Kansas Casinos are Owned by State

The state of Kansas wanted to bring in slot machines and was trying to figure out a way to do it. They knew that if they tried to change the constitution of the state that they would have a hard time getting people to believe that this was a good idea. The state constitution banned most gambling, but with an amendment in 1986 the language was changed so that the state could offer a lottery, and that nonprofit horse and dog racing could be allowed.

But it was still very clear on the topic of commercial casinos in that they did not want to see slot machines coming in across the state. But the legislature thinks that they have figured out a way to do it that will not compromise the law. They own the casinos and the slot machines through the state run lottery, instead of farming them out to an outside vendor. This makes perfect sense to all of them as they think that it might behoove them to offer slot machines because of the money that they can bring in – and so the state now owns and runs the new Boot Hill Casino and Resort. They own the table games, the slot machines, the whole thing.

The casino’s general manager, Mr. Tamburelli, must run all of his plans for the casino through the state before he can do anything. If he wanted to change out the slot machines, he has to get permission from the state. If he wanted to add something more to the slot machines or the casino that they don’t currently have he has to get permission from the state.

The state is excited because they know that they now have a way of bringing in a lot more revenue for them, and they didn’t have to change the law to do it.
