VictoryLand is a greyhound track, casino, and hotel in Shorter, Alabama.

Facilities[edit]

The 1,230-foot greyhound racing track operated for 27 years but live racing came to an end in 2011. Victoryland still offers simulcasts and wagering for both greyhound and thoroughbred races elsewhere.[1]

Quincy's 777 casino[edit]

VictoryLand is home to Quincy's 777, a casino, and used to be home to over 7,000 different slot machines.[2] Before its closure, Quincy's 777 was the largest electronic bingo casino in the state.[3]

Feb 27, 2020 Victoryland was the largest casino in the south before it was closed down. This time around, it is a mere shadow of itself, Date of experience: November 2019 Ask James H about VictoryLand 1 Thank James H. VictoryLand is a greyhound track, casino, and hotel in Shorter, Alabama.

Oasis Hotel[edit]

The Oasis Hotel, was a 300-room hotel which was built on the VictoryLand property, and opened on November 1, 2009. It was closed on August 12, 2010 and has not reopened since that time. The hotel had a fine-dining restaurant called Whitfield's Steakhouse, O's Lobby Bar, and the O Brew cafe'.[4]

History[edit]

On August 12, 2010, VictoryLand closed its casino, restaurant and hotel operations. The restaurant and hotel operations remain closed as of 2020.

On October 4, 2010, VictoryLand owner Milton McGregor was arrested along with 10 state senators and lobbyists after a federal probe relating to the improprieties of state gambling legislation. McGregor was charged with one count of conspiracy, 6 counts of bribery and 11 counts of honest services fraud.[5][6][7] He was acquitted on all counts in March 2012.[8] The casino floor was reopened in December 2012, over the objection of Attorney General Luther Strange, who argued that VictoryLand's electronic bingo machines were illegal slot machines.[9]

On June 25, 2015, Judge William Shashy dismissed the civil forfeiture case against Victoryland brought after the Attorney General Luther Strange's office executed a search warrant in 2013 seizing $263,106 in cash and 1,615 gaming machines. Judge Shashy said 'The state could not and did not offer any substantive reason why it permitted this state of affairs to continue at other facilities, while taking its present stance against the same operations at Victoryland…The propriety of the State of Alabama electing to currently pursue action against only one facility is of great concern. It is apparent at the present time that the State of Alabama is cherrypicking which facilities should remain open or closed. This Court refuses to be used an instrument to perpetuate unfair treatment,' This gave Victoryland the right to re-open with full operations able to resume.[10]

VictoryLand reopened September 14, 2016 with 502 gaming machines on the casino floor.[11]

I always have fun during my visits to Victoryland. The staff are friendly and there are a variety of slots to choose from. During my last visit, i noticed new games were added with more chances to win. Victoryland also give out free cash through the community Prize just for playing on most games (black chairs). I’ve been lucky enough to win big and small through the community prize.

My husband and I like to play slots so loved the selections since we had never been there before. We got $25 each for first time free play which was very nice.
