24-Mar-06. No more stop buttons on VLTs. Edmonton Journal, A5.

The government of Newfoundland has ordered the removal of stop buttons on all video lottery terminals (VLTs) in the province. The Atlantic Lottery Corp. has been told to remove the device on the 2,700 VLTs which are available to patrons at many of the province’s bars and restaurants. Gambling opponents say that stop buttons contribute to problematic gambling behaviours.
