How It Works
In the Illinois video gaming market, all participants must be licensed, including manufacturers, distributors, and VGT operators managing machines at host bars and restaurants. Each licensed establishment must partner with a licensed VGT operator, and every licensed machine must remain connected to the state's central communications network.

Profit Distribution:

  • Operators cover 100% of all capital costs.
  • After taxes, profits are split 50/50 between the operator and the host.

How Will a Vgt Operator Help Grow My Business?
Our commitment extends beyond installing and activating your machines. Lattner Entertainment continuously monitors machine payouts to align with your customers' entertainment preferences. We'll create ongoing, integrated marketing programs to attract new patrons and retain existing ones.

If you hold a valid liquor or pouring license, apply today to become a licensed host establishment! Lattner Entertainment will assist with the application, licensing, and installation processes, and collaborate with you on a marketing strategy to drive and maintain customer engagement with this new entertainment option.

How Much Am I Going to Make?
Projections suggest daily wins per unit (WPU) can range from $60 to over $150, potentially totaling up to $136,875 annually for your establishment. While WPU depends on various factors, Lattner Entertainment will work with you to ensure the optimal machine mix for your venue. We will strategically add machines based on proven success to maximize your results.

When Do I Have to Choose an Operator?
Right Now - but do your homework. Not all VGT operators are the same. You want to choose an operator that has integrity, knowledge, and a proven track record for success. Your Lattner Account Manager will walk you through the entire process of licensing, and continue to do so long after the “Go LIVE”. Contact us today to “get in the game”!
