Injunction Lifted on Ban

California is cracking down on slot machines that are not located within a tribal casino. They have been fighting to have this right, but unfortunately the charities are fighting back as they say that they need the slot machines in order to generate funds. The state says that if they are not legal, then they are gone.

There was an injunction against the state to keep them from enforcing the law that says that they could not have slot machines, but a federal appeals court has now lifted that injunction. This means that within three weeks the state can start shutting down these slot machines. The charities are obviously looking for another appeal to hold off on the state shutting them down, but it is not looking hopeful for them right now.

They say that there was a law that was passed last year that made their slot machines illegal. They say that the law violates the Americans with Disabilities Act that allows those that are hearing impaired, blind, or without the use of their limbs to not be able to play bingo. They say that the bingo machines are the only games that they can easily use and that this becomes a hindrance to them if they lose this ability.

But the state maintains that the bingo machines are slot machines and there isn’t much else that can be done about it. They say that if residents want to play at the slot machines they are going to have to go to a legal casino and do it, not just anywhere else.
