Kansas Casinos
In April 2007 the Kansas legislature authorized local referendums to allow state-run casinos in four counties.
Casinos were approved for Wyandotte County (home to Kansas City), Ford County, Sumner County and Cherokee County. The Boot Hill Casino in Ford County was the first to open in December 2009.
The Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway is expected to open in Kansas City (Wyandotte County) by mid-2012, while in the city of Mulvane (Sumner County) the Kansas Star Casino is expected to open by February 2012.
As of August 2011, no company had applied for the remaining casino license for Cherokee country.
