Slot Machine Private Ownership in Alabama

Private ownership of a traditional, Vegas-style, Class III slot machine in Alabama is illegal. However, it is legal to own a competition- or bingo-style, Class II gaming machine privately.

Gaming Control Board in Alabama

Regulation of Class II, bingo-style tribal casinos in Alabama is by the federal IGRA. In part, the IGRA allows tribes to offer types of games not prohibited by the state.

Alabama’s constitution once banned all forms of gambling, until amendments allowed for pari-mutuel racing in 1971 and charitable bingo in 1980. Therefore, the federal IGRA allows Alabama’s federally recognized tribes to offer bingo in the form of gaming machines. Alabama still prohibits Vegas-style slot machines and table games.
