15 people banned from gambling in Pennsylvania

(WHTM) — The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board placed 15 more people on its Involuntary Exclusion Lists on Wednesday.

The PGCB says those added to the list cannot gamble at Pennsylvania casinos, through an online betting site regulated by the board, or at video gaming terminal locations. The board said three people were added after they left minors unattended in vehicles while gambling, including:

  • A male patron who left his 3-year-old child in a vehicle in the parking lot of Rivers Philadelphia Casino for 4 minutes to gamble at a sports wagering kiosk; and,
  • A male and a female patron who together left a 5-year-old child in a non-running vehicle for 50 minutes in the parking lot of Parx Casino when the outside temperature was 19-degrees while they gambled at table games.

“Actions such as these to deny statewide gambling privileges 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,” the board said in a statement.

Six other people made their way to the list for fraudulent actions involving online gambling, the board said. It brings the total number of people with revoked gambling privileges in the Commonwealth to 1,405.
