MOUNT POCONO, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania gambling regulators have fined Mount Airy Casino Resort for allowing two teenagers to gamble.

The Gaming Control Board said Thursday that Mount Airy was fined $70,000. The board says a 16-year-old girl was caught playing slot machines last February

and a 15-year-old girl was found gambling in August.

State law says you must be 21 or older to gamble at a Pennsylvania casino.

It's the second fine leveled against Mount Airy for underage gambling violations. The Poconos casino was fined $100,000 last March for six violations.

As part of an agreement with regulators last year, Mount Airy purchased eight electronic scanning devices to check customer driver's licenses and other ID cards.
