The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board on Wednesday placed 19 people on its various Involuntary Exclusion Lists.
Placement on the lists bans people from gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the board or a video gaming terminal location.
After the new exclusions, 1,363 people are on the PGCB’s various Involuntary Exclusion Lists.
The actions by the PGCB Wednesday include two people who left a minor or minors unattended while gambling in a casino:
- A man who left two children, ages 8 and 13, in a vehicle in the parking lot of Valley Forge Resort Casino for 52 minutes while he gambled.
- A woman left an 8-year-old unattended in a hotel room at Live! Casino and Hotel Philadelphia for more than an hour while she gambled on slot machines.
The PGCB also denied a request for removal from the list by a woman who in 2022 left three children, ages 10, 14 and 15, unattended in a vehicle in the parking garage of Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course for 1 hour and 41 minutes while she gambled at slot machines.
The board also added eight people to the Involuntary Casino Exclusion List whose presence in a casino would be “inimical to the interest of the Commonwealth due to various crimes or actions,” the PGCB stated.
Nine people were placed on the PGCB’s Involuntary Interactive Gaming list for fraudulent actions.
The PGCB approved a consent agreement presented by its Office of Enforcement Counsel resulting in a fine of $10,000 jointly against Washington Trotting Association, operator of Hollywood Casino at The Meadows and Sports Information Services Limited, a sports wagering operator doing business in Pennsylvania as Kambi. The fine was the result of permitting a person to post 35 past-posted sports wagers at kiosks in the casino.
