Circuit Judge Tom Young continually has passed restraining orders against the Govenor’s Task Force on Illegal Gambling, refusing to follow the Supreme Court’s earlier orders clearing the way for the task force to raid VictoryLand.
VictoryLand owner Milton McGregor also owns the Birmingham Race Course. His primary office is located in Montgomery, where he lives. He is a member of Frazer Memorial United Methodist Church, Montgomery.
The electronic gambling section of VictoryLand is referred to as Quincy’s Triple Seven Bingo Casino and was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week until McGregor voluntarily closed the casino section down Aug. 9.
Alcoholic beverages were available at VictoryLand until earlier this year when the task force threatened to raid the facility. If no alcohol is sold, Alcoholic Beverage Control Board officers have no reason to enter the facility.
