LIVERMORE, Calif. (KGO) -- An Oakland woman accused of leaving her two kids in a hot car while she gambled inside a casino is scheduled to enter a plea Monday morning.

It happened last week on North Canyons Parkway in Pleasanton.

Phaley Nget, 37, was inside Casino 580 when police found her two daughters -- ages 2 and 3 -- inside a locked car strapped in their car seats.

Luckily, the children weren't injured.

The woman's attorney says she went into the casino to use the restroom.

Her bail was set at a $100,000.
