The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has taken action against three video lottery terminal (VLT) operators, including fines totaling $89,500 and the revocation of establishment and individual principal licenses for Mann & Sidhu.
Mann & Sidhu was charged with multiple violations, including the failure to have a Board-licensed employee present at the time of play, allowing a minor to enter and place wagers within the VGT gaming area and failure to maintain its status as a qualified truck stop establishment.
In order to maintain status as a qualified truck stop establishment, the property must sell an average of 50,000 gallons of diesel or biodiesel over a 12-month period, which Mann & Sidhu failed to accomplish at its Bald Eagle Truck Stop in McElhattan, Pennsylvania.
Along with the license revocation and ceasing of Mann & Sidhu operations, the PGCB fined VGT locations owned by Raceway Management after both failed to have Board-certified employees physically present when machines were operational and available to consumers.
Raceway Management's VGT location in Gibson, Pennsylvania was fined $63,500, while an establishment located in Lake Ariel was given a penalty of $26,000. According to PGCB regulations, one employee who is certified by the Board must be located on the premises and supervising the VGT area at all times.
The PGCB also placed 10 individuals on various Involuntary Exclusion Lists, which prohibit those named from gaming in a retail casino, through an online betting site regulated by the Board or at a VGT establishment.
"Actions such as these to deny statewide gambling privileges 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," the PGCB stated within the release.
The total number of individuals found on PGCB's Involuntary Exclusion Lists is now at 1,458, with the Board also introducing a Don't Gamble with Kids campaign to counteract issues such as those penalized on November 19.
The PGCB reported the state's total gaming activity throughout October 2025 on November 19, as overall revenue for the period was highlighted by a new monthly record in iGaming revenue, which rose 32.8% to $251.1m
