On April 29, 2026, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) approved two consent agreements resulting in combined fines of $15,000 against licensed gaming operators. Play'n GO New Jersey LLC, a licensed interactive gaming manufacturer, received a $10,000 fine for failure to obtain PGCB approval for a change of control. Valley Forge Convention Center Partners LLC, operator of Valley Forge Casino Resort, received a $5,000 fine for failure to protect assets related to an employee theft of money. The PGCB enforces these penalties to maintain regulatory compliance and operational integrity across Pennsylvania's gaming industry. The fines address breaches of licensing conditions and asset protection requirements that operators must meet to maintain their gaming privileges. Play'n GO's violation concerns corporate governance and change-of-control procedures, while Valley Forge's violation relates to internal controls and employee oversight—both critical areas for licensed operators. In related enforcement actions, the PGCB placed five individuals on its Involuntary Exclusion Lists, bringing the total number of excluded individuals to 1,521. One individual was placed on the Involuntary Casino Exclusion List for leaving an 11-month-old child unattended in a vehicle at Rivers Casino Philadelphia for one hour 52 minutes while gambling. This action reinforces the PGCB's "Don't Gamble with Kids" awareness campaign, which prohibits adults from leaving minors unattended in casino parking areas, garages, hotels, or other venues. The four additional individuals were excluded for various violations. Placement on an Involuntary Exclusion List prohibits individuals from gaming at Pennsylvania casinos, online betting sites regulated by the PGCB, or Video Gaming Terminal locations. The PGCB's next public meeting is scheduled for May 20, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in Harrisburg.
