Attorney General’s office conducts raid at White Hall Entertainment in Lowndes County

Attorney General Steve Marshall has announced that his office has raided White Hall Entertainment in Lowndes County after getting a search warrant.

Marshall says his office got a temporary retraining order and found what he calls 600 illegal slot machines. He says White Hall has been closed with all assets frozen.

“Today’s operations reflect the ongoing enforcement of previous orders issued by the Alabama Supreme Court for Lowndes County,” Attorney General Marshall stated. “The individuals, building owners, and operators of these illegal machines acted in defiance of the law, local court orders, and Supreme Court of our state. Rackets such as these will not be tolerated in Lowndes County or elsewhere in Alabama,” Marshall said in a statement.

He says multiple entities are associated with the casino including: Cornerstone Community Outreach, Winter Sky LLC, White Sands Technology LLC, BB23 LLC, and R&J Holding Company, Inc.

Marshall says White Hall was previously shut down after the Supreme Court of Alabama issued an order in September 2022 declaring that the operation of so-called “electronic bingo” was an ongoing nuisance. He says White Hall Entertainment chose not to abide by the Circuit Court’s order and instead reopened with illegal gaming machines.

The Attorney General’s Office led the operation and received assistance and support from White Hall Police Chief Alvetta Coates and the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office, Marshall said.
