COAM is an acronym for Coin Operated Amusement Machine. There are two types of COAMs in Georgia (Class A and Class B) which are defined by Georgia statute.
A Class A license is for the operation of COAMs that do not allow a player to carry over points won on one play to a subsequent play or plays. Some examples of Class A COAMs are kiddie rides, skeeball, claw machines, pinball games, typical arcade games, pool tables that accept coins or bills, and jukeboxes.
