A proposed constitutional amendment offered by State Senator Jim McClendon, R-Springville, gives the people of Alabama the right to vote on a lottery. McClendon’s legislation is a clean bill because it only covers one subject: a lottery.


Opponents of the bill, and even some supporters, have mischaracterized portions of the constitutional amendment or failed to grasp it offerings and limitations. This is especially true about Section 8 that deals with pari-mutuel wagering, which is already legal in specific locations, and a video lottery, which is a growth market for states that offer such games.


The Poarch Band of Creek Indians vigorously oppose Section 8 because it threatens their billion dollar tax-free gambling monopoly.

PCI pays no state or federal taxes on the income it takes in from its three casinos in Alabama.
