Montgomery, AL – A proposed constitutional amendment has been introduced in the Alabama House that would let Alabama voters decide if they want to legalize electronic bingo games at certain locations in the state.
The amendment by Democratic Rep. Marcel Black of Tuscumbia would call for Alabama voters to decide in the general election vote Nov. 2 if they want to allow electronic bingo at some locations, tax it and regulate it.
The bill would allow the electronic bingo at greyhound dog tracks in Mobile, Greene, Macon and Jefferson counties. It would also allow the games at the Country Crossing facility in Dothan, at the White Hall gamining center in Lowndes County, at a second undertermined location in Birmingham and at undecided locations in the 4th and 5th Congressional districts.
