Overview
- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approved a consent agreement penalizing Valley Forge Casino, with reports differing on the fine amount, citing either $30,000 or $300,000.
- According to board documents, the 13-year-old entered with his father's identification and spent more than six hours on slot machines.
- Records state the boy was given $600 by his father yet used a total of $1,640 to gamble, and a cocktail server provided him a soda and a beer that he handed to his father.
- Valley Forge conducted an internal review, issuing final written warnings to involved security staff, mandating security training, and giving the server a written warning.
- State Police cited the father, who later pleaded guilty to a summary count, while the PGCB placed 12 people on involuntary exclusion lists for various violations, bringing the total to 1,422 and promoting its 'Don't Gamble with Kids' campaign.
