Atlanta has a metro area population of 5 million, so some attempt to tap into that market is not unreasonable. Award a single racing license for the area after inviting bids. Require the winning entity to build a network of OTBS. Once certain thresholds for a purse account are met, then require the license holder to construct a track and operate a short meet. If the purse thresholds are not met within a certain period, then the exclusive license expires and others are allowed to enter the OTB market. Atlanta horseplayers get OTBs and Georgia gets its tax revenue.
