ATTORNEY GENERAL STRANGE STATEMENT ON VICTORYLAND REOPENING
(MONTGOMERY) – Attorney General Luther Strange issued the following statement after the
reopening of VictoryLand on September 13, 2016:
“On March 31, 2016, the Alabama Supreme Court reinforced its previous rulings that electronic
bingo is illegal. The Governor has expressly told the Sheriff and District Attorney in Macon
County that they need to do their job and enforce state gambling laws. If those local officials are
disregarding the Governor’s order and facilitating illegal activity, then I expect the Governor to
take action. I stand ready to work with the Governor and the Alabama Law Enforcement
Agency to stop illegal gambling and other crimes.”
