Three Alabama Casinos are closed due to a Supreme Court decision.
Alabama Supreme Court ruled on September 10 to prohibit Victoryland, Southern Star, and White Hall Casinos from continuing their gaming activities. The state has gradually prevailed in all lawsuits against unlawful gaming practices in Alabama. Five counties have had their casinos ordered to suspend operations. The local circuit courts in the respective counties must issue injunctions prohibiting the provision of all electronic bingo games within 30 days.
Alabama has been fighting illegal bingo games for more than a decade. In 2016, the Supreme Court ruled that the bingos offered by casinos in Alabama's counties do not conform to the definition of binging games in the state law. Greentrack, a non-profit bingerist, lost a case against the attorney general’s office and must pay $76 million in uncollected taxes from illegal operations.
