Pennsylvania regulator slaps four casino operators with $62,500 fine

Four Pennsylvania casinos have welcomed the new year on bad footing after receiving a total fine of $62,500 for various gambling violations.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), which is tasked to oversee all aspects of the state’s casino industry, announced on Wednesday that it would levy fines against casino operators Holdings Acquisition Corp. (HAC), Woodlands Fayette, LLC (WFL), Mount Airy #1, LLC (Mount Airy), and Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (GGEI).

HAC, which operates Rivers Casino in Allegheny County, received the biggest penalty of $40,000 for repeated table game procedure violations.

“The fine imposed on Holdings Acquisition Cop., L.P. was the result of four incidents in which errors compromised the integrity of table games,” the state regulator said in a statement.
