Pa. casinos fined

HARRISBURG, PA.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board on Wednesday approved three consent agreements involving two casinos with fines totaling $210,218.

The operators of the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pa., Dauphin County, were fined $10,218 in a third approved consent agreement for permitting an ATM on the casino floor for approximately 10 months that allowed for cash advances on credit cards.

Under the Gaming Act, no credit-card advance machine may be placed on the gaming floor, though such machines are permitted to operate within the horse-racetrack area. The fine represented the amount of fees netted by the casino while that ATM was on the casino floor.

The two other consent agreements involved Valley Forge Casino, one for its mishandling of promotions and the other for permitting underage people to gamble.
