The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said a woman was placed on the Involuntary Exclusion List after leaving two minors, ages 4 and 12, unattended in a vehicle with an outside temperature of 8 degrees in the parking lot of Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County for 45 minutes while she gambled at slot machines.

The board’s actions serve as a reminder that adults are prohibited from leaving minors unattended in the parking lot or garage, a hotel, or other venues at a casino since it creates a potentially unsafe and dangerous environment for the children.
