How much does he use and lose on electronic gambling machines?

Mobile County (Alabama) District Attorney John Tyson questioned whether Milton McGregor, who operates more than 6,000 electronic bingo machines at Victoryland casino in Shorter, Alabama, crossed a legal line when he hired a detective to recently follow a state law enforcement official.

”Mr. McGregor needs to be concerned about whether or not he’s going to intimidate law enforcement officials from doing their jobs. I think it borders on obstruction and we are going to look into that immediately,” Tyson said.

McGregor defended his actions Monday. ”You can monitor activities going on around you. Everyone is entitled to do that,” he said.

Most predatory gambling traders say their “service” is no different than other forms of entertainment. They describe it the same as drinking wine, going out to a restaurant or going to the movies.  Yet the owner of the vineyard drinks the wine he makes. The owner of the restaurant eats the food he serves.  The movie actress watches the movies she makes. This is the only product or service where most of the people who own it and promote it, don’t use it.

After D.A. Tyson questions McGregor about intimidating law enforcement, his next question should be how much does he use and lose on electronic gambling machines?

Why? Because like Steve Wynn has said before: you don’t make money gambling in a casino. You only make money by owning the casino.
