- Question - What is a Video Lottery Terminal?
A Video Lottery Terminal (VLT) is an electronic terminal similar to a computer where someone can wager money. VLTs can simulate almost any type of traditional game where someone would wager, such as poker, blackjack, or slot machines. They can even be organized at a table where multiple players could play against each other, such as at a competitive poker tournament. Some call them the 'crack-cocaine' of gambling. They are not your father's or mother's 'slots.'
