Record penalties by Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board
Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board handed down two fines totaling USD 1 M to Mohegan Sun Pocono for what they call “failing to follow internal controls” and doing business with unlicensed vendors.
The fines, of USD 450,000 and USD 550,000 each, were approved on Wednesday by Board, and they represent their highest one-time fines since the agency was created in Pennsylvania's original 2004 casino gambling law.
The bigger fine stemmed from an investigation into a scheme aided by a casino executive, a cocktail server and her boyfriend that authorities say stole more than USD 420,000 from Mohegan Sun Pocono in 2014 and 2015. All three are serving a prison sentence or are on probation.
The smaller fine stemmed from doing business with unlicensed firms that operate restaurants in the casino and sell vouchers for dining and slots play.
In a statement, casino officials say they've agreed to pay the fines.
