The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board banned 18 people from gambling at casinos, online and at video gaming terminals in the state — including four adults who left children unattended while they gambled.
Those four were:
- A woman who left two children, ages 8 and 13, in a vehicle at Valley Forge Casino Resort’s parking lot for 52 minutes while she gambled.
- A woman who left three children, ages 8, 9 and 13, in a hotel room at Mount Airy Casino Resort for 1 hour and 48 minutes while she played table games.
- A woman who left a 10-year-old child in a vehicle at Live! Casino Philadelphia’s parking lot for 3 hours and 8 minutes while gambling at slot machines.
- A man who left a 12-year-old in a vehicle at Hollywood Casino York’s parking lot for 30 minutes while he gambled at slot machines.
Adults are prohibited from leaving minors unattended in parking lots, garages, hotels and other venues at casinos because that creates an unsafe and dangerous environment for children…
