Bingo: Bingo Hall Operating In Mechanicsville Has Machines Seized

|
The ADF Bingo Hall in Mechanicsville had been warned by authorities just like many other bingo establishments that carried instant bingo machines. They did not heed the warnings they were given.

The Maryland Attorney's General Office declared many of the bingo machines that were being used in restaurants, bars, and other devices violates the state's law. Most of the establishments using the bingo machines have unplugged or removed the bingo machines from their facilities.

The ADF Bingo Hall, however, had not bothered with acknowledging the warning, and kept on using the bingo machines. By Thursday, their bingo machines, over sixty of them, had been confiscated by the police.

The owner of ADF had hoped that the Sheriffs Office would show up, this way, she could show them that the particular bingo machines she was using were legal. She never received that opportunity.

Police did come to her bingo hall, but it was not to see whether the bingo machines were legal or not. It was simply to confiscate the bingo machines. Diamond Game manufactures the bingo machines that the bingo hall was using.

Their President, James A. Breslo, had this to say, "She(bingo hall owner) was waiting for them to come by so she could demonstrate how these bingo machines were legal. That never happened, and without notice, they(authorities) just showed up and hauled these bingo machines away."
