"According to the Arkansas Racing Commission, electronic games of skill (EGS) wagers at Oaklawn totaled $476.27 million in the first five months of 2013." Mississippi gambling down 13.5% in 2013 while Arkansas rose 20%.

We are taking money from other states finally! We did it to Missouri on the lottery and now doing it to Mississippi in gambling. Millions are estimated for the counties, the state and added purses to both race tracks drawing in new customers to spend money in our state.
Last but not least.. Fort Smith, doing what my home town does best..

The people who cannot afford to are often the people who frequent these places, then get taxpayer subsidies for thier poor lifestyle choices.
Debt at an all time high, 25 year olds living at hone, low savings, this will all come crashing down soon. Not sure why you are so proud of these places? Burn me all down IMO.

Winchell said she’s not sure anybody in Fort Smith’s city government even wants to know those statistics.
Damn, head is all buried deep in the sand in the Fort.

That surprises me- I've only been in Oaklawn's casino a few times but was never that impressed. Probably because the games were weird and had a horse race thing associated with them. But out of 4 of us who went last time I was the only one who got carded and I was 40- that's something I won't forget to rub in.

Hot Springs should cut the foreplay and just allow casinos.
