MONTGOMERY — Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange has written a letter to the National Indian Gaming Commission asking that electronic bingo machines be banned from Indian-operated casinos in Alabama.
In his letter dated Friday, Strange said the electronic bingo machines are not allowed under Alabama law and that state non-Indian casinos offering the games have closed.
Strange said in the letter that electronic bingo machines are "patently illegal'' under Alabama law.
A spokeswoman for Gov. Robert Bentley, Rebekah Mason, told The Birmingham News the governor supports Strange's efforts on gambling.
