In a public hearing, the fines were approved in accordance with consent orders from the Office of Enforcement Counsel. Over the course of 20 months, Wind Creek Bethlehem was fined for 10 instances in which people between the ages of 18 and 20 were able to enter the gaming area. The Board called attention to these infractions as grave regulatory breaches.<\/p>\n<h2>Minors Left Unattended<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the fines, the PGCB addressed cases involving minors left unattended by adults engaged in gaming activities. Two adults were banned from all state casinos for such offenses. One incident involved a male patron who left a 5-month-old baby alone in a running car at Harrah\u2019s Philadelphia Casino &#038; Racetrack. The temperature in the garage at that time was 47 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>The second case involved a female patron who left a 4-year-old child unattended in a non-running vehicle at <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino\/is-rivers-casino-open-on-christmas-day\/\">Rivers Philadelphia Casino<\/a>. The child was alone for 15 minutes in a parking lot where the outside temperature was 95 degrees. The woman\u2019s request to be removed from the Involuntary Exclusion List for this 2017 incident was denied.<\/p>\n<p>The PGCB emphasized the dangers of leaving minors unattended at casinos. <em>\u201cThe board\u2019s actions 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,\u201d<\/em> the board stated. The regulator also warned that such actions could lead to criminal prosecution and permanent exclusion from all Pennsylvania casinos.<\/p>\n<p>The Board\u2019s stringent measures underscore the importance of adhering to regulations designed to protect minors and maintain the integrity of gaming operations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/kats-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Kats Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/kats-casino-1.jpg.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/kats-casino\/\" title=\"Kats Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kats Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>250% Extra + $125 Free Chip!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only. 250% on 1st Deposit + $125 Free Chip<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-rating box-25 relative mb-10\">\n<div class=\"rating-box text-center box-100  relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-rating-box relative\">\n<div class=\"stars\"><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-rating-notice relative\">Casino<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-button box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-button-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/kats-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\tVisit Site<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/pennsylvania-gaming-board-fines-wind-creek-bethlehem-125000\/\">Pennsylvania Gaming Board Fines Wind Creek Bethlehem $125,000<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For permitting minors to access its gaming floor, Wind Creek Bethlehem was fined $125,000 by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB).
