The battle between charity and tribal bingos continue to be fought in California. Below is an excerpt on the latest.
From The Sacremento Bee:
California tribal casino representatives warn that the state risks losing tens of millions of dollars in tribal revenue-sharing payments if authorities can't shut down charitable bingo parlors that operate casino-style machines.
A new law intended to ban electronic bingo games used by many charities went into effect Jan. 1.
But several bingo parlors in Sacramento and elsewhere have continued operating the machines under a court injunction that stopped state and county authorities from shutting down the games.
