Mind you we were excited to be visiting the casino but the initial abrupt hostility left me a aggravated at the unnecessary hostility and it quickly changed my mind about patronizing this establishment. I lowered my mask and made a comment that there wasn't any need for the hostility and we entered the casino. When I inquired what was what was the purpose of his request, he then continued to scream at me 'SO, I CAN SEE YOUR FACE!!!'. The reaction we had was of surprise at the sudden aggressive and hostile demeanor of the security rep. We had our masks on and were immediately denied entry to the casino by a Caucasian security representative, who instead of asking for our ID'S, screamed and demanded that we lower our masks. Now mind you there is a pandemic, and just outside the entry doors there are large signs clearly stating 'No mask, no i.d., no entrance'. That’s been my experience anyway.We just came into Hot Springs for the weekend and decided to visit Oaklawn Casino Friday 03/19/21 arriving between the hours of 11:15m-11:30pm. Just don’t go prepared to win and you may be surprised to come out ahead! There’s usually no happy medium as far as winning goes-either ya lose it all or win big. I’m not sure of the schedule, but a lot of times Oaklawn has live music that’s always really good & does a lot for the atmosphere while you’re playing. The Bistro also has great breakfast type food, among other things and it seems like a good deal, too. Staff is always very friendly and the sweet tea is just fabulous in the Bistro. Unlike some of their competitors in the surrounding states. It seems like they are trying to listen to what their customers want,

They are CONSTANTLY adding new machines and changing things up. Sometimes it’s awesome, sometimes not so much BUT they seem to be a work in progress. Obviously Oaklawn hosts the horse races every year from January to April, but they also have a casino now, too. UPDATE NOV 18, 2018: Undergoing huge remodeling project at their customers expense of course.
