Woman Leaves Children Alone To Gamble At Local Casino

HARRISBURG, PA: The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has placed twenty-two individuals on its various Involuntary Exclusion Lists. Placement on those lists prohibits individuals from either gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the board, or at a Video Gaming Terminal (“VGT”) location.  The actions by the Board include placement of five adults on the list for leaving minors unattended at a casino property while they gambled.  Included in that list is a female patron who left two children, ages eight and nine, in a hotel room at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows for seven hours and forty-one minutes while she gambled at table games.  Four other women from various parts of the state were also added to the list for similar infractions.
