Alabama legislators continued their 25-year impasse over gambling when they adjourned the legislature on Thursday without approving a lottery, slot machines, or video poker machines.
The bill was defeated by one vote earlier in the session, and supporters were unable to break the deadlock in the Alabama Senate. Efforts to bring the bill before voters later this year were dashed when the Senate declined to take it up again on the last day of the session.
