Snippet from the KC Star:
Kansas plans to begin allowing bets in person and via mobile on Sept. 1 at four state-owned casinos. Sports betting will officially open fully on Sept. 8, according to a news release from the governor’s office.
The four casinos are Boot Hill Casino & Resort in Ford County, near Dodge City; Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane; Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan.; and Kansas Crossing Casino & Hotel in Pittsburg.
The governor’s release noted that “tribal casinos are also working to align on contracts with the State of Kansas for sports wagering. These casinos will be authorized to launch as soon as they are ready.”
Sen. Rob Olson, an Olathe Republican and sports betting proponent, said he wasn’t surprised Kansas would be able to launch betting by the time the NFL season begins. More than 30 states have legalized sports gambling.
The Kansas Lottery can authorize sports wagering platforms, such as a phone app, through the four casinos with which the state of Kansas contracts. What’s Your KCQ? Which Kansas City-centric question should we tackle?
READ MORE Those apps, as identified by KCSP (610 AM)’s Alex Gold, are Draft Kings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Kansas Caesar’s, Bally Bet and PointsBet. Chris Boan, lead writer for Gambling.com Group media sites that include BetKansas.com and BetArizona.com, explained how a fan would set up an account.
