The Pennsylvania Gaming Board announced a fine of $25,000 levied against Evolution US, LLC. They operate a live table game dealer studio in Philadelphia. The fine stems from a nearly 2-day period in which it failed to save surveillance video. This occurred due to a power outage at its studio. While live cameras remained operational at its 14 tables, a resulting computer server failure resulted in surveillance footage not being collected and saved per the PA Gaming Act.
