They want internet gambling in Arkansas!
According to KARK, the marketing manager of Saracen Casino, Carlton Saffa, has written to state Racing Commission chairman Alex Lieblong. The letter requests a change to gambling laws in Arkansas.
Gambling Law Change Requested in Arkansas
As the law is written currently, Arkansas residents can only bet on online sports. Meanwhile, games such as slots, blackjack and craps are prohibited.
Carlton Saffa wants to change this to give gamblers in Arkansas more options across the state. If this is approved, more than $20,000,000 would be raised for state coffers, with over $12 million in additional state gaming tax revenue.
And according to Saffa, those estimates only account for one year:
“Notably, all of the above estimates are projections from Saracen alone and represent only one year of full operation.”
