AGLC suspends Alberta purchases of gaming machines without local support
Alberta’s AGLC issued a directive on 6 March suspending purchases of slot machines, video lottery terminals and other gaming machines unless suppliers have support services in Alberta or a country with which Canada has a free trade agreement. The directive follows US tariffs on Canadian goods, while Canada has announced plans for retaliatory tariffs.
The directive may affect gaming-equipment suppliers that cannot meet its support-service or trade conditions.
