VLT
Vote
New
Brunswicker's had an opportunity to vote in a
"one-time referendum on the future of video
lottery terminals (VLTs)" on May 14, 2001.
The
question was as follows (information from NB Legislature
April 3, 2001 by Justice Minister Brad Green):
Should
the Province of New Brunswick continue to permit
the legal and regulated operation of video gaming
devices (commonly known as video lottery terminals
or VLTs)?
Yes _____ No ______
A
"YES" vote meant that the government's
policy regarding video lottery terminals would
not change. . . A "NO" vote meant that
operating VLTs in New Brunswick will be illegal
after March 31, 2002, when the province's current
contract with the New Brunswick Coin Owners Association
expires.
