Victoryland has been betting on the future of gambling in Alabama since it opened 40 years ago. And it’s still searching for that winning combination.

When Victoryland opened in 1984 in rural Macon County, the $10 million facility offered live greyhound races at its track about 300 days a year.

Forty years later, the dogs are gone. After a brief period in which it transformed into one of the largest casinos in the United States with electronic bingo before being shut down by state courts, it now stays afloat mainly with the help of horses.

Instead of electronic bingo that was banned by the court, Victoryland has more than 1,000 historical horse racing machines.
