Georgia Senate committee advances casino and sports betting amendment
Georgia’s Senate Economic Development and Tourism Committee advanced proposed constitutional amendment SR 538, which would legalise sports betting and land-based casino gambling, reportedly. The proposal would require approval by the General Assembly, the governor and voters; it would allow five casino licences and set a 13% tax on adjusted gross revenue for casinos.
The proposal could reshape Georgia’s gambling market, but it still requires legislative, gubernatorial and voter approval.
