Alabama Gambling News Brief

Alabama's electronic bingo halls seek way to reopen

The Birmingham News,  Sunday, February 07, 2010 at 9:28:29 AM
The palm-tree-lined road to The Oasis is dark and quiet this weekend.

VictoryLand and its adjacent 300-room hotel, The Oasis, along with many of the bingo operations across the state, have closed as the legal battle over bingo continues to brew and lawyers look for ways to get the casinos back open without risk of a raid by Gov. Bob Riley's Task Force on Illegal Gambling.

On a typical weekend night, the Interstate 85 exit leading to VictoryLand is bustling with casino traffic. This weekend, VictoryLand buses normally used to ferry gamblers across the expansive parking lot were used to block the entrance to the bingo casino and hotel.

"I don't know when it will open," VictoryLand owner Milton McGregor said Saturday. "But I do know this. We will reopen. And when we reopen we're going to open bigger and better than we were."

Early morning raids on VictoryLand and Country Crossing electronic bingo operations were stalled today, at least temporarily.

But the head of the governor's task on illegal gambling said he awaits a hearing before the Alabama Supreme Court to appeal a restraining order issued in Macon County.

Mobile District Attorney John Tyson, the governor's newly appointed director of the task force, said he hopes the high court hearing would come later today.

Mohegan Sun casino seeking 300 dealers

Times-Leader,  Friday, January 29, 2010 at 1:39:46 AM
The casino Thursday said it will hire 500, and more than half of them will be in the table games department. More than a 1,000 people now work at the casino/racetrack.

"We're looking at probably 300 dealers," said chief executive Bobby Soper.

The games that include blackjack, poker, craps, roulette and baccarat are expected to be in place by the summer to complement the casino's slot machines, he said. The state legalized the games earlier this month as a way to generate much needed revenue and create jobs.
