(Harrisburg, Pa.).- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approved fines today totaling $115,500 against three casinos and one gaming equipment manufacturer for various violations.
The fines were the result of Board approvals at its public meeting of consent agreements between the PGCB's Office of Enforcement Counsel and:
- Chester Downs and Marina, LLC, operator of Harrah's Philadelphia Casino and Racetrack in Delaware County, two fines totaling $40,000 for table game and slot machine violations;
- Presque Isle Downs, Inc., operator of Presque Isle Downs and Casino in Erie County, a $45,000 fine for underage gaming incidents;
- Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, Inc., operator of Parx Casino in Bucks County, a $22,500 fine for slot machine violations; and,
- Genesis Gaming Solutions, Inc., a Table Game Manufacturer licensee, an $8,000 fine for failure to timely file audited financial statements.
DETAILS
The first consent agreement approved by the Board against Chester Downs and Marina, LLC resulted in $30,000 for allowing the operation of slot machines that were not compliant with regulations. These issues were uncovered by one of the Board's Technical Field Representatives.
The second fine levied against Chester Downs and Marina, LLC was for $10,000 and was the result of an audit by the Board's Bureau of Casino Compliance which found errors in Roulette Chip Discrepancy Logs, along with omissions in the filing of other related forms.
Presque Isle Downs, Inc.'s $45,000 fine stemmed from five incidents in which individuals under the age of 21 accessed the gaming floor:
- A 19-year-old female gained access onto the gaming floor and consumed an alcoholic beverage;
- An 18-year-old male gained access onto the gaming floor and wagered at table games;
- A 20-year-old male gained access onto the gaming floor and wagered at table games;
- A 19-year-old female gained access onto the gaming floor and wagered at slot machines, and,
- A 20-year-old male gained access onto the gaming floor and wagered at table games.
The $22,500 fine levied against Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, Inc. stemmed from three instances in which progressive slot machines were put into play without being tested and approved by the Board's Technical Field Representative.
Finally, Genesis Gaming Solutions, Inc., an approved Table Games Manufacturer based in Texas, was fined $8,000 after failing to meet submission deadlines of its annually-required audited financial statements to the Board for three consecutive years.
The next meeting of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, November 28, 2018 in the PGCB's Public Hearing Room located on the second floor of the Strawberry Square Complex in Harrisburg.
