Georgia could see up to four casino resorts under legislation approved by a state House committee on Thursday.
The Regulated Industries Committee overwhelmingly approved both a constitutional amendment that would ask voters to allow the casinos and a separate bill that would dictate where they could locate, how they would operate and how revenue would be spent.
House Resolution 807 would ask Georgia voters to amend the state constitution to legalize casinos while House Bill 677 says there could only be four in the state: Two in Metro Atlanta and two in other parts of Georgia.
