Casino gambling was prohibited in Arkansas until voters approved a constitutional amendment to allow four casinos in November 2018. The ballot initiative gave the Arkansas Racing Commission the authority to license and regulate casino gambling.

The first two casinos opened April 1, 2019 at Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort in Hot Springs and Southland Gaming & Racing in West Memphis.

The two remaining casino licenses were designated for new casinos in Jefferson and Pope Counties. The Arkansas Racing Commission accepted applications for both locations and licensed the Quapaw Nation of Oklahoma to build the Saracen Casino in Jefferson County. The commission also accepted the application of Gulfside Casino Partnership to build the River Valley Casino in Pope County.

The Legalization of Casino Gambling 2018

A ballot measure calling for the state to license four casinos was approved by voters in the Nov 2018 election.

The resulting constitutional amendment authorised the Arkansas Racing Commission to regulate casinos and defines casino gambling as Vegas-style gambling and sports betting.

The amendment also authorizes the new types of casino gambling to be played at racinos (racetrack and casino), where previously these track casinos could only offer electronic games of skill.

Arkansas has two existing racinos: Oaklawn Racing & Gaming in Hot Springs and Southland Gaming and Racing in West Memphis. Both Oaklawn and Southland have announced major expansion plans to build larger casinos and to add hotels.

Two new additional casinos will be licensed by the Racing Commissions bringing the total to four casinos. One will be in Jefferson County and the other in Pope County. This application process will commence when the commission finalizes its operational rules.
