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.[1][2]
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.[1]
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.[1][2]
