17-Jan-07. Serve up a VLT reality check: Post the odds. Lethbridge Herald, A6.

This editorial discusses a complaint headed to the federal Competition Bureau by six individuals who say that video lottery terminals (VLTs) violate the Competition Act by engaging in deceptive marketing. One Halifax complainant says software in the machines creates near-misses that impel the gambler to keep playing. The author suggests that it would be helpful for VLT players to be better informed of the odds of winning and to post them on every machine and on the back of lottery tickets.
