the training and guidelines that they had committed to,” he says.
