Now the Army is following the Navy’s lead and reviewing the legality of its bingo games on base. Gambling is not legal in Hawai’i. But the military has conducted bingo games for years.
The Honolulu Star Advertiser reports:
The Army said it is examining its bingo gaming program less than a week after the Navy abruptly suspended its bingo games at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
The Navy also is conducting a review, but the Army said there are no plans to discontinue the popular games while the study is conducted.
“We are committed to following state law and if we suspect for any reason that our program violates (headquarters) guidance or state law, we will cease bingo operations immediately,” the Army said.
