Live! Philadelphia has been slapped with a $10,000 fine by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for failing to prevent patrons from entering back-of-house areas reserved for employees.
At its monthly meeting Wednesday morning, the state regulator approved a consent agreement with the casino which covers two incidents that took place in May 2021 and February 2022.
In the first instance, a female patron was able to spend more than two hours roaming various offices, corridors, and stairwells supposed to be off-limits before she was caught and accused of taking money and credit cards from employees’ belongings. In the second case, three patrons initially blocked from entering Live! Philadelphia because they did not meet proof-of-vaccination requirements in place at the time were able to circumvent that by entering through areas reserved for employees.
