Arkansas Poker Lounge to Open
This is exciting news for many of us who live and play poker in the mid southeast. I play mostly at the Gold Strike and the Horseshoe in Tunica, Mississippi, which means that the new Arkansas poker lounge will be well within driving distance. However, we may be able to expect some legal battles ahead.
Link - The state's first ever dedicated poker lounge is set to open this weekend even though the Little Rock city attorney says it's illegal.
An organization called National Poker Challenge is opening a franchise on Rodney Parham Road. The organization, based in Memphis, will open its Little Rock location officially on Saturday.
They say it’s legal because they don't charge people to play poker. But they do charge if you want your wins and losses tracked and recorded. The city attorney says that makes it gambling.
