They seem to have all the casinos in the middle and Southern part of the state. The closest to the Ozarks is a 4 hour drive. And that's not in Arkansas it's in TN! Arkansas is an interesting state, in a strange kind of way. There were originally supposed to be four casinos.

"In November 2024, Arkansas voters approved a constitutional amendment that repealed the fourth license and removed the Pope County casino from the constitution’s casino provisions. This was a vote by Arkansas residents — not a regulatory “withholding” — and it overrode the award to Cherokee Nation Entertainment. The state’s official casino count is now three."

Cherokee Nation Entertainment has not appealed, its lawsuit was dismissed in August 2025, and the Pope County license remains revoked under Amendment 104.
