New Jersey woman who banned herself from gambling for life is charged with trespassing after hitting a slot machine jackpot

A 69-year-old woman from Asbury, New Jersey, is reportedly facing a trespassing citation after winning a slot machine jackpot at a Pennsylvania casino she had banned herself from for life. According to Brobible, she hit the winning combination at the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville before staff identified her as a banned gambler.

The woman had placed herself on Pennsylvania’s self-exclusion list in 2019, choosing a lifetime ban, per ABC27. The program apparently lets people who recognize a gambling problem voluntarily bar themselves from casinos, video gaming terminals, and online betting for one year, five years, or life. And anyone who enrolls reportedly forfeits any winnings and risks a trespassing citation if they enter a casino anyway.
