Marshall said the ruling is part of his long-term strategy to defeat illegal gambling permanently, whereas previous efforts have seen casinos recalibrate machines and reopen after raids. The court ruled that they are “permanently enjoined from offering ‘electronic bingo’ at any facility in Macon County, from receiving any moneys in relation to ‘electronic bingo’ machines operated in Macon County, from transporting or providing any additional ‘electronic bingo machines to any facility in Macon County, and from receiving, utilizing or providing bingo licenses or permits to play ‘electronic bingo’ in Macon County.” Economic Development, LLC and Macon County Sheriff Andre Brunson – each of whom are co-defendants in the case. The ruling also applied to machine maker Epic Tech, Inc., transporter K.C. In a case before the 5th Judicial Circuit, the court granted Marshall’s request to permanently enjoin Victoryland, once one of the state’s largest casinos, from operating electronic bingo machines in Macon County.
– Attorney General Steve Marshall Tuesday declared another victory in his effort to rid the state of electronic bingo machines he says are clearly illegal slot machines under Alabama law.
