Boyd Gaming filed a report to the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month to report a cybersecurity incident in which Valley Forge Casino was not affected.
In addition to Valley Forge Casino in Pennsylvania, Boyd Gaming has properties all over the country. The company declined to comment to PlayPennsylvania.
However, the filing to the SEC further explains the incident.
Details of security breach
Boyd Gaming reported that an “unauthorized third party” gained access to its internal IT system. According to the report:
“The cybersecurity incident has had no impact on the company’s properties or business operations.”
Boyd determined the hackers removed certain data from the IT system, which included employee information and data on a limited number of other individuals. The other individuals in the report were not specified.
Boyd said it has alerted those affected. It also provided a positive update on the future of the business in the report:
“As of the date of this filing, the company believes that the incident will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial condition or results of operations.
“The company maintains a comprehensive cybersecurity insurance policy, which we expect will cover costs associated with incident response and forensic investigations, as well as business interruptions, legal actions and regulatory fines, if any, subject to policy limits and deductibles.”
Boyd Gaming did not mention any financial ramifications in relation to the incident.
Valley Forge fined $30,000
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board issued a $30,000 fine to Valley Forge Casino on Wednesday. The board said the casino allowed a 13-year-old onto the gaming floor for six hours in November 2024. He reportedly played slots for more than three hours.
The minor used his father’s license to gain access to the gaming floor. The father and minor then tried to gain access the next day but were denied by security.
Valley Forge Casino accepted the consent agreement issued by the PGCB.
The casino has offered more coaching and training for employees to make sure such an incident doesn’t occur again. It also is providing cash incentives for security to catch underage gamblers attempting to gain access to the gaming floor.
