MONTREAL - Quebec's gaming commission faces a potentially crippling payout as gambling addicts try to hold it responsible for downplaying the dangers of video lottery terminals.
A class-action lawsuit brought by a group of pathological gamblers is seeking compensation from Loto-Quebec for their addiction treatments.
With the plaintiffs claiming around 119,000 gamblers can trace their addictions to VLTs, a judgment could cost Loto-Quebec upwards of $500 million, excluding exemplary damages.
As a settlement offer, the gaming commission should just offer the plaintiffs double or nothing on the toss, best of three.
