Multiple civil lawsuits have been filed against Alabama casinos accused of operating illegal slot machines under the guise of bingo.

Filed by the Alabama Attorney General’s Office, the lawsuits are asking local circuit courts to stop casinos, machine manufacturers, vendors and licensing government authorities in five counties—Greene, Houston, Lowndes, Macon and Morgan—from promoting, operating and transporting electronic bingo machines and slot machines.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is also asking the courts to issue preliminary injunctions to stop what he says are unlawful gambling operations while the lawsuits are pending, as well as to declare the casinos public nuisances and permanently bar them from operating the gaming machines.

“It is the responsibility of the Attorney General to ensure that Alabama’s laws are enforced, including those laws that prohibit illegal gambling,” Marshall said in a statement. “Through multiple rulings in recent years, the Alabama Supreme Court has made it abundantly clear that electronic bingo and the use of slot machines are illegal in all Alabama counties.”
