Victoryland asks Alabama Supreme Court to reconsider electronic bingo decision.
In September, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled electronic bingo establishments in Macon and Lowndes County have “no right” to engage in and “cannot be harmed by enjoined from continuing in an illegal enterprise.”According to the appellee’s application for rehearing filed Friday, Victoryland is asking the court for a rehearing of the case, which it believes is “needed and necessary to prevent a serious and mistaken rush to judgment.
Victoryland, according to court documents, says a permanent injunction will have a “serious and detrimental and/or fatal effect” on the charities and others supported by it. Macon County is one of the poorest counties in Alabama, the application added. Victoryland says without its contributions, no other entity “can or will” provide the public support and charity care they provide.
The Alabama attorney general’s office has long since declared electronic bingo in Alabama as illegal gambling, going as far as using hundreds of thousands of dollars to prosecute it. a task force on illegal gambling, transferring the responsibilities to the AG’s office. Executive Order No. 13 deemed local jurisdictions and law enforcement as being those charged with interpreting and applying Alabama law over gaming or gambling in their respective county.
