Lastly, Arcade Arkansas Seeks Support for Expanded Gambling Machines
Arkansas offers three casinos and three pari-mutuel racetracks as part of its legal casino gambling platform. An outside group named Arcade Arkansas is seeking to expand this base with slot-like gambling machines. They gained permission to canvass the state with petitions for a constitutional amendment. This would allow the expansion of the coin-operated amusement machines. Players would build up points that could be used for merchandise and lottery tickets. Proceeds would support the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery with a 20 percent tax. Points would not be redeemable for cash. They could not be traded for the purchase of alcohol or tobacco products.
