A lot of folks in Arkansas are putting their chips in on the wide variety of sports betting, with wagers totaling a record $21.18 million in September, well above the previous record of $12.6 million in June, according to the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA).
Sports wagers may be placed at the state’s three casinos or through apps offered by each casino. The individual must be in Arkansas in order for the apps to accept wagers. Saracen Casino in Pine Bluff led with a total of $10.48 million wagered on sports in September, with $9.54 million of that wagered on Saracen’s app, according to the DFA. The other casinos are Southland in West Memphis and Oaklawn in Hot Springs. A casino approved for Pope County (Russellville) has been delayed by years of lawsuits.
