The Arkansas Racing Commission on Monday voted to open a new 30-day application period for the state’s fourth and final casino.
Commissioners decided at Monday’s meeting that both a digital and paper copy of applications for the Pope County casino license must be submitted by June 11. A statewide notice will be published in Sunday’s newspaper, and May 13 will be the first day the commission office will be open to accept applications.
Per new rules drafted by the commission and approved by lawmakers last month, the commission must meet to formally close the application period, so commissioners voted to meet on June 12 to fulfill that requirement.
