Victoryland is Open Again 

Well, it appears that Victoryland has opened their doors again, and they are maintaining that their slot machines are legal. They re-opened their doors Friday night and the Rev. Jesse Jackson was there to show his support. But what was he showing his support for? The illegal slot machines? The gambling? Sometimes it simply depends on how you look at a situation. 

Jackson was there to show that the doors were open and that the machines in question were not slot machines yet they were legal electronic bingo machines. The only problem is that electronic bingo games are illegal in Alabama. So again, what was he there to support? 

Most people are waiting to see if the Task Force will raid them again and shut them down upon finding slot machines. The business has 6,400 slot machines on the premises and they were able to open their doors again after having closed them on February 4^th. Circuit Judge Tom Young ruled that the task force did not have any authority in their county, and the slot machines were back open for business right afterwards.  

But the task force said that they are continuing on the way that they have been. They said that they are going to deal with it, and with the corruption that comes along with it. They said that this is the very thing that they are fighting against, and that the laws in the state of Alabama are to be followed by everyone, not just a select few. They said that they are trying to “cripple law enforcement” and allow illegal slot machines and casinos in Alabama- and they are “not going to tolerate it.” 

It was amazing how many of the patrons sided with the illegal slot machines and wanted the governor impeached because he was enforcing the law.
