Court certifies class action lawsuit against Atlantic Lottery Corp.
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — A Newfoundland judge has certified a class action lawsuit against the Atlantic Lottery Corporation that alleges VLT line games are designed to deceive players.
The class action involves an estimated 30,000 players of line games on video lottery terminals in Newfoundland and Labrador.
“These games have been cheating Newfoundlanders for many years,” said Doug Babstock of St. John’s, one of the representative plaintiffs.
Ches Crosbie, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said the Atlantic Lottery Corporation deceptively generates tens of millions of dollars from VLTs every year.
