This week the casino at Oaklawn in Hot Springs began accepting bets of sporting events.
Gamblers will be able to wager on everything from professional golf to NASCAR races and from college football to Olympic events.
Gambling on sports is just a bad idea all around. Athletes already face enough pressure as it is. Nothing good is going to come of it if fans have big money riding on whether or not a 20-year-old college quarterback can throw a touchdown pass.
Interestingly, since becoming a full-fledged casino, Oaklawn has re-branded several of its so-called “electronic games of skill.”
Up until this year, the racetracks in Hot Springs and West Memphis let people gamble on electronic games that, in theory, required some level of skill to play and win.
In 2007 Family Council Action Committee filed a lawsuit over the “electronic games of skill.” Attorneys for Oaklawn and Southland assured people that even though these electronic games looked a lot like casino games, they really weren’t.
Fast-forward to 2019. Now that Oaklawn and Southland can offer casino games, some of these “electronic games of skill” from years past apparently are being re-designated as slot machines.
For example, Oaklawn has offered games like Willy Wonka Pure Imagination and Zeus: Son of Kronos since at least 2017. Once upon a time these were electronic games of skill. Now Oaklawn’s website lists them as slot games.

Phase 2 of our exciting expansion project continues. Here are a few changes you'll notice in the upcoming months:
- The expanded casino is still on schedule to open in January/February, with an additional 28,000 square feet of even more thrilling slots, exciting table games, and a beautiful new high limits area.
- The main entrance/exit is now located directly across from Sonic on Central Avenue.
- The parking area near the casino is smaller now because the construction area has grown larger. Of course, this is temporary but necessary for the safety of all our guests.
- A NEW parking lot south of the casino has been added, giving you a sneak preview of how the remaining lot will look when completed. We will continue to have plenty of shuttles patrolling the parking lot for your convenience.
- The brand new Track Kitchen, as well as six (6) new barns are almost complete and will be ready for the arrival of horses by late November.
- The hotel tower, which is nearing the 8th floor, will be enclosed before the start of live racing to minimize noise disruption while the horses are on the grounds.
