BENSALEM, Pa.

Pennsylvania gaming regulators say a Bucks County casino must do a better job addressing the problem of players leaving their children in cars while they gamble.

The state Gaming Control Board’s warning comes after five such incidents this summer.

Parx Casino officials said they’re taking steps including extra parking lot patrols during busy times and that said players involved in these events are permanently banned from the casino.
