Alabama gambling was one of the first to appear among the states in the south. There are currently only three Alabama casinos that operate today. It started with the formation of the Alabama Racing Commission in 1971. Regulations set forth by the commission permitted municipalities with 300,000 or more residents to hold referendums to determine whether racing should be permitted within the county or city. This law applies to greyhounds and horses. There are currently two greyhound tracks in operation. Off-track betting is also permitted.

Bingo is legal if the proceeds go towards charity. It must also be approved through a local referendum. The emergence of auto-daubing brought a new bingo element to Alabama. Slot machines that used bingo algorithms started appearing in the late 1990’s.

Types of Alabama Online Gambling Allowed

The only form of online gambling legal in Alabama is off-track betting. This includes greyhounds and horses. The state permits skill games to be played for money. Daily fantasy sports sites that include DraftKings and FanDuel feel that their product falls under these laws. Alabama lawmakers and the state attorney general have yet to issue any opinion to the contrary.

Types of Live Alabama Gambling

There are three forms of live legalized gambling in Alabama.

Greyhound Racing

The oldest is greyhound racing. It dates back to 1973 when the first race with pari-mutuel betting at the Mobile Greyhound Park. There were four greyhound tracks in Alabama at one time. Only two operate today. Those tracks are the Mobile Greyhound Park and Birmingham Race Track.

Horseracing

Horseracing is also legal in Alabama. The Birmingham Race Track operated horse racing from 1984 to 1992. The track ran into financial difficulties and ended horseracing. No track offered thoroughbred betting since then.

Video Bingo

Video bingo found a way through a back-door in the early 2000’s. The operators cited the legalization of auto-daubing, meaning a machine is able to cover the numbers called. This translation permitted video bingo displayed in a slot format, or so the operators thought. Alabama state law enforcement raided VictoryLand in Shorter and other facilities after threatening to shut the businesses down.

All tracks ceased video bingo operations in the state. Three reservations launched video bingo while the state raided the tracks. Creek Casino Montgomery, Wind Creek Casino Wetumpka, and Wind Creek Casino Atmore continue offering these games unde
