State regulators issued a $78,000 fine to the operators of Hollywood Casino York for failing to meet security requirements.
According to a consent agreement between the casino and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, which oversees gambling regulations, the Springettsbury Township site failed to meet minimum staffing requirements during 55 gambling days between May 29 and Sept. 17, 2022.
In a section of the consent agreement titled “mitigating circumstances,” Hollywood Casino said it hired a new security director in July 2022. Afterward, the casino noted that hiring within its security department “accelerated significantly.”
The casino, according to PGCB documents, estimates it needs 23 security officers to meet minimum security staffing requirements.
