VLTs in Newfoundland and Labrador

Regulation versus today

The regulation caps prizes at $500 per wager², while Atlantic Lottery now describes an automatic cash-out when the bank reaches $1,000⁵. Treat the regulation as the legal frame, not as the current setting on every machine.

Siteholders may not give credit or cash cheques for play⁶.

Rules on every Atlantic Lottery VLT

Atlantic Lottery operates the VLTs in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, and only people 19 or older may play or redeem prizes⁷.

Every terminal shows a clock, displays amounts in cash rather than credits and shows a gambling support line⁸. It stops taking cash once the bank reaches $60⁹.

Session reminders appear at 60, 90, 120 and 145 minutes, there is a mandatory cash-out after 150 minutes of continuous play, and an automatic cash-out when the bank reaches $1,000⁵. The printed brochure gives the last reminder at 140 minutes¹⁰.

Outcomes are random and decided by the machine when you press play; nothing you do changes them¹¹. VLTs are not set never to pay, but the odds favour the house¹². Cash-out tickets are paid in full within 365 days¹³.
