Kansas
TOPEKA - A sole proposal was submitted to the Kansas Lottery on the deadline
Monday for a casino in southeast Kansas. It would be a $225 million casino about
one mile north of Interstate 44 near the Oklahoma border in southeast Cherokee
County. It would feature 900 slot machines and 30 game tables.
The plan was submitted by Ozark Trail Gaming LLC, a group that includes former
Wichita Mayor Bob Knight. It was the first porposal since Penn National Gaming
withdrew theirs in September 2008 citing competition from the Downstream Casino
opened in July 2008 just across the Oklahoma boarder.
Bob Knight believes that two casinos in that area woulc benefit each other by
drawing more gamblers and tourists to the area. "It's viewed as a very, very
difficult project," he said. "Some are looking at that as a glass half empty.
Our view is that it's at least a glass half full."
The Lottery Commission has until January 19th to negotiate a contract with Ozark
Trail. If successful, the contract will be sent to the state review board for
final review and approval.
