The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has meted three casinos with a total of $77,500 fine for various gambling violations.

In a statement, the state regulator named the erring casino operators as Holdings Acquisitions Company, L.P., operator of the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh; Downs Racing, L.P., operator of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Lackawanna County; and SugarHouse HSP Gaming L.P., operator of the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia.

According to PGCB, Holdings must pay a total fine of $42,000 for allowing three individuals who are on the PGCB’s Self-Excluded Persons List to gamble.

“Gaming facilities in the Commonwealth must refuse wagers from, and deny gaming privileges such as player’s cards and cash advances to individuals who are on the Self-Exclusion List,” PGCB pointed out ‘Individuals who place themselves on the Self-Exclusion List can choose 1-year, 5-year, or lifetime options but must in all cases make a request to the Board to be removed from the list even if that agreed upon time period has expired.”
