Find Your Favourite Georgia Casino Resorts 2025

Georgia, or The Peach State as it is known, is famous for its southern cuisine, beautiful landscapes, sports, music and for some sports fans, golf, with Augusta being the home of the annual Masters Tournament.

However, what Georgia isn’t known for is gambling and casinos and that’s due to its legislation.  In fact, Georgia has some of the strictest gambling laws in the US.

The Georgia General Assembly has considered several legislative attempts to legalize casino gambling over the years, however nothing has passed. The latest bill to allow sports betting failed in March 2025.

As it stands most forms of gambling are illegal including casinos, sports betting, online casinos, horse racing betting and even private home gaming if money is exchanged.

The only form of gambling allowed is the Georgia Lottery, charitable raffles and coin operated amusement machines that don’t award cash prizes.

In other states, where state laws prohibit casinos, Native American tribes have been able to step in and build casinos due to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. However, in Georgia there are no federally recognized tribes.

Georgia Casino Resorts 

Because Georgia does not allow any casinos in state, gamblers who still want to experience the thrill of casinos need to go elsewhere to find it. Here are a few casinos that you can travel to: 

• Emerald Princess Casino – Ok so its not a land-based casino, but it is a floating casino that is based offshore in Georgia. The 400 passenger cruise sails Thursday to Sunday from Brunswick and for $25 per person you can enjoy the on board casino including 250 slots, live table games including roulette, blackjack, craps and poker. 
• North Carolina – There are three tribal casinos in North Carolina that are close enough to visit from Georgia. Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort, Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino and Catawba Two Kings Casino are all good sized casinos with a large range of slots and table games. 
• Alabama – There are three casino resorts in Alabama within driving distance of Georgia - Wind Creek Atmore, Wind Creek Montgomery and Wind Creek Wetumpka are all tribal casinos offering slots, table games, electronic games and poker.
• Tennessee, Florida and Mississippi – Although a little further away, there are large casino resorts based in all three states that are worth travelling for. Gold Strike Casino Resort (TN), Beau Rivage Resort and Casino (MS) and the Seminole Hard Rock Casino Hotels (FL) are all mega-resorts with quality casino action.

More Than Gambling

Georgia is a great place to visit, even without casinos, here’s a few things you can enjoy while in the area. 

• Atlanta Attractions – As the capital city, Atlanta has a huge amount of attractions that include Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, CNN Studio Tour and Atlanta Botanical Garden
• Sports – Visit the Mercedes-Benz Stadium to catch an NFL Falcons or MLS Atlanta UFC game or you can watch a UGA Bulldogs or Atlanta Braves game. Golf fans will definitely want to check out Augusta National Golf Club
• Outdoor Adventures – Visit Stone Mountain Park where you can take a cable car to the top and watch the nightly laser show or ride the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway for spectacular views. Walk across a 1,000 ft high suspension bridge at Tallulah Gorge State Park or if you’re feeling really brave kayak or take a boat tour through alligator-filled waters Okefenokee Swamp.
• Try the local food – While you’re in Georgia you have to taste some of the specialty foods such as peach cobbler & fresh peaches, fried chicken & Southern BBQ and boiled peanuts & pecan pie 

Important Considerations

It is considered a crime to place any form of sports bet or casino wager in Georgia so be aware of any illegal gambling operators that you may come across.
