Casino fined for serving man 27 drinks

A casino in Pennsylvania was fined $25,000 and three bartenders fired after serving a man 27 drinks, even after the man was visibly drunk, witnesses said.

A man came into the Mount Airy Casino back in October and became so drunk while gambling he couldn't stand, according to a report from WNEP.

Still, over the course of nine hours, he was served 27 drinks, including 18 served after he fell to the ground.

The state's gaming control board reviewed the incident and issued the fine.

The casino declined to comment.
