14-Jan-06. Worries raised on VLT alarm. Calgary Sun, 18.

A scientific study on electronic warnings built into video lottery terminals (VLTs) to help people control their gambling indicates the features are only having limited success. Harold Wynne, one of the report’s co-authors, says that there is little evidence that the responsible gaming features are decreasing the time and amount of money spent on VLTs. Researchers interviewed 165 VLT users both before and after the introduction of the machines, between May 2003 and January 2004.
