Massachusetts fines Plainridge Park
The state’s gaming commission has fined the casino over security staffing issues.
US.- The Massachusetts Gaming Commission reported that the entity fined Plainridge Park Casino for failing to ensure the minimum security staffing requirements they impose. The local commission punished the only slot parlor in the state with a US$65.000 fine.
Ed Bedrosian, executive director of the Gaming Commission, said in a statement that security staffing levels are of critical importance because of the security department’s role in ensuring public safety and maintaining the physical security of the casino complex, its employees, guests, property, the prevention of underage gambling, and the monitoring of alcohol consumption.
The fine is the result of a security review conducted from the last week of December to the first of January 2017, and January 14 as well. The regulatory body established that almost a quarter of times the casino failed the security levels. “The Massachusetts Gaming Commission will continue to hold licensees to a high standard of compliance to protect the integrity of the gaming establishments,” he added.
