How placement works
Tell us about your venue.

State limits, your city or county's COAM and alcohol rules, and the operator's own requirements. If something rules your venue out, we tell you.
We recommend a licensed operator.
We tell you which operator we recommend, with their license number, and get your OK before they contact you.
Agreement and location license.
You sign with the operator, the licensed master licensee, not with us. They help you apply for your Georgia Lottery Class B location license.
Install, redeem, service.
The operator installs the machines, sets up redemption and trains your staff, then services the equipment.
What every operator we introduce does
- Supplies and installs the machines.
- Helps you apply for your Class B location license.
- Services and repairs the equipment.
- Sets up prize redemption and trains your staff.
The 2026 rules, without the fine print
- Up to nine Class B machines per location. Some cities allow fewer. Savannah, Perry, Lilburn and Powder Springs cap it at six. (GLC)
- The split is fixed. 43.5% to the location, 43.5% to the master licensee and 13% to the state. (Lottery for Education Act)
- Prizes, never cash. Since July 1, 2026, Class B prizes are limited to replays, Georgia Lottery products and gift cards. (GLC notice)
- The 50% rule. Your share of machine revenue can't be more than 50% of the location's quarterly gross retail receipts. (O.C.G.A. § 50-27-84, GLC notice)
- No sign-on gifts. Georgia law prohibits operators from offering locations cash, bonuses or other inducements, so be wary of anyone who does. (O.C.G.A. § 50-27-87.1)

What machines earn, honestly
In fiscal year 2026, Georgia's machines averaged $108.34 in net revenue per machine per day (GLC FY2026 financial statements). At the location's 43.5% share, that average works out to about $47 per machine per day. That's an average across tens of thousands of machines. Yours could be well above or below it, and nobody can promise a number. Location, foot traffic, hours and the number of machines all matter.
Who you're dealing with
COAM Placement is a placement service. We are not a COAM operator or master licensee. We introduce Georgia businesses to operators that hold a Georgia Lottery Class B Master License. We'll tell you which licensed operator we recommend, with their license number, and get your OK before they contact you. Before you sign, you can check the operator's license with the Georgia Lottery's COAM Division. No fee to you. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Georgia Lottery Corporation.
Common questions
Does this cost me anything?
We don't charge venues. Georgia requires each Class B location to hold a location license, and the location pays the license fee (O.C.G.A. § 50-27-71). The current fee is $125 per Class B machine each year (GLC guide).
Are these machines legal in Georgia?
Class B COAMs are legal when the location and the operator are licensed by the Georgia Lottery and the machines are run within its rules, including no cash prizes. Casino slot machines and cash payouts are illegal.
How many machines can I have?
Up to nine Class B machines under state rules, fewer where a city or county sets a lower cap, and possibly fewer under the 50% rule. We check your location before anyone visits.
Will I be locked into a long contract?
Agreement terms are set by the operator, and you'll see them before you sign. Read the agreement carefully, and consider having an attorney review it.
I already have machines. Can you help?
If your current agreement is ending, tell us when. We don't approach locations that are under an active agreement, and we won't encourage anyone to break one.
Who will I be working with?
A Class B operator licensed by the Georgia Lottery, that serves your area and type of business. We'll tell you which operator we recommend and get your OK before they contact you. Before you sign, you can check the operator's license with the Georgia Lottery's COAM Division.
