Parx operator fined $10,000 for permitting teen on gaming floor

An 18-year-old gambled on the Bensalem slot machines

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board recently approved a $10,000 fine against Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, Inc., operator of Parx Casino, for permitting an 18-year-old to enter the gaming floor and gamble on slot machines.

The terms of the fine were included in a consent agreement between the agency’s Office of Enforcement Counsel and the license holder, then unanimously approved by the board.

The Gaming Act makes it unlawful for an individual under 21 years of age to enter and remain in any area of a licensed facility where slot machines are operated or the play of table games is conducted, and to wager, play or attempt to play a slot machine or table game at a licensed facility.
