How much do gas station slot machines make in Georgia?

We haven't found a verified figure for gas stations alone. What's fixed is the store's share: 43.5 percent of net revenue from its Class B COAMs, the licensed machines people call slots, whose prizes are non-cash (Lottery for Education Act; GLC notice).

How is the store's share set?

By law. Net receipts split 43.5 percent to the location, 43.5 percent to the master licensee and 13 percent to the Georgia Lottery (Lottery for Education Act). Net means what's left after prizes. No operator can offer a store a bigger share, so be wary of anyone who says otherwise.

Is there an average?

Only a statewide one. In fiscal year 2026, Georgia's machines averaged $108.34 in net revenue per machine per day (GLC FY2026 financial statements). At a 43.5 percent share, that's about $47 per machine per day. It covers every kind of location, not gas stations alone, so treat it as an average and not a prediction. Traffic, hours, machine count and nearby competition all move the number.

How does the 50% rule limit a store?

A location can't derive more than 50 percent of its quarterly gross retail receipts from Class B machines (O.C.G.A. § 50-27-84; GLC notice). So a store with small sales can't lean on machines to make up the difference. Fuel sales count toward retail receipts, under the statute's "sale of goods and services" wording. If fuel sales fall, the same machine revenue becomes a bigger share, so stores near a cheaper competitor watch this most. See the 50% rule, explained, with a checker for your numbers.

What comes out of the store's share?

Your annual location license fee of $125 per Class B machine (GLC guide), the cost of the prizes your location provides, and your taxes. Ask your accountant how machine revenue fits your books, and keep machine records separate from your store sales (GLC notice).

Are they worth it for my store?

That depends on your traffic, your floor space and your sales, and nobody can promise a number. Send us your store details and we'll check your local rules first. See our page for gas stations and convenience stores for what else to plan for.
