The five-member Missouri Gaming Commission this week unanimously approved a settlement agreement and $375,000 fine against a company that provided electronic bingo machines to casinos in Alabama.
The order states that International Game Technology, or IGT, failed to inform the Missouri commission of a 2009 warning it had received from then Alabama Gov. Bob Riley concerning the legality of the machines in Alabama and also did not report an attempted seizure of the machines at VictoryLand in Macon County.
IGT also failed to report a 2008 federal grand jury subpoena seeking documents related to their business dealings at VictoryLand and the Jefferson County Racing Association, according to the order.
Missouri gaming regulations require licensees to within 15 days report the receipt of any subpoena or notice that they are the target of any gambling investigation.
A spokeswoman for IGT could not immediately be reached for comment.
The Missouri Commission last month issued a preliminary decision to fine Bally Technologies $600,000 for also failing to report activities in Alabama.
