Update On SB 1369 - Electronic Bingo
The California Assembly passed SB 1369 last Wednesday to ban electronic bingo machines at churches and charities.
The California Tribal Business Alliance, which consist of six tribes represented by the same attorney, is pushing SB 1369 with the support of the Catholic Church. The tribe say the use of the machines violates the tribal-state compact.
Some churches and charities oppose the measure. "This is a ramrod job," said Doug Bergman, president of United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Sacramento, The Los Angeles Times. "You know it and I know it."
The Senate is expected to pass the bill as well.

Let us not forget that the Sycuan tribe is currently claiming that their one-touch bingo machines are not slot machines. The electronic bingo machines being outlawed in SB 1369 are true Class II Bingo machines, meaning that players (at least two are required, by law, to start game) compete in an actual bingo game, requiring daubing and claiming (yelling "Bingo!"), only done all electronically. These are true bingo games, simply at the pace of the modern world.
