BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A Jefferson County judge has upheld a decision that electronic bingo is illegal in Walker County.
Circuit Court Judge Robert S. Vance stood by his Oct. 16 order that the machines be outlawed in the county. Attorneys for bingo charities, operators and game manufacturers had asked that he reconsider his position because of a recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling in a Lowndes County bingo case.
Vance originally ruled that legislators and voters did not approve the electronic form of the popular game when Walker County's bingo amendment was OK'd in 1992.
