Clarification – McGregor closes Victoryland games for computer upgrades
By Bob Howell – WSFA 12 News, Montgomery, AL
Clarification on an earlier post:
Victoryland owner Milton McGregor asked for a clarification on the closing of the gaming center at the facility in Macon County. He says the computers being upgraded are not those that operate the electronic bingo machines. He says they are part of the “point of sale” system for transactions throughout the complex including the hotel, lounges and restaurants.
As for the bingo machine, McGregor insists that all his machines have already been made compliant with an Alabama Supreme Court ruling last year that set out the legal definition of bingo. He says the machines have been certified by Gaming Laboratories International.
The Governor’s Illegal Gambling Task Force is set to submit its response to Victoryland’s filing yesterday as to why a circuit court’s restraining order stopping a raid on Victoryland should be upheld.
