In Walker County-- officials turned their attention to the little guys-- shutting down several small bingo casinos Thursday night.
The discreet operations were in homes and small store fronts. One house had about 50 machines between the living room and bed rooms.
Walker County Sheriff John Tirey says there was nothing charitable about the casinos. He says he's not even sure if they paid taxes. Walker County ruled the games illegal last year.
