The BCLC is responsible for the operation, distribution, deployment and supervision of slots that are run through operational service contracts with private-sector service providers, including 15 casinos, two racecourse casinos and 18 community gaming centres, says the lawsuit. The proposed members of the class-action are anyone who paid to play line games on video slots in B.C.

The lawsuit says that Riesebos began playing video slots line games 20 years ago and has played them in B.C. “The difficulty of figuring out the odds is augmented by variable prize structures and the resulting volatility of the games that makes it impossible for the user to determine, with any accuracy, the true odds of winning during any given play session.”

Supreme Court says that unlike other regulated gambling games, video slots have hidden odds of winning and users are left guessing or inaccurately presuming their chances of winning any and all prizes. “Video slots are inherently deceptive, inherently addictive and inherently dangerous when used as intended,” claims the lawsuit. “They are a form of continuous gaming which differs from traditional mechanical slot machines, lotteries and other games of chance in that they are electronically programmed to create cognitive distortions of the perception of winning, which cognitive distortions are intended to keep the consumer engaged and losing money.” Westcoast Homes & Design Previous Issues.Vancouver Sun Run: Sign up & event info.
