An Arkansas lawmaker wants to make a change to the Natural State’s gambling laws. Sen. Bryan King (R-Green Forest) filed a joint resolution earlier this year to “amend Arkansas 32 Constitution, Amendment 100, concerning casino gaming.”
That’s as detailed as the resolution goes, the Natural State currently regulates three legal online sportsbooks and four land-based casinos. iGaming is not legal.
One operator is looking to change that. The Saracen Casino Resort in Pine Bluff has reportedly wanted to discuss online gaming with the Arkansas Racing Commission. Saracen even began developing a prospective app.
“It would exactly mirror what we did with sports betting,” Carlton Saffa, Saracen Casino’s chief marketing officer, told KATV in September 2024.
