Alberta VLTs Trigger Community Debates Across Provinces
Alberta debates over video lottery terminals pit bans against local control. Barrhead's 20 VLTs yielded $6.1 million in 1996, with $1.5 million sent to provincial revenues and $122,000 in local grants. Editorials urge communities to decide, while some see VLTs as immoral tax and others propose returning to bingo.
