VLTs in New Brunswick

If you’re looking for VLTs in New Brunswick, you’ll find them in licensed bars and lounges across the province, not in casinos. Our New Brunswick venue list is now live, so you can search it by town and see what’s near you. One honest caveat up front: this is a confirmed but partial list, a starter set we’re still growing, not a complete map of every venue. More on that below. For the other provinces we cover, you can also browse Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, and Nova Scotia.

How VLTs Work in New Brunswick

VLTs in New Brunswick are run by the Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC), the same Crown agency that handles video lottery terminals across Atlantic Canada. These aren’t casino machines. A VLT is a government-run electronic gaming terminal networked to a central provincial system, and you’ll find them in liquor-licensed venues like bars, lounges, taverns, pubs, and Royal Canadian Legions. ALC’s own branded VLT lounges in the province go by the name Coasters. So if you’re picturing a casino floor, that’s a different product.

You have to be 19 or older to play VLTs in New Brunswick. That’s the legal minimum, and venues are required to enforce it. Want the technical side? Our guide on how VLTs work breaks down the central system, payouts, and what sets them apart from slots.

Where to Play (and why the list keeps growing)

There’s no public VLT locator for New Brunswick, ALC doesn’t publish one, which is exactly why this finder exists. Rather than wait for a complete feed that doesn’t exist, we started with a list of venues we could confirm offer VLTs, drawn from the venues’ own listings, customer reviews, and the Dooly’s chain. So far that includes Dooly’s in Moncton, Fredericton, Saint John, and Riverview, The Mule Bar & Grill in Sussex, Lucky’s Lounge in Woodstock, and Five Bridges Bar & Grill in Riverview, across six towns and growing.

Every venue on the list has been confirmed to offer VLTs, but the list isn’t comprehensive yet, it’s a seed we keep adding to. So call ahead to check hours before you head out, and if you know a New Brunswick venue we’re missing, tell us through the contact page and we’ll look into adding it. You can also browse all provinces in the meantime.
