Atlanta amusement-machine proposal would cap Class B machines at six per business

Atlanta's proposed amusement-machine rules would prohibit businesses from offering more than six Class B machines at one location. Ordinance 26-O-1479 remained held in the Finance/Executive Committee on Sept. 30.

Businesses offering Class B machines would face the distance restrictions applicable to package stores selling beer or wine, but not distilled spirits, under city code Section 10-88.1. Both Class A and Class B machines would have to remain in plain view and accessible to people at the business.

The draft names Jan. 1, 2027, as the proposed effective date for its amendments. The committee hold does not enact the machine cap or location restrictions.
