On December 7, 2000, this court granted the motion by the State of Arkansas, appellee, by and through its attorney, James R. Gowen, Jr., for an extension of time to file its response to appellant, Slots, Inc.’s, petition for rehearing. On review, we consider the State’s motion to be appropriate and timely under Ark. S. Ct. R. 2-3. On this court’s own motion, we vacate our December 7, 2000 per curiam opinion and substitute this opinion in its stead.
