An anti-gambling organization in Nova Scotia has launched a sticker campaign touting restaurants and bars that don't have video-lottery terminals.
Game Over VLTs is offering these establishments "VLT Free" stickers to put in their windows.
The campaign highlights the more than 400 restaurants, bars and pubs that have made the decision to stay away from VLTs, said Terry Fulmer, a group spokesman.
"It actually costs them money in their pocket to make that moral judgment and moral decision to stay away from VLT machines, and stay away from what really is thievery," he said.
Fulmer hopes the sticker campaign encourages restaurant and bar owners to get rid of their VLTs.
