CPC Bucks County, Stadium Casino Westmoreland and TDN Money Systems have each received a penalty from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB).
Stadium Casino Westmoreland, the operator of Live! Casino Pittsburgh, has been handed a $7,500 fine over a self-exclusion violation.
A “self-excluded individual” was allowed to gamble at table games and received a cash advance at the company’s Pittsburgh facility, said the PGCB.
Under Pennsylvania regulations, a casino must identify and refuse gaming privileges or related activities, including advances and cashing checks, to such individuals.
TDN, meanwhile, must also pay $7,500 for failing to notify the PGCB of a change of control. The company was divested to two other licensed individuals, but TDN did not provide a notification in a timely manner.
Finally, CPC Bucks County is facing the heftiest fine. The company operates a Chickie’s and Pete’s restaurant at Parx Casino in Bensalem, and has been ordered to pay $17,500 over three incidents involving six patrons who were overserved alcohol. This led to the “visible intoxication” of each individual.
In its complaint, the company alleges that the PGCB engaged in the “coordinated harassment” of skill-based gaming operators at the behest of “big casino interests.”
