Having grown up in that general area, there are about 10 pubs closer to Filos then the Deerfoot Casino is. I know that Brewsters in Bonavista is likely closer to Filos then the casino and they have VLT's...I'm betting a couple other ones of those 10 or so have them too.
Kilt and Caber in McKenzie has VLT's too.
Now, maybe all these mentioned VLT places are in the lawsuit, who knows, but if not, Filos has little leg to stand on in an already weak argument, with other VLT establishments adapting and abiding the law. They're likely losing business because they're a dreary hole in the wall, while the other 2 pubs also down in Deer Valley aren't (as much).
Fantastic to go out to the bar or pub the last couple weeks...I don't notice the smoke difference while there, but don't have that hangover and stinky clothes when I get out of there.
