Gaming board fines Mount Airy Casino Resort $120,000

Mount Airy Casino Resort was fined $120,000 by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the board announced.

Mount Airy #1 LLC, the operator of the casino/resort in Monroe County, was fined for failure to timely submit internal audit plans, a stipulation of its Statement of Conditions for licensure.

The board also fined two other Pennsylvania casinos.

Downs Racing L.P., operator of Mohegan Pennsylvania casino in Luzerne County, received a fine of $20,000 for two incidents in which supervisory employees worked without the proper board-issued permit; and Sugarhouse HSP Gaming, L.P., operator of Rivers Casino Philadelphia, a $7,500 fine for not properly notifying its security and surveillance staff along with law enforcement about an alleged cheating incident at a table game involving marked cards.

The board also acted on petitions to ban three adults from all casinos in the commonwealth for leaving a total of six children unattended in order to engage in gaming activities:

A man was placed on the Involuntary Exclusion List after leaving three children, ages 3, 8, and 10 unattended in a vehicle in the Mohegan Pennsylvania casino parking lot while he wagered at the sportsbook.

A woman was placed on the list after leaving two children, ages 2 and 5 unattended in the food court at Valley Forge Casino Resort in order to wager at the sportsbook.

A woman was placed on the list after leaving her 13-year-old child unattended in a vehicle at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course while she cashed a check and gambled on slot machines.
