14-Jan-06. New VLTs may not reduce problem gambling. Edmonton Journal, F12.

New video lottery terminals (VLTs) with responsible gaming features have been well accepted into bars but may not reduce problem gambling. The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission recently released the first report of a five-year study on the effect of those features. The machines, introduced in 2003, show the time of day, player credits in dollars and cents, and pop-up reminders of time played.
