The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has enforced a fine of $125,000 against Wind Creek Bethlehem for 10 incidents in which under-age individuals gained access to the gaming floor at the casino it operates.
The incidents, which occurred over a 20-month period at Wind Creek Bethlehem in Northampton County, involved 11 individuals between the ages of 18 and 20.
The board also acted to ban, or leave intact an earlier ban, on three adults from all casinos in the Commonwealth for leaving minors unattended in order to engage in gaming activities.
The board’s actions serve as a reminder that adults are prohibited from leaving minors unattended in the parking lot or garage, a hotel, or other venues at a casino since it creates a potentially unsafe and dangerous environment for the children.
