A Macon County judge permanently banned VictoryLand Casino from hosting electronic bingo machines “subject to and conditioned upon” state law, nine months after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled against the machines.
VictoryLand, in Macon County, cannot have the machines on its premises, receive money from the machines, or transfer electronic bingo machines to any other facility in the county, Macon County Circuit Court Judge Steven Perryman ruled in an order issued Monday.
The permanent injunction stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall against VictoryLand, accusing the casino of illegal gambling.
“Electronic bingo machines are a blatant violation of state law, and the Alabama Supreme Court has reaffirmed this time and time again,” Marshall said in a statement issued Tuesday. “Similar to the facilities in Morgan, Houston and Lowndes Counties, the Macon County facilities are permanently prohibited from using electronic bingo machines moving forward.”
