Pennsylvania Casino Fined For Serving Gambler 27 DrinksGaming Control Board Approves $25K Fine On Wednesday |
|
One of Pennsylvania’s 12 Las Vegas-style casinos has been fined $25,000 by state regulators for serving a gambler 27 drinks during a single gambling session.
Keystone State gaming regulators said in a Wednesday news release that Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County kept providing alcohol to a “visibly intoxicated” gambler. It didn’t say when the incident happened.
The state said the 27 drinks were over a nine-hour period, and 18 of them were provided even after it was clear the gambler was wasted. The casino isn’t contesting the fine.
Pennsylvania’s casino industry set a record for gaming win in 2016. The casinos won a combined $3.2 billion. There are about 26,000 slot machines and 1,200 table games statewide.
Last year, the governor signed a bill to let casinos serve alcohol 24/7.
