PGCB Hands Fines, Expects Strong Gaming Revenue for March
The gambling regulator in Pennsylvania approved multiple fines surpassing $230,000 earlier this week. March is expected to be a strong month for casinos in the state.
Gambling Watchdog Imposes $238K in Fines. The PGCB approved consent agreements with four casino operators and two licensed manufacturers. One adult was placed on the Involuntary Exclusion List after he or she left their young child in a car. The smallest fine was imposed against Holdings Acquisition Co., operator of Rivers Casino Pittsburgh.
The PGCB expects strong revenue for the casino industry in March. The total gaming revenue is expected to surpass $463 million. $94 million is predicted to come from table games, $118 million from online casinos. The gambling watchdog has scheduled license renewal hearings for Rivers Casino Philadelphia and Valley Forge Casino Resort for April 26 and 27 respectively.
