VLT (Virtual Lottery Terminal) lounges were introduced to Alberta and other parts of Canada in the early 1990s and have been growing in popularity ever since. The games range from video poker to slot machine games and other video games. The difference between VLT games and the gaming machines you’ll find in arcades is that with a VLT you can win money. Because of this, all VLT games and all VLT lounges are age restricted and supervised by the state lottery authority.
Because they are age-restricted, most VLT lounges will include liquor sales, either in the form of a liquor store or well-stocked bar, and smoking is permitted in most lounges. Thanks to the popularity of VLTs, many bars and lounges across Canada are incorporating them. Edmonton, in particular, is great for VLT lounge enthusiasts. Located in the center of town amidst other casinos, shops and restaurants, these lounges provide a prime getaway spot for casual gamblers. Visitors can sit back, relax and try their luck.
So how can you find a VLT salon in Edmonton? The games room at the Sands Hotel has twenty-five VLTs. The Lady Luck VLT Lounge offers a relaxing and beautifully furnished environment to play to your heart’s content. Prospector’s Gaming Room has a variety of games and machines, including a great selection of VLTs. The Den Bar & Grill at the Comfort Inn also has a VLT lounge, as does the video arcade at the Ramada.
Good, clean fun at the VLT lounges
Edmonton’s tourism industry has been developing in recent years, with attractions such as the Galaxyland amusement park and the Sea Life Caverns. The area also attracts lovers of finer things like the arts and eclectic shopping, with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, the Art Gallery of Alberta and the Alberta Ballet. Local Edmonton residents and visitors alike can enjoy all these things and more, and then sit side by side to win a little extra spending machine at the VLTs.
Because VLT games are a form of gambling, some people have had concerns about their placement in bars and lounges. Gambling addiction is a serious problem for some people and can lead to financial ruin and dangerous and erratic behavior. Fortunately, however, salon owners and managers in the Edmonton area are very responsible. They provide a comfortable, fun and relaxing environment that is both safe and secure. The lottery commission also polices the halls, and the VLTs have brought a lot of business and money to the Edmonton community.
When you play on a VLT, the lottery fee ensures that all game outcomes are completely random. The owners and managers of the room you play at are here to serve you, not rip you off. You’ll be amazed at how much and how often you can win while having a drink and relaxing after a full day at work or gaming. Who knows? You can earn enough to take your family on next year’s big vacation, or at least pay for a drink or two.
