Arkansas’ casinos booked a combined net win of $177.8 million for the first quarter of 2024, up a little less than $1 million when compared to the same quarter a year ago, with the state’s largest operation saying a bridge closure hurt its bottom line for the quarter.

West Memphis’ Southland Casino had the highest new win for the January through March period with $84.1 million but its take was down slightly from $84.4 million a year ago, according to information provided by the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration. Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort in Hot Springs had a total win of $47 million for the first quarter, up from $46 million a year ago.
