The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has slapped four casino operators with a total of $82,500 fines for various violations.
USNewswire identified the four casino operators levied with fine as Holdings Acquisitions Co. LP, operator of the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh; SugarHouse HSP Gaming, LP, operator of the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia; Sands Bethworks Gaming, LLC, operator of the Sands Casino Resort in Northampton County; and Mount Airy #1, LLC, operator of the Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County.
The fines were the result of Board approvals at its public meeting of consent agreements between the PGCB’s Office of Enforcement Counsel.
In the case of Holdings Acquisitions, the casino operator violated PGCB’s rules after it held two poker tournaments at the Rivers Casino that utilized a rule variation which lacked the necessary approval from the state regulator.
