Kansas lawmakers considering lottery vending machinesReply
Hi Bleudog101, A VLT is short for Video Lottery Terminal. I have noticed that Oregon has them and they are very profitable for the State. They are called Lottery because that is what Oregon Lottery wants. The video gaming terminal can be for card games like poker or slots.

New York Lottery accounting method questionedNews Story
Billions of dollars in bets are kept off the New York Lottery's books. That's because the state Lottery Division does not publicly report the wagers on its video games that go to gamblers as prizes. The figures aren't included in the Lottery's annual reports or audited financial statements, and the Lottery initially declined requests for the amounts wagered on the video machines, and the prizes paid, since the machines were introduced in 2004. Late yesterday, however, a Lottery official

Video gambling a cash cow even for smaller statesNews Story
Surveying West Virginia's rural neighborhoods, where most people lack broadband access to the Internet, you would never guess the state is a lottery cash cow. That is until you drove by the racetracks that dot major population centers. There you would see crowds of people shoving streams of dollars into buzzing and blinking video lottery terminals the reason this small state, with one of the country's lowest per-capita incomes is home to one of the most lucrative lotteries in the natio

Alabama lottery debate: Senators try to reach compromise on 2 proposalsReply
Kill the VLT. I can't believe it is called the Video Lottery Terminal. It belongs in a casino with a new name like Video Gaming Terminal. They make a lot of profit because they are addictive. Stay with Power Ball and Mega Millions.

W.Va. Lottery has $81M surplusReply
Bet you're not aware of the fact many years ago the West Virginia Lottery (an agency of the government) partnered with the horse racing industry and placed a few video poker, keno, and other video gaming machines at WVA racetracks and shared the profits. Over the years the number of machines expanded and today each track has a full service Vegas type casino. The horse racing industry that was the bottom of the barrel is now thriving. If the statement you're agreeing with is true, how do you a

How online gamblers unmasked cheatersReply
I know that a lot of people believe the Lottery shouldn't be involved in any hard core games. I wonder if this kind of article would prompt them to reconsider...some state lotteries have been running video lottery for years. I also wonder how many people know that a lot of the video gaming happening on Indian reservations is simply Bingo software with graphics to make it look like poker/whatever.
