The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approved four consent agreements presented by the Board’s Office of Enforcement Counsel (OEC) during its public meeting resulting in a total of $73,075 in fines.

The approved consent agreements were the result of negotiations between OEC and these three license holders representing two casinos and a Video Gaming Terminal (VGT) establishment:

• Stadium Casino Westmoreland RE, LLC, operator of Live! Casino Pittsburgh in Westmoreland County, two fines totaling $30,000 and consisting of:
  • $20,000 for two instances in which individuals who were on the Board’s Casino Self-Exclusion List were permitted to gain entrance onto the gaming floor and gamble; and
  • $10,000 for permitting an individual under the minimum gambling of age of 21 to access the gaming floor and play slot machines;
• Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores Inc., a $25,000 fine for not providing the PGCB with ownership structure changes involving its five VGT Truck Stop Establishment locations;
• Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment Inc., operator of Parx Casino in Bucks County, a fine of $18,075 for failure to submit two license renewal applications in a timely manner.
