The Arkansas Racing Commission this week said gamblers wagered $29.7 million on Oaklawn Park's "electronic games of skill" last month. The commission reports that the track paid out $28 million in prizes.

More than $18 million had been wagered on the games in July 2008, according to the commission.

A West Memphis greyhound track also reported positive news. Southland Gaming and Racing gained $36.3 million in wagers last month, and only paid out $33.3 million.

Lawmakers in 2005 voted to allow Hot Springs and West Memphis to hold elections on electronic gaming machines at the towns' race tracks. Voters in both cities approved the games, overwhelmingly.
