In August 2016, the Greene County Circuit Court sided with the state of the of Alabama over controversial seizures of electronic bingo machines at the Frontier Bingo of Knoxville.

“Today’s actions are the culmination of an investigative process over the last several months,” said Attorney General Strange. “From my first day in office, we have worked hand-in-hand with Governor Bentley and his staff to ensure that illegal gambling laws are enforced consistently across the state.”
As a result of the Attorney General’s efforts, the country’s largest gambling machine manufacturers removed their machines from Alabama earlier this year. The Greenetrack facility reopened, however, with machines that state law enforcement agents have determined to be illegal.
“We have worked to try to resolve this matter with minimal controversy,” said Attorney General Strange. “We have offered Greenetrack numerous opportunities to resolve this matter by surrendering some of its machines to the State, to allow a court to determine the legality of the machines. We personally met with Greenetrack representatives and the Greene County Sheriff numerous times to work out arrangements for this solution. Unfortunately, Greenetrack has simply refused to compromise or discuss this matter in good faith and we have been left with no alternative but to treat this as we would any other law enforcement matter.”

A Greene County judge has ruled that the state can keep cash and bingo machines seized from Frontier Bingo two years ago.
Agents with the Alabama Attorney General's Office and Alabama Department of Public Safety seized $191,249 and 449 bingo machines from Frontier Bingo in Knoxville on March 31, 2014. Authorities claimed that the machines were illegal, and more like typical Las Vegas-style slot machines than the bingo that is allowed in Greene County.
Greene County Circuit Court Judge Eddie Hardaway ruled on Monday that the machines be disposed of or destroyed and the cash transferred to the state's general fund.
'This is a significant victory for the rule of law in Greene County,' Attorney General Luther Strange said in a statement released Monday afternoon.
'Electronic bingo is unlawful within the state of Alabama and today's ruling is further evidence that the law is being enforced.'
