Bingo Confusion

According to officials, the state needs to take a stand on what is a slot machine and what is a bingo machine so that they can put it behind them. They say that since the governor has not taken a stance on what is the definition of a slot machine that he has made their lives much harder than they have to be.

They say that Governor Bob Riley and Attorney General Troy King need to get involved in slot machines. Etowah County Dist. Atty. Jimmie Harp says that with King and Riley not getting involved with the slot machine case. They have added to his workload. He says that he should be spending his time in court dealing with things that are important like drugs and murders, not whether or not slot machines and bingo machines are the same thing.

Harp is referencing a recent court case that he had to bring to the circuit judges as to whether or not CBS Supply can bring an electronic bingo games. The problem is that with no clear distinction as to what makes a bingo machine and what makes a slot machine, Harp has to fight in the courts so that the judges can decide whether or not they are legal.

He says that if Riley were to simply push forward some form of statewide bingo legislation that had clear-cut boundaries as to what was legal and what wasn't, this would eliminate any need for him to spend his time in court trying to figure out whether or not they are slot machines. He says the government legislators could simply call a special session and figure out what their definition of a slot machine is, and then there would be no more statewide confusion on the topic.
