Alabama Senate committee has moved forward on legalizing online gambling. The bill is going to bring to Alabama several online forms for both markets, lottery and casino games. Like many other US states, Alabama has been struggling with budget cuts, and therefore looking for solutions to increase state’s tax revenues. The bill to decriminalize online gambling, casino games and lottery, has been the only answer to the state prays. The Senate committee has decided to pass the online gambling bill this week although there is still a need to work on the legislation details. The different parties are not quite sure about this step even though legalizing online gambling seems to be the only way to boost the state economy. The bill still needs to become law, as now it is just a constitutional amendment that needs to be approved by voters next September. If Alabama Senate and voters legalize online gambling, online forms for both lottery and casino games will be allowed in several sites within the state: Victory Land in Macon County; Greene track in Greene County, the Birmingham Race Course, and Mobile Greyhound Park. The Poarch Band of Creek Indians, as usual, has come out with negative remarks and does not want the bill; Native American Reserves casinos are still under the impression that online gambling would interfere their business, one of the main reasons why Wind Creek Casino in Atmore does not want the bill.

Located in Knoxvillle Greene County Alabama.

Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, has said: 'I'm not a gamer. As a Republican I've never been big behind gaming, but I think gaming is here to stay. We're making sure that we as a state receive fair revenue from (the sector). It's not something I have pressured people on. I had the votes to get it out of committee and I think that was the next step to get it on the floor. I do not want to open that floodgate. What I do want to do is create a gaming commission to make these decisions going forward.'

House Speaker Mike Hubbard, R-Auburn, commented: 'I don't think there's much chance of passing the Senate. I haven't really polled our members, but my prediction down here is it has a very low chance of passing'. Sen. Trip Pittman, R-Montrose, said: 'Gambling is for losers. I think a lot of people may think this is a solution to this year's budget problems, and it is not. People can manipulate a crisis to pass something that has long-term consequences.'

History[edit]

Legality of electronic bingo[edit]

Alabama has had many 'electronic bingo' parlors which feature slot machines that are or are similar to Class II gaming machines. The legality of these vary from county to county, and are in a near-constant state of flux. In particular, most such parlors were closed through the efforts of an anti-gambling task force put in place by Gov. Bob Riley early in 2010. But in March 2010, the Alabama Supreme Court determined that Riley did not have the authority to convene such a task force, but that power rested with Attorney GeneralTroy King. Shortly after the task force was sidelined, e-bingo parlors reopened in cities which had previously enacted ordinances permitting and regulating such halls. Additionally, Victoryland also reopened after a brief closure. (Greenetrack and the three Poarch Band of Indians gaming facilities did not close.)

At one time, several counties in Alabama featured numerous e-bingo halls, most notably Walker County, with halls large and small mostly concentrated along the former U.S. Highway 78 between Jasper and the Jefferson County line, ranging in size from converted small storefronts to large halls with hundreds of machines. But a ruling in a lawsuit by the Walker County sheriff determined that the machines in the county's halls were illegal, and the halls were forced to close. District attorneys in Jefferson County used that ruling to justify their order of closure for halls in that county. However, several large halls in Fairfield remained open because the city had passed specific ordinances permitting them. Those halls closed during the governor's task force raids in January 2010, but reopened on March 12, 2010 when the task force was invalidated. They again closed briefly in April 2010, as a part of the ongoing controversy over their legality and a dispute over jurisdiction between Riley and King.

In late May 2010, in yet another legal action in the anti-gambling feud between Riley and King, the Alabama Supreme Court determined that Riley had the ultimate authority to appoint an anti-gambling task force. Riley then announced plans to reactivate the task force, and the district attorney in the Bessemer Cutoff area of Jefferson County (including Fairfield) advised halls there to shut down immediately, or risk having their machines seized. King announced he would no longer interfere with the governor's efforts. Halls began closures on May 24, 2010. Victoryland and Greenetrack remained open for the time being. Poarch Creek operations were not affected, as the state has no jurisdiction over them.

Fairfield legalized large electronic bingo halls in mid-2009, with certain requirements for minimum number of gaming machines. Bamaco Bingo opened in September 2009 with more than 800 machines installed and announced plans for up to 5,000 machines. Two other large e-bingo halls, Bingo Fantastico and World Bingo, later opened adjacent to Bamaco, followed by Legacy Bingo in March 2010. All except Bingo Fantastico occupied empty 'big box' retail stores; Bingo Fantastico replaced a roller skating rink. Three other small bingo halls, including one that shared space with an automotive repair shop, were also located in Fairfield. The city received a permit fee of $100 per machine per month, and bingo was a major tax source for the city.

Bessemer, Alabama had some e-bingo halls in place, but their legality was in question due to a dispute between the city council, which voted to allow the halls, and the mayor, who opposed gambling. Those halls remained closed after the task force invalidation. Other smaller halls were located in cities and unincorporated areas near Bessemer; they also closed later.

Two other large e-bingo halls, Country Crossing in Dothan and White Hall Gaming Center between Selma and Montgomery, were shut down by the task force.

Throughout the controversy, the Poarch Creek band's operations not only continued, they expanded. Facilities in Wetumpka, Atmore and suburban Montgomery added to their gaming floors, and the Wetumpka and Atmore facilities added new high-rise hotels.

In July 2010, after all legal avenues were exhausted, state police and the task force shut down machines at Greenetrack in Eutaw, Alabama, then later at Victoryland. And on October 4, 2010, federal prosecutors filed charges against and arrested Victoryland owner Milton McGregor and several members of the Alabama State Senate in a corruption investigation regarding the entire affair.[1]

In 2016, after winning a ruling in a federal court against the state, Victoryland reopened its electronic bingo floor on September 14, 2016.[2]
