Free Slot Play Violations and a Money Laundering Conspiracy Lead to Fines for Two PA Casinos

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board levied two casinos with fines related to free slot play on Wednesday.

Wind Creek Casino in Bethlehem and Rivers Casino Philadelphia will have to pay fines totaling $135,000. The fines came as a result of board approval at its public meeting of consent agreements between the PGCB’s Office of Enforcement Counsel and the two casino operators.

Limits on free slot play

Complimentary or free slot machine play is a common marketing tool used by casinos. However, there are restrictions.

Free slot play plans are required to be authorized by regulators who use a “Comp Matrix.”

The Comp Matrix outlines who can issue complimentary free slot play and the maximum dollars that each employee may issue.

Mount Airy casino employee charged with money laundering conspiracy

An investigation by the PGCB’s Bureau of Investigations and Enforcement (BIE) regarding the authorization and issuance of discretionary free slot play resulted in a $90,000 fine against Mount Airy Casino.

The investigation showed that Mount Airy Casino did not adhere to its internal controls and it led to 491 instances where employees issued discretionary free slot play exceeding the authorized limit and totaling $262,500. It included the alleged theft of $140,00 by a Mount Airy employee. The employee, Ashley Brosius, age 30, of Stroudsburg, was charged with money laundering conspiracy.

Brosius created duplicate player club cards which she then loaded with free slot play. She gave the unauthorized cards to a co-conspirator to gamble with, primarily at slot machines. Brosius received 2 years of probation plus house arrest for money laundering in 2017.

Rivers Casino Philadelphia fined for free play

The fine for SugarHouse HSP Gaming was $45,000. A similar investigation like the one at Mount Airy discovered the issuance of discretionary free slot play at Rivers Casino Philadelphia.

BIE discovered 405 instances in which employees handed out free slot play that was in excess of authorized amounts according to the Comp Matrix. It resulted in $25,562 free slot play at Rivers Casino Philadelphia. 

September PA casino slot revenue

In September, Wind Creek Casino finished second behind Parx for total slot revenue with $19.8 million. It is about 13% less than last Sept. However, all casinos currently operate at 50% capacity with some slot machines turned off to enforce social distancing.

Rivers Casino Philadelphia brought in $10.8 million in slot revenue in September, ranking ninth. It represents about a 20% year-over-year decrease.

Las Atlantis Casino Review

Las Atlantis offers a complete library of Realtime, a time-proven browser/software-based gaming platform. The reviewed Curacao-licensed online casino features 130+ pokies, a pack of table games, 50+ video poker games and a handful of live dealer tables from Visionary iGaming. The bonus program is excellent though nothing extraordinary. Australians, who are generally not spoilt for choice when it comes to banking, are offered here a decent number of payment solutions beyond debit and credit cards. Customer Support seems to be professional and responsive so no complaints there. As is evident from the name, the visual design, background pictures and other related elements in Las Atlantis Casino revolve around the lost continent that is believed to have been located between Africa and the Americas. In the About Us write-up, the online casino boasts of taking players to the underwater city built deep in the Bermuda triangle. Anyway, the graphical presentation of the online casino is perf...
