Oaklawn seems to have benefited from them. They have renovated one end of the clubhouse a couple of times so that they could accommodate more machines. They started out as HRTs, but they pretty much have morphed to plain old slot machines now. I can't tell the difference. Arkansas might be a bit different than a lot of places though. Oaklawn pretty much has a monopoly here. They also have these machines in West Memphis at the dog track, but Oaklawn is more centrally located and probably pulls in a lot of people who vacation here and some who have houses on the lakes. The dog track is next to a more populous area just outside of Memphis, but they are in direct competition with the riverboat casinos about a half hour south of Memphis.
