Kansas Casino Hopefuls To Present To Lottery Commission In May

The state of Kansas is on their way towards expanded gambling. The legislature in the state has already passed a gambling act that would allow for four additional casino locations throughout the state.

Opposition has filed a suit with the state Supreme Court. No decision has been made as of yet on the constitutional challenge, but that has not stopped the process of expanding gambling from moving forward.

The Kansas Lottery Commission has announced that they will be hearing the proposals of five developers looking to build casinos in Wyandotte County. The presentations will be held May 19th and 20th.

Two other proposals will also be heard those days, but not for Wyandotte. they will be for two of the other zones that will receive expanded casino gambling.

Most of the proposals that are left for Wyandotte are on the high end. They range from $650 million to $777 million. All of the proposals have received the necessary local endorsements that were required in the process.
