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.<\/p>\n
The board said Wednesday that it placed the woman, whom it didn\u2019t 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\u2019t say when this happened.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u00a0was 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
