Casino gaming is, at present, not permitted in the State of Georgia. Indeed, some commentators have gone as far as to categorize Georgia as one of the three least gambling-friendly states in the nation. Yet, others believe that Georgia’s casino-gaming prohibition may soon come to an end. In fact, some legislators and commentators are of the belief that 2017 may be the year during which Georgia is added to the ever-growing list of states that permit and perhaps encourage casino gaming.
