Arkansas is rich in illegal clubs history. They had many illegals.
No need for me to research Arkansas history as the Arkansas boys have done a great job of it. Only a couple cases of "The cop with a box of chips" from a raid story. They had to keep up with the Texas and KY boys.
Chris Hendrix's web site is well worth visiting.

Wayne Threadgill did a great job on his book "Gambling In The Spa." Lots of pictures.
I highly reccomend it.

There is no doubt in my mind that FDR spent some time in Hot Springs illegal casinos.
I have 4 different of the Ohio Club chips, 2 with denoms. As you can see there are others.
