Even if you win, Someone still loses.

Leaving a child in your care unattended while gambling in a casino is a serious issue that occurs far too often in Pennsylvania. In fact, this is happening to hundreds of kids a year at casinos throughout the state. You read that right. Hundreds!

This decision by a parent or guardian to leave a child in their vehicle or in a hotel room not only endangers the child but can create significant and long-lasting negative results for the adults. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, therefore, is raising awareness with a campaign titled “Don’t Gamble with Kids”. This program is designed to shed light on the issue, not just for those adults who may consider leaving a child unattended in order to enter a casino, but to the gaming public who can look for and report these incidents before a tragedy occurs. Leaving kids unattended for even one bet is never worth the gamble and together we can work to stop this problem.
