The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has also added seven people to its exclusion lists. The people banned cannot enter a casino, engage with video gaming terminal halls, play online, or be involved in gambling in the state at all. Now, there are over 1,400 excluded players in the state.
Of those seven, five have been barred for various reasons. In one case, a woman left two children, ages 8 and 9, unattended in a hotel room at Hollywood Casino for over 7.5 hours.
