What Is a VLT?

A VLT (Video Lottery Terminal) is an electronic gaming machine licensed and regulated by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) commission. VLTs are legal in Alberta and are operated in licensed bars and lounges like Bayside VLT Lounge in Medicine Hat.

VLTs offer a variety of games — including poker-style games, slots-style games, and more — all on a touchscreen terminal. They're similar in feel to slot machines you'd find in a casino.

How Do VLTs Work?

1. 1.Insert cash — VLTs accept Canadian bills. Insert your money and it converts to credits on the machine.
2. 2.Choose your game — Most VLTs offer multiple game options. Browse through and pick the one you want to play.
3. 3.Set your bet — Choose how many credits to bet per spin or hand. You can bet as little as a few cents per play.
4. 4.Play — Press the button or tap the screen to play. The machine will display your result instantly.
5. 5.Cash out — When you're ready to stop, press the cash-out button. The machine prints a ticket you can redeem at the bar.
