Gaming Machines In Convenience Stores
Just wondered what every bodys opinion on these machines were. Around here you put you money in and a coupon for a phone card and then play,3 reel,5 reel, 8 line and keno type games you can touch to play on the screen. I usually put $5 in and win $10-$15...from everything I have read I cant figure out what exactly makes the difference between legal and illegal. I enjoy these machines every so often but dont want to be doing anything illegal. The store I stop at every so often has 3 different types of these machines and several times a day you can see 3-4 city and county police officers sitting 5 feet from the machines having coffee and dont seem at all concerned about.
What does everyone think-like them or no...legal or illegal and could I get into trouble for playing them??

What C-Store Operators Need to Know By Hannah Prokop on Oct. 02, 2019 ATLANTA — People have been gambling in convenience stores 'since day one,' Brian Wente said. Video gaming is just the electronic version of the lottery, said Wente, vice president of retail operations and marketing for Vernon Hills, Ill.-based Graham Enterprise Inc. The CGU is tasked with enforcing Georgia’s commercial gambling laws as they relate to the Coin Operated Amusement Machines (COAM) seen in convenience stores and other businesses around the state. The machines can be legally housed in these businesses as long as they are properly licensed through the Georgia Lottery. The proposal would legalize “video gaming terminals” in restaurants licensed by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority, as well as truck stops and — under an amendment insisted upon by the subcommittee — convenience stores. The justices' March 21 decision invalidated a City of Clarkston ordinance that aimed to keep the touch-screen versions of old one-armed bandits out of convenience stores. The machines in the case are the ones that are a little smaller than an old arcade game and offer match-em-up games. Prizes can be paid out in store merchandise, but not cash.
