Court bars electronic bingo in Macon County

SHORTER, Ala. - This week, the Circuit Court of Macon County has permanently barred any facility in the county from offering electronic bingo.

The decision stemmed from a lawsuit that Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall brought against VictoryLand Casino, accusing it of operating “illegal” gambling machines. In response to the ruling, Marshall stated, “Electronic bingo machines are a blatant violation of state law, and the Alabama Supreme Court has reaffirmed this time and time again. Similar to the facilities in Morgan, Houston and Lowndes Counties, the Macon County facilities are permanently prohibited from using electronic bingo machines moving forward.

VictoryLand attorney Joe Espy said, “The ruling has absolutely no effect whatsoever on Victoryland. Victoryland is operating fully with super employees and supporting the East Alabama community.”
