Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board excludes four parents over children left unattended

Enforcement & compliance

Pennsylvania’s Gaming Control Board added 17 people to its involuntary exclusion lists, including four men who left children unattended while gambling. The cases included children left in vehicles for periods ranging from 10 minutes to two hours and six minutes; the board said the exclusions support its “Don’t Gamble with Kids” awareness campaign.

The exclusions bar the four men from gambling in Pennsylvania and reinforce the board’s warning against leaving minors unattended at casino venues.
