PGCB levies fine for unapproved poker tournaments
The Pennsylvania gambling regulator has levied a fine for unapproved poker tournaments at Hollywood Casino.
US.- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has revealed that it fined Mountainview Thoroughbred Racing Association, LLC, operator of Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Dauphin County. The US$20k fine was received by the Pennsylvania regulator for conducting poker tournaments that were unapproved by the agency.
The PGCB said that the fine is the result of a board approval at its public meeting of a consent agreement between the PGCB’s Office of Enforcement Counsel and Mountainview Thoroughbred Racing Association.
Current regulations establish that table games staffing plans, tournament schedules, dealer training programs and schematics of gaming guides, table layouts, signage and equipment be submitted to the PGCB for approval by the Executive Director. “That was not done for four poker tournaments held in 2019 at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course,” said the PGCB.
