In accordance with the Manitoba Public Health Order, Manitoba’s VLT network will reopen on Saturday, July 17.

VLT opening hours will be from 9:00 am to 12:15 am daily.
 
It is the VLT siteholder’s choice to open their business, and they may have different operating hours that fall within the allowed VLT opening hours.
 
VLT siteholders are required to follow the Public Health order and related guidelines.

How to Play

A video lottery terminal, or VLT, is very similar to a slot machine that you would find in a casino. There are three types of games to try. Everyone has their favourite – what’s yours?

• Spinning reel: match up symbols like cherries across the screen. Place a larger bet to win when symbols line up in other patterns, like diagonally. These are called pay lines. Many games offer bonus rounds.
• Poker: If you enjoy playing poker with friends or at the casino, these games are for you! Special features include wild cards, beat the house double up and more depending on the version you play.
• Keno: select between 2-10 of your favourite numbers on a board of 1-80 and let the fun begin! Will your selected numbers be among 20 numbers randomly drawn? Your win is based on the number of your selections that are drawn. Bonus features are available.

Here in Manitoba, VLTs accept coins and bills. When you cash out after playing, your VLT will print a ticket that you redeem through VLT lounge staff. Tickets may be redeemed for up to 7 days at the location of printing.
