From 2004-06, Atlantic Lottery was named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers, as published in Maclean's magazine.

The Charlottetown Driving Park Entertainment Centre (now the Red Shores Racetrack and Casino) first opened their doors in 2005, offering harness racing, a gaming floor and a restaurant.

In 2017, a class action lawsuit was initiated in Newfoundland and Labrador against the ALC claiming the Video Lottery Terminals it operates in the province deceive players into thinking they can win over the long term.

[5] ALC's decision to implement an online casino for Nova Scotia in 2021 following a similar initiative in New Brunswick in 2020 was criticized by a Halifax counsellor specializing in gambling addiction, who told the CBC that, "the perceived legitimacy of the website being endorsed by the government" could lead to more use, noting that there was a moratorium and planned phaseout of physical VLTs in the province at the same time the virtual ones were being launched.

[6] In 2022, journalists from King's College's journalism program produced a investigative series about the continuing harm from VLTs in Nova Scotia, where the Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation acknowledges one in ten VLT users are problem gamblers.

Red Shores' Summerside location offers a gaming floor with 30 VLT machines.
