What is Illinois Gaming and how can you profit from it?
Video gaming terminals, commonly referred to as VGTs, are multi-game slot machines substantially similar to those found on the boats. Each VGT offers a variety of different popular and proven games including video poker and slot games. Players can wager as little as $.01 to as much as $4.00 per spin, and can win up to $1,199 per spin. Each VGT is connected to a centralized computer system monitored by Scientific Games (SciGames), who implements and administers a Central Communications System (CCS) in conjunction with the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB).
The Terminal Operator
The terminal operator is responsible for placing VGTs in licensed establishments. 777 is proud to be one of the finest terminal operators licensed in the state of Illinois. 777 Gaming LLC provides and maintains the VGTs at no cost to the establishment and manages all cash handling, including customer payouts for winnings via an automated kiosk payout device. This eliminates the need for employees to handle cash transactions. The VGTs we install are made by nationally recognized slot manufacturers including Bally, Spielo, LGT, and WMS.

Revenue Share
Specifies how the gaming income is to be split between the state of Illinois, the local municipality, the licensed establishment and the terminal operator.
