A Lake Havasu senator is defending the use of gaming devices at various veterans' organizations as state agencies move to shut them down. Officials from the departments of, gaming, liquor licensing and revenue say that 'bonanza bingo' machines aren't really playing bingo the way it's permitted under state law.
