PGCB fines SugarHouse Casino
The Pennsylvania gaming regulator has fined the casino for table games violations.
US.- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) approved this week fines totaling US$95k against the operator of SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia for table games violations. The casino has also recently petitioned to offer sports betting services in the state.
The board said that the fines were the result of approvals at its public meeting of consent agreements between the PGCB’s Office of Enforcement Counsel and Sugarhouse HSP Gaming, L.P.
The first consent agreement approved by the Board resulted in a fine of US$85k against Sugarhouse HSP Gaming, L.P. for seven incidents in which SugarHouse Casino personnel failed to properly address automated shuffler warnings at table games. These failures resulted in games being played with compromised decks.
The second approved consent agreement carried a fine of US$10k against Sugarhouse HSP Gaming, L.P. for the casino not being compliant with its Board-approved rules and guidelines for Spanish 21 blackjack that resulted in game play with compromised decks.
