"I do not understand why there has been no court system in the state of Alabama to redeem or rule the electronic bingo machines recovered or reviewed as illegal?
I was reading an older article from Retail Digital dated June 10, 2009, from the CEO-Jay Dorris on Poarch Creek Gaming, located here in Alabama: http://www.retail-digital.com/PCI-Gaming-Expanding-operations 26548.
In a statement by Dorris: In accordance with Alabama state law, PCI Gaming is limited to electronic bingo gaming. The state does not allow the use of table games or true slot machines. The electronic bingo machines are unique from slots. "They are a server-based product and everyone is playing on a terminal against someone else. You’re not playing against the house.”
With this being read, if the games that Governor Riley and Tyson are alleging to be illegal (they are the only two saying they're illegal) from these other venues, then the electronic bingo machines being used at the PCI Gaming facilities would also be considered illegal and should be removed. It would not matter if they are Sovereign land."
