The fine was the result of a Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approval at its public meeting of a consent agreement between the PGCB's Office of Enforcement Counsel and Downs Racing LP.
It was the result of an incident last year in which an individual on the PGCB's Self-Exclusion List obtained a cash advance at Mohegan Sun Pocono and then participated in table game activities. Licensed facilities must refuse wagers from and deny gaming privileges to any Self-Excluded person, along with denying check cashing privileges, players club memberships and cash advances.
The next meeting of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, March 7, 2018 in the PGCB's Public Hearing Room located on the second floor of Strawberry Square in Harrisburg.
