What are video gaming terminals?

Video gaming terminals (VGTs) are electronic gambling machines licensed by state gaming boards. Eligible establishments (bars, restaurants, truck stops, fraternal organizations) may operate terminals depending on state law. Revenue is typically split between the establishment, terminal operator, and state/local government.
