Penn National Gaming Strikes Casino Deal with Kansas

By Paul Black on May 5, 2008  Email it!    Print Version

Play Slots at Rushmore Casino! TOPEKA, KANSAS -- After months of bickering, infighting, and legal manuvering, the Kansas Lottery Commission has finally begun to determine which operators will receive casino licenses in the state. While hotly pursued opportunities in Wyandotte County and others draw multiple applicants, the contract for Cherokee County has been awarded to the only developer applying, Penn National Gaming.

Penn will build and operate a hotel-casino complex in Cherokee, but ownership will remain with the Lottery. The deal will still need approval by a state review board.

Kansas passed a law requiring casino developers to commit at least $225 million to proposed projects. Penn has asked for and received permission to phase in the investment over a 12-year period.

The state's share of revenue is still to be negotiated, although it is expected to fall between 22% and 28%.

The Lottery Commission voted unanimously in favor of the deal.

carol klebofski - I am one of two elextmery proud grammas of this most beautiful baby girl in the world (except of course my own baby girl [1970] who at the time was the cutest, now tis a tie). Not sure which pic I like best. The family ones are so precious, but then so are the ones of the cutest baby girl . Am SO fortunate to have such a fantastic, wonderful, and thoughtful son, daughter-in-law, and Granddaughter (realize she is just a year old, but she is thoughtful too-she hands me things she finds on the floor [even if I cannot see anything]; shares food with me; gives me wonderful kisses; pats me on the back when I hold her and waves bye bye when I leave; plus she almost always smiles and LOVES to dance. To be fair, have to say all the above goes for daughter, son-in-law, and Grandson (2 yrs), (who is cutest baby boy, of course tieing with my son (1969). I AM SO SO LUCKY! p.s. Not biased either.
