In Québec, video lottery terminals are operated in bars, brasseries and taverns, to which access is restricted to individuals aged 18 and over. A number of different games are offered on two terminal models equipped with touch screens. Credits earned are reimbursed by way of a reimbursement coupon.
The average age of the typical video lottery player is 37.
Men make up slightly more than 60% of clients.
More than 90% of players go to bars above all to meet people, and take advantage of the opportunity to play video lottery with friends. Most play for fun, not to win.
Three-fourths of players state that they set a budget for themselves before starting to play and the majority say they remain within it.
