MONTGOMERY - AL -
A federal lawsuit that resulted in a $64 million jury verdict against the VictoryLand casino in Macon County and its owner Milton McGregor has been settled. A joint statement by McGregor's attorney Joe Espy and the plaintiffs's lawyer Steve Heninger, said the two sides had reached an agreement settling all issues and vacating the judgment.
The lawsuit was filed by Lucky Palace and 15 charities against McGregor, VictoryLand and Macon County Sheriff David Warren. It was filed after Warren refused to issue Lucky Palace a license to operate charitable electronic bingo games near VictoryLand at the Shorter exit on Interstate 85.
