In accordance with a constitutional amendment, voters in Arkansas approved the construction of four casinos in 2018. Despite the fact that three resorts had already been constructed, a protracted legal dispute surrounded the license for the fourth casino. This happened after Cherokee Nation Business and Legends Resort and Casino, a company established by the Cherokee Nation, worked together to obtain a license for the fourth location.
Given the Arkansas Supreme Court's recent ruling, it seems likely that this concludes the legal dispute. This would require the state's gambling regulator to grant the Pope County casino a new license.
