District Attorney Arthur Green is giving bingo hall operators unless 6 p.m. to cease operations.
Green, appearing in Circuit Judge Eugene Verin's courtroom this morning, said based on the state Supreme Court ruling "the gig is up."
Verin's courtroom was packed with attorneys who claim they will continue to argue the constitutionality issue.
If the halls don't close voluntarily, Green said he will allow Gambling Task Force Chief John Tyson Jr. to take action.
