An injunction has been issued against the state's shutdown of the BINGO facility...and Alabama officials must now return the machines and money seized and not mess with the center until the judge rules. Judge Mark Kennedy questioned the legality of the warrants in the case and in the way they were carried out.

On a related note...Arkansas became the 43rd state to offer a lottery last week, and Nevada is headed in the same direction. If you look at a map of states without a lottery, Alabama and Mississippi are looking mighty lonely. Arkansas' game will fund college scholarships.
Is anyone really surprised the judge who worked for the Wind Creek Casino project and didn't recuse himself ruled this way?
