The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board on Wednesday placed 15 people on its various involuntary exclusion lists.
Placement on an involuntary exclusion list bans people from gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the board, or at a video gaming terminal location.
Presented by the Board’s Office of Chief Counsel and Office of Enforcement Counsel, the actions raise the number of people on the board’s various involuntary exclusion lists to 1,405. The actions include placement of nine people on the involuntary casino exclusion list, including three adults who left minors unattended while gambling in a Pennsylvania casino:
- A man who left his 3-year-old child in a vehicle in the parking lot of Rivers Philadelphia Casino for four minutes to gamble at a sports wagering kiosk.
- A man and woman who left a 5-year-old child in a non-running vehicle for 50 minutes in the parking lot of Parx Casino when the outside temperature was 19 degrees while they gambled at table games.
Six other people were placed on the board’s Involuntary Interactive Gaming Exclusion list for fraudulent actions involving igaming.
The Gaming Control Board is next scheduled to meet 10 a.m. July 23 in the Public Hearing Room on the second floor of the Strawberry Square Complex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
