Gov. Bob Riley’s anti gambling task force asked the Alabama Supreme Court on Thursday to lift his order blocking a raid of the new bingo casino near Dothan before Sunday, but the judge declined to set a hearing before the search warrant expires.

David Barber the task force leader who planned a raid of the Country Crossing with hundreds of agents was blocked early Wednesday by Circuit Judge P.B. McLauchlin of Ozark ruling that stopping the games would interfere with gambling revenue needed to pay off bonds used to build the $87 million casino and entertainment attraction.

However, court filings show the task force had planned to conduct the raid with a search warrant issued by a district judge in Dothan arguing that the machines don’t meet the characteristics for legal bingo that the Alabama Supreme Court recently outlined in a separate case involving the White Hall casino 20 miles west of Montgomery.

Those requirements included active involvement by the player, including paying attention to the numbers announced and recognizing a win.

Country Crossing opened in December with 1,700 electronic bingo machines, restaurants, an inn and a concert venue.

The gambling and entertainment complex insists its games are legal and is fighting Barber’s legal efforts.
