STATE icon.jpgOver 1,800 VictoryLand employees picked up paychecks at the Macon County Courthouse on Saturday following the casino’s shutdown this week, according to The Montgomery Advertiser.

The facility shut down on the heels of an Alabama Supreme Court ruling lifting a court order that temporarily stopped Gov. Bob Riley’s Task Force on Illegal gambling from raiding VictoryLand and Country Crossing in Dothan. 

VictoryLand owner Milton McGregor shook hands with employees as they were coming out, and promised to reopen the casino.  Several workers said they weren’t certain what they would do without the pay check or benefits.
