HARRISBURG - The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board today levied fines against two casinos for regulatory violations.  The fines were the result of consent agreements between the PGCB’s Office of Enforcement Counsel and the two casinos:

Mount Airy #1 LLC, operator of the Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County, was fined $20,000 for doing business with a suspended Gaming Service Provider.  The agreed fine was the result of payments made to North American Warhorse, Inc. for goods and services during a time when the license of the principal owner was suspended by the PGCB.

According to the consent agreement, the majority owner of the Mt. Airy Casino, Louis DeNaples, is also the majority owner of Warhorse, and when Mr. DeNaples was suspended in February 2008, Mt. Airy was also prohibited from conducting further business with that Gaming Service Provider during Mr. DeNaples’ suspension.
