An Arkansas casino is looking to double down on its gaming options through a request to state regulators.
Saracen Casino Resort marketing manager Carlton Saffa has written to state Racing Commission chairman Alex Lieblong asking for a rule change. Currently, an Arkansas casino is allowed to offer online sports betting, but games such as slots, blackjack and craps must be played in the casino.
If the racing commission approves Saffa’s request, all three existing Arkansas casinos would be able to offer this expanded online gaming. In his letter, Saffa asserts that casinos are currently able to offer online poker and card games and is asking the commission to add other already authorized games.
