Why Choose Lattner as Your Illinois VGT Operator?
Lattner Entertainment Group is an Illinois video gaming terminal operator serving bars, restaurants, truck stops, fraternal & veterans organizations, hotels, and other licensed establishments throughout the state. With decades of experience in legal bar and tavern gaming, Lattner helps business owners navigate the video gaming terminal (VGT) process from licensing and gaming area setup to service, reporting, marketing support, and long-term revenue growth.
Choosing a VGT operator is about more than adding video gaming machines or slot machines to your business. It is about choosing a partner with the experience, financial strength, equipment knowledge, service team, and account management support to help your location succeed.
As part of Boyd Gaming Corporation, Lattner brings additional strength, stability, and industry knowledge to Illinois route gaming, giving licensed establishments confidence that they are working with an experienced and well-supported video gaming partner.
Dedicated VGT Account Managers for Your Location
With Lattner, every location works one-on-one with an experienced Account Manager who understands Illinois video gaming and the day-to-day needs of licensed establishments. Your Account Manager helps guide you through licensing, setting up your gaming area, reviewing performance reports, understanding market trends, and identifying ways to help optimize your location’s revenue after your video gaming terminals are live.
Our Account Managers are not just salespeople. They are long-term partners who stay involved before, during, and after installation.

Illinois Gaming Board Licensing and Compliance Guidance
Getting started with video gaming in Illinois requires more than choosing machines. Business owners must understand licensing, Illinois Gaming Board requirements, local rules, compliance responsibilities, and the steps needed before terminals can go live. Lattner helps locations work through the process with practical guidance, clear communication, and support from an experienced team.
Lattner can help business owners better understand Illinois video gaming license requirements, the Illinois video gaming license application process, and the important steps that must be completed before VGT machines can be installed and activated.
Our goal is to help each partner avoid confusion, stay informed, and move through the Illinois VGT process as smoothly as possible.
Reliable VGT Service and Support
Service matters because a video gaming terminal that is out of service is not generating revenue. Lattner provides responsive support from a knowledgeable service team that understands the importance of keeping your machines live, your gaming area running smoothly, and your customers engaged.
Our support continues after installation with regular communication, performance reviews, reporting, and guidance designed to help your location make the most of its VGT partnership.

Buying, installing, and operating video gaming equipment requires significant capital. Lattner has the financial strength to invest in industry-leading video gaming terminals, support fast installation, and provide the service and resources your location needs to get live and stay competitive.
That strength helps us support licensed establishments with the equipment, layout guidance, reporting, and long-term partnership needed for a successful gaming operation.
Weekly Electronic Revenue Payments
Cash flow is important for every business. Lattner pays locations weekly by electronic funds transfer, giving your business a reliable and convenient way to receive its share of video gaming revenue without waiting for checks in the mail.
