Illinois has emerged as a powerhouse in the video gaming terminal (VGT) industry. Since the legalization of VGTs in 2009 and the first machines going live in 2012, the market has seen explosive growth. With over 8,000 licensed establishments and more than 45,000 machines across the state as of 2025, Illinois boasts the largest video gaming market in the country outside of Nevada.
The decentralized nature of Illinois’ video gaming structure—where privately owned establishments host terminals provided by licensed terminal operators—has opened doors for local entrepreneurs and major gaming operators alike. But standing out in this increasingly competitive space requires more than just machines and licenses; it demands innovation, partnership, and an unrelenting focus on client success.
Lucky Lincoln Gaming has become a name synonymous with success in Illinois' VGT space. As a licensed terminal operator, the company partners with bars, restaurants, truck stops, and fraternal organizations to bring best-in-class video gaming experiences to players across the state.
