COAM machines for Georgia truck stops

Yes. Truck stops can hold a Class B location license. A location owner is "an owner or operator of a business where one or more" machines are available for play by the public, and a business location can be "any structure, vehicle, or establishment" (O.C.G.A. §§ 50-27-70 and 50-27-84). The named prohibitions are nudity and retail sale of distilled spirits, so a truck stop that also sells liquor by the package should ask first (GLC guide).

Your share of machine revenue can't be more than 50 percent of your quarterly gross retail receipts (O.C.G.A. § 50-27-84). Gross retail receipts means revenue from the sale of goods and services at that location.

Fuel sales count toward retail receipts. If fuel sales fall, the same machine revenue becomes a bigger share, so stores near a cheaper competitor watch this most. One thing to settle for a truck stop: goods you sell on someone else's behalf, where you earn only a percentage, count differently. The statute leaves that revenue out and counts only what you earn on it. So if a large part of your sales works that way, get your numbers checked. Try the 50% rule checker.

The same as anywhere: replays, lottery products or gift cards, redeemed at your location, and never cash (GLC notice). Prizes are redeemed on-site, so a player who has moved on can't redeem at another stop unless the prize is a Georgia Lottery product (O.C.G.A. § 16-12-35). Gift cards are issued on site, from a kiosk or from a small countertop unit that staff use. See how prize redemption works.
