Pennsylvania regulator fines Live! Casino Pittsburgh, Parx’s restaurant and gaming manufacturer totaling ,5K

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) approved Wednesday three consent agreements between the PGCB’s Office of Enforcement Counsel and Live! Casino Pittsburgh, a restaurant at Parx Casino in Bensalem, and a manufacturer resulting in a total of $32,500 in fines for different breaches.

The consent agreements approved Wednesday involve:

  • CPC Bucks County, LLC, d/b/a/ Chickie’s and Pete’s, a fine of $17,500 for overservice of alcohol to patrons;
  • Stadium Casino Westmoreland, LLC, operator of Live! Casino Pittsburgh, a fine of $7,500 for a self-exclusion violation;
  • TDN Money Systems, Inc., a fine of $7,500 for failure to notify the Board of a change of control of the company.

CPC Bucks County, LLC operates a Chickie’s and Pete’s restaurant at Parx Casino in Bensalem. The $17,500 fine stemmed from three incidents involving six patrons who were overserved alcohol at the restaurant leading to visible intoxication of each of the individuals.

Stadium Casino Westmoreland, a subsidiary of The Cordish Companies, was assessed a $7,500 fine for an incident that involved a Self-Excluded individual who was able to gamble at table games and receive a cash advance at the Live! Pittsburgh Casino facility it operates. Pursuant to PGCB regulations, a casino must identify self-excluded patrons and refuse gaming privileges and other gaming-related activities such as the cashing of checks or cash advances.

The $7,500 fine against TDN Money Systems, Inc., designated by the Board as a Manufacturer Designee, stemmed from an incident in which the manufacturer because failed to timely provide the Board with a change of control notification when the wholly-owned company was divested to two other licensed individuals.

The next meeting of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, July 20, 2022, in the PGCB’s Public Hearing Room located on the second floor of the Strawberry Square Complex in Harrisburg.
