Video Lottery Terminals Disabled Due to Covid-19 Concerns

In compliance with Governor Brown’s recent executive order on social distancing, Oregon Lottery is disabling play on its statewide network of Video Lottery terminals, effective at 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, 2020.

Video Lottery terminals will be disabled until further notice. Terminals will remain in the field and Lottery staff will continue providing scheduled maintenance.

We know this action prompts many questions, and are working to address some of the questions we’ve heard thus far in a Q&A we will post tomorrow on the retailer page of our website. As new questions come in, we’ll do our best to add them – along with answers – to the running list.

As the public health situation continues to evolve, we can’t say for sure what the future holds. We can say that Lottery will work hard to support our retailer partners as best we can during this challenging time.
