About VLT Near Me

VLT Near Me is an independent directory built to answer one simple question: where can you actually find video lottery terminals? VLTs sit in bars, lounges, taverns, pubs, hotels, beverage rooms, and Royal Canadian Legions, not casinos, and until now there hasn’t been one clear place to look them all up. So we built it. We’re not affiliated with any lottery corporation or provincial regulator, and we don’t run a single machine. We just map them.

What This Site Does

We track the age-restricted, liquor-licensed venues that host VLTs across the seven provinces that have them: Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. If you want to understand the product itself, see how VLTs work and VLTs vs slots. And if you’re checking the rules where you live, VLT laws in Canada covers the minimum age and regulator for each province.

A few things worth knowing up front. Ontario and BC don’t have VLTs at all; their electronic gaming is casino slot machines, which is a different product with a different regulator. VLTs are government-run terminals networked to a central provincial system, so they answer to bodies like AGLC, SLGA, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, and the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, depending on where you are.

Coverage and Sourcing

Right now we’re live in five provinces. Saskatchewan carries roughly 551 VLT venues, Manitoba around 431, Alberta more than 730, and Nova Scotia 176, for roughly 1,900 listings in total, with a smaller confirmed list now live for New Brunswick too. The Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba listings are sourced from official provincial VLT records, including locators like SaskVLT.com where they exist and AGLC’s licensed-venue records in Alberta. Nova Scotia is a best-effort exception: with no official current locator for the province, we compiled it from a 2021 provincial dataset plus the public liquor-licence registry, so it carries lower confidence than the others, call ahead. New Brunswick has no official public locator either, so we took a different tack there: instead of inferring from an old dataset, we started a confirmed but partial list of venues we could verify offer VLTs, and we’re growing it over time. Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador are coming soon: their venue lists are being built, but their regional hubs already carry the regulator, minimum age, and responsible-gambling helpline for each.
