(WBRE/WYOU) — The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board announced 15 people have been banned from Pennsylvania casinos and online gambling after going against various laws.
Being placed on an Involuntary Exclusion List prohibits people from either gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the Board, or at a Video Gaming Terminal location.
The Board placed 15 people on the Involuntary Casino Exclusion List, including four adults who left minors unattended while gambling in a Pennsylvania casino:
A man who left two 3-year-olds in a vehicle in the parking lot of Parx Casino for 16 minutes while he gambled in the sportsbook
A woman who left two 11-year-olds in a vehicle in the parking lot at Presque Isle Downs & Casino for 30 minutes while she gambled at slot machines
A woman who left a 13-year-old in a vehicle in the parking garage at Wind Creek Bethlehem Casino for 1 hour and 1 minute while she gambled at slot machines
A woman who left two children, ages 5 and 11 years old, in a vehicle in the parking lot at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course for 27 minutes while she gambled at slot machines

The board says denying gambling privileges serves as a reminder that adults are prohibited from leaving minors unattended, since it creates an unsafe environment for the children.
These bans raise the number of individuals now on the Board’s various Involuntary Exclusion Lists to 1,469.
