As instructed by the Alberta government, Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis will stop buying any gaming terminals from US providers, including slot machines and VLTs.
It comes after the 25% trade tax imposed by US President Donald Trump on all trade with Canada, which is scheduled to take effect in April.
“The AGLC will give preference to procurements from companies that provide support services in Alberta, Canada, or with nations with which it has free trade agreements,” the AGLC stated.
At this point, AGLC’s Gaming Division will continue to operate in relation to the acquisition of auxiliary support goods for slot machine and VLT parts as well as our leasing network.

Furthermore, AGLC is still dedicated to providing top-notch technical and regulatory assistance across all gaming networks without any service disruptions.
According to Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, Alberta purchases about 4,000 VLTs annually, which accounts for 4% of all sales in the US and Canada.
Last year, about 15,000 slots were sold in Canada, accounting for 16% of all sales in the US and Canada.
According to Eilers, IGT has a nearly 45 percent market share in Canada, followed by Light & Wonder (20 percent), Aristocrat (18 percent), Konami (6 percent), and AGS, Ainsworth, and Everi (3 percent).
