The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board banned four people from all casinos in the Commonwealth after leaving children unattended so they could gamble in a casino.

The Office of Enforcement Counsel presented four cases to the Board involving unattended children left in parked vehicles or in a hotel room at casinos in Pennsylvania.

One included a male parent who left his 5-year-old unattended in a Mount Airy Casino Resort hotel room while he gambled in the casino. The incident was uncovered after the parent reported the child missing, though the child was later found by security sleeping in the room.

In making these decisions regarding the four adults, the board is reminding the gambling public to not leave children unattended in the parking lot or garage, a hotel, or other venue at a casino.
