Please review the editing policies before deleting references to the sponsor of the initiative to repeal video lottery in South Dakota. Rather than pretend that organization does not exist, perhaps you could link to the pro-video lottery websites. This is a group forum that welcomes all points of view.
This article is pointless if we don't explain the difference between a VLT and a slot machine.
The article does not make clear the difference between VLT and slot machines, which renders it useless since a VLT is identical in appearance to a slot machine (at least the VLTs I've played at NY racinos have been). I'd edit it, but I don't understand the difference myself. My understanding was that a slot machine had self-contained odds, whereas a VLT's odds are determined by the centralized computer. No? Please elaborate in the article if you understand the difference. — Preceding

'VLTs are located in licensed establishments that are not accessible to minors.' This is not correct, or, is very misleading at best. It is correct that minors are not allowed to play VLTs. But for example, VLTs are allowed in family restaurants which have liquor licenses meaning one side of the room could be filled with families eating breakfast at 9:00 AM while the other side of the room could be filled with people using VLTs. Regulations regarding partitions, walls, or separators vary by province. Furthermore, if it is an aboriginal gaming facility then the regulations are more lenient. Take for example the Acadia First Nation in Nova Scotia, who have six gas stations (some being one room, the size of a small family home) selling the usual convenience store goods but with one part dedicated to VLTs. — Preceding

Admittedly I may have been unclear, but when in say, a family restaurant, they are usually part of a bar area (the licensed establishment) that is not accessivle to minors. ViperSnake151 Talk 05:38, 25 November 2023 (UTC)reply
