The Quapaw nation just bought a bunch of land in Little Rock, they will probably build a casino on it. They can do whatever they want with the land regardless of whether the state approves casinos.

Do you know where this Quapaw nation land is located?
With all of the Injun casinos that are literally steps across the state line, I don't understand why Arkansas doesn't have a few state casinos just to keep the money in-state.
Hot Springs has other attractions, so a few casinos would really make it a vacation destination. Plus, we'd get money from Texas.

It's a lot tougher to get an Indian casino into a state that doesn't allow that type of gambling already. A legal argument would have to be made that the gambling at Oaklawn is equivalent to what an Indian casino would allow. And even if that was accepted, they would still have to work out an agreement with the state. I don't see any way that the current legislature would permit that to happen.
Not to rain on anyone's parade, but the Quapaws have a hell of an uphill climb to get a casino into Arkansas.
