Milton McGregor is dusting the furniture at VictoryLand as the casino prepares to reopen soon.

Last week, Circuit Judge William Shashy ruled in favor of the Alabama casino, saying the state was “cherry picking” its enforcement of gambling laws when it shut down VictoryLand several years ago, AL.com reported.

Two years ago, the attorney general’s office sought to forfeit 1,615 bingo machines, claiming the machines are illegal gambling devices. The state also seized $263,000 from the casino, but Shashy the company that owns VictoryLand had “substantial evidence” that electronic bingo was authorized in a charity bingo amendment approved by local voters in 2003.

Shashy said there are four casinos in Greene County and two casinos in Lowndes County operating a total of 1,798 electronic bingo machines.
