A federal jury in Montgomery, Alabama handed down a $64 million dollar verdict against an electronic bingo operator and its owner. The lawsuit was filed in 2006 in Montgomery federal court by a b ... usiness consortium called Lucky Palace that wanted to set up a rival operation and the 15 charities that had contracted with it to operate bingo in the county. The county’s bingo regulations were issued and amended twice to ensure that no rival could get into the bingo business, according to the lawsuit.
