Cherokee County casino deadline passes with no bids
January 20, 2010
Kansas suffered another setback in its plan to own four regional casinos when no
applications for Cherokee County were submitted before the deadline expired last
week.
Only the Boot Hill Casino in Dodge City has opened for business. Two other
casinos are approved and in development for Ford and Wyandotte counties. The
fourth casino for Cherokee County has no takers.
Penn National Gaming was awarded the original contract to build the casino in
Cherokee County, but they withdrew from the deal citing too much competition
from a bordering Oklahoma Indian casino.
Since Penn National backed out, the state has been searching for another
developer to build the Cherokee County casino. With the current economic
downturn, no one has submitted a bid.
The deadline for Cherokee County applications has now been extended by the
Lottery to April 16th.
