A woman who left a child in a car while playing slots at Wind Creek Bethlehem has been banned from that casino and all others in the state by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.
The board said Wednesday that it placed the woman, whom it didn’t identify, on the involuntary exclusion list because she was in the casino for just over an hour while a 13-year-old was alone in her vehicle in the Wind Creek parking garage. The board didn’t say when this happened.
Placement on an involuntary exclusion list prohibits individuals from gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the board or on a video gaming terminal location. The gaming control board said there are 1,469 people on the various lists.
In other actions, a man was placed on the list for leaving two 3-year-olds in a vehicle in the parking lot Parx Casino in Bucks County for 16 minutes.
One woman was placed on the list for leaving two 11-year-olds in a vehicle at Presque Isle Downs & Casino in Erie County for 30 minutes, and another was placed on the list for leaving two children, ages 5 and 11, in a vehicle for 27 minutes at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course for 27 minutes.
The gaming control board also assessed a $31,950 fine against Evolution LLC, an interactive gaming manufacturer licensee, for its failure to file a principal license application for a board member that assumed additional responsibility.
