New claims in a Macon County lawsuit say that former Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford pocketed more than $1.5 million in winnings from Milton McGregor's VictoryLand electronic bingo casino.
The Birmingham News reports on the lawsuit Sunday. It alleges that Langford won the money in more than 500 jackpots at the Shorter casino from 2006 2008.
Lawyers for Sandra Howard amended a 2009 lawsuit on Friday. The Tuskegee resident brought the suit against VictoryLand and its various entities set up to operate Quincy's 777 Casino, an electronic bingo center at the dog track in Shorter.
According to the lawsuit, McGregor and others "arranged for Langford to win more than 521 substantial jackpots representing more than $1,500,000 by manipulating and controlling bingo games."
Efforts to reach Langford and an attorney for VictoryLand for comment were unsuccessful Saturday.
