VLT's Clean Out The Poor In Nova Scotia


"Well we got all they're money now what'll we do?"

The Harpoville Post
reports that the Conservative Nova Scotia Government is starting to feel the pinch at the video gaming machines with revenues slowly grinding to a halt. The government can't figure out whether they've cleaned out the populace or no-one in Nova Scotia can afford the gas to drive down to the VTL centers to throw all their money away.

The Harpoville Post has learned that the Nova Scotia Government has seen a 10% drop in gambling revenue in the last year dropping from 200 Million to 180 Million, which has many scratching their heads and trying to think of more ways to get that money back. One way is to install VTL's directly into all Nova Scotia homes by passing a law making it manditory. Though other politicians have decided to take the wait and see approach. The Harpoville Post spoke to one such politicians who told us, "We've got to be patient and realize that every year we clean out an older generation of VLT addicts but, every year another generation of younger addicts get on board, with even greater earning potential. Plus they're still are some 7,000 addicted gamblers in Nova Scotia so, there is a lot of hope out there that we can get these numbers back up."
