Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board bans 14 from casinos
PENNSYLVANIA (WTAJ) — Fourteen people have been placed on Pennsylvania's casino exclusion list, including one woman who left her infants alone in the car.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has placed each of them on the Involuntary Exclusion List, which will prevent them from gambling at any Pennsylvania casino or online.
Pennsylvania gambled over $558M in April, over 10% increase from last year
Among the people excluded is a female patron who left her twin 7-month-old babies in a car at the Valley Forge Casino Resort for 5 minutes to obtain a cash out at the sportsbook.
'Actions such as these to deny statewide gambling privileges serve as a reminder that adults are prohibited from leaving minors unattended in the parking lot or garage, a hotel, or other venues at a casino since it creates a potentially unsafe and dangerous environment for the children,' The PGCB said in a release.
There were also nine people who got placed on the Involuntary Interactive Gaming Exclusion list due to fraudulent activity while online gambling.
The PGCB added that there are a total of 1,391 people on the Involuntary Exclusion List in Pennsylvania.
