Revenue from neighborhood limited video lottery machines continued its strong showing in September in new financial numbers released Wednesday by the West Virginia Lottery.
LVLs have been producing increased revenues for more than a year. The uptick began in the summer of 2020 after LVL parlors were allowed to reopen after being shutdown in the early weeks of the pandemic.
The machines brought in $39.5 million in September, outpacing racetrack video lottery machines located at the five casinos operating in West Virginia.
State Lottery Director John Myers said there are several reasons LVLs are performing well including their location in smaller venues that produce smaller crowds.
