The state of Georgia is not exactly a gambler’s paradise. A very conservative state aside from Atlanta and a couple other “blue” pockets, the only legal gambling to be found down here is the state lottery. There has been a gradual strengthening of support for added gaming in the state, though, and in the last couple years, some legislators have pushed to legalize casino gambling. To nobody’s surprise, the bills that would have authorized “resort-style” gambling died early last year, but it appears that some lawmakers will have another go at it in 2017, and possibly soon.
