Montgomery, Alabama
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama Senate on Thursday advanced a scaled-back gambling proposal — allowing a state lottery and electronic wagering machines at several locations in the state — as lawmakers try to strike a compromise that can win the needed votes in both chambers.
“It’s true of any legislation, it’s trying to find what we can pass,” said state Sen. Greg Albritton, who made the Senate proposal. It would allow seven locations, including the state’s four dog tracks, to have “historical racing computerized machines.” Those are a product that allows players to bet on replays of horse races. The newest of the devices can resemble slot machines. The seven sites would include the state’s four dog tracks located in Greene, Jefferson, Macon and Mobile counties. They could also be located at sites in Houston, Lowndes and an additional site in Greene County.
“I think that conference is where we’ll be able to get a product out that will satisfy both Houses,” Singleton said. “I don’t know what that is going to look like. But we will have a comprehensive game plan, hopefully,” he said.
