It is really simple and no one seems to understand that the issue is exactly what is electronic bingo? Strange says the machines that class IIi are not allowed in ALA. Well electronic bingo does exist all over the US so the question is what do people use when playing electronic bingo? Every state I have ever been in that has electronic bingo games uses a machine that looks and acts like a slot machine. My question is are there any other forms of electronic bingo that exist? If not then Mr. Strange is saying that no such thing as electronic bingo exists and he is wrong as the world can invent electronic bingo and it can look like a slot and still be electronic bingo class ii gaming. He needs to stop his ridculous argument between class 11 and class 111 and at least be honest and say he believes there is no such thing as electronic bingo and then someone can have a valid argument with him.

It was not my intention to stir the pot. I may have become a little emotional on
this matter. I have always worked hard and paid my taxes. My father always
said give unto Ceasar that which belongs to Ceasar. I will not comment further
on this matter. When I die one day I can say with a clean conscience Lord
prepare to recieve thou humble servant.

I am in Milton and myself and lots of people I know go to Wind Creek just for night out to have dinner on seafood night. The kids and grandkids go and we make a fun night of it. Not everyone gambles but I would if we went without the little ones.If I lived there I would be grateful for the jobs that the PCI provide and support them rather than try to find ways to punish them.

Why does Alabama not wake up and approve gambling in the state. Think of all the advantages, it would help our economy in so many ways. Airports,motels,resturants,alll types of stores, and most of this will be from out of state money. Plus the fact of all the jobs it will create. The taxes would help our state. Our politicians, and church people will not have to go to Las Vegas, and out of state Not all church people are against going to a casino.
People talk about people going and spending money that the family needs. What about the bars, it takes money the family needs too.
We have too much government now. They stick their nose in things that should be a persons right. When they should be working on things to make our state a better place to live in. Leave the Indians alone.

You know I am one who enjoys a real family outing. Relaxing environment with excellent food. Even a good movie afterwards in a private room. Then a massage, maybe a dip in a wonderful endless pool. Who knows maybe a hot tub and and some late night catering service. And more movies. And an awesome nights sleep in a bed you won’t believe exists till you try it. All with Fido included. Thank you Wind Creek for allowing that to happen. No where else in our county can I take my children, my family, and my pets and feel as pampered and complete!

Anyone who believes the entire Esco commission wasn’t in on this is blind. Vote for the opposition whoever it may be. Atmore people seem to think if u coach little league or serve as a deacon that’s all it takes to make u a govt official…didn’t God give u a brain to consider what these people stand for? Make these politicians accountable!

Alabama, one of the poorest states in the nation, due mostly to the worse run government in the world, is now trying to cut revenue to the state by millions of dollars….which will hurt education, hospitals, roads, new business coming into the state, etc….what are these numnuts using for brains. . . I hope the Indians shove this action up their butts…I’m still appalled, that in their wisdom, they closed down the casino in Shorter, putting thousands of Macon County residents out of work when the unemployment rate was at an all time low, again, what are they thinking…people are going to gamble, keep the revenue in the state, don’t send it to Mississippi…and stop doing these things in the name of religion, religion is the reason planes flew into the towers, this is just as stupid/bad

@ the duke of wawbeek, all you do is stir the pot, I’ve lived in this area all my life and the only person in wawbeek who would even come close to being a duke is a farmer and business man. He would not have time to sit around doing nothing but spreading hate. As for the State of Alalabama coming in and taking over the casino and turning it into a retirement home, it won’t happen. The tribe owns the building and the land, we could only hope that they target you and your property and see how you like it. You seem to be an angry person with a chip on you shoulders, try thinking of something positive and maybe you will feel better, my mother always told me people like to spread negative thoughts around about other people because it keeps the light off them and you are a fine example of that!!
