Summary

  • PGCB expands its list of individuals prohibited from playing in the state in various forms by 18 people
  • Four people were specifically named for leaving children unattended, with the regulator reminding the public about its Don’t Gamble With Kids campaign
  • Another 14 people were added to the state’s Involuntary Casino Exclusion List for unspecified reasons
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has continued to issue bans against individuals and block them from accessing the Keystone State’s casinos. The individuals targeted by the watchdog will also not be able to access video gaming terminals or iGaming products.

PGCB targets gamblers who left children unattended

Among the more serious offenses cited by the regulator were four people who left children unattended. While the PGCB usually targets casinos over these incidents, it has been consistent in outright prohibiting adults from gambling in the state. The four cases recently cited by the regulator included a woman who left childrenaged 8 and 13 at Valley Forge Casino Resort for 52 minutes. Another woman left a 10-year-old child in a vehicle at Live! Casino Philadelphia’s parking lot for 3 hours and 8 minutes, while a man left their 12-year-old in a vehicle at the Hollywood Casino York’s parking lot for 30minutes. A woman played at the Mount Airy Casino Resort for 1 hour and 48 minutes, leaving three childrenaged 8, 9, and 13 in a hotel room. The PGCB has once again reiterated that it is actively trying to raise awareness about these kinds of accidents, specifically through its Don’t Gamble with Kids campaign designed to highlight these accidents and remind residents and out-of-state visitors about the state’s child protection laws. The PGCB also banned another 14 people, adding them to the regulator’s Involuntary Casino Exclusion List for various reasons, with the watchdog not specifying what exactly.
