(Des Moines, IA) — Four casinos are paying a combined 130-thousand dollars in fines to the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission for gambling violations involving minors.

The Horseshoe Casino in Council Bluffs was fined 60-thousand dollars for two underage violations. The first involved a minor female in January who entered the gambling floor with an adult and the second a 17-year-old female who had entered the gaming floor. Prairie Meadows in Altoona and the Diamond Jo Worth casino were each fined 20-thousand dollars. The standard fine for an underage violation is 20-thousand dollars.
