VLT Central

Video Lottery was introduced in the State of Ohio in 2012 when Governor John Kasich signed Executive Order 2011-22K, which authorized the Lottery to amend and adopt rules necessary to implement a video lottery program at Ohio’s seven (7) horse racing facilities. The Ohio Lottery is responsible for licensing of video lottery sales agents (VLSA), their employees, and manufacturers and distributors of video lottery terminals. The team is responsible for the collection and disbursement of VLT revenue, as well as compliance with Lottery rules and regulations, operating standards, and minimum internal controls. The Ohio Lottery receives the proceeds from the video lottery terminal income less a commission paid to the VLSA.
