It’s not clear if the review will delay the launch. The office said it would provide formal feedback in the coming days.
Boot Hill Casino previously announced it has partnered with national gambling apps DraftKings and Bally’s Corporation to provide online sports betting in Kansas.Īttorney General Derek Schmidt’s office said Thursday afternoon that it had identified issues with the regulations as part of the normal review process. The four casinos are Boot Hill Casino and Resort near Dodge City, Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Kansas Crossing Casino and Hotel in Pittsburg and Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The start of betting was delayed because the Kansas Lottery needed to finalize regulations, including creating a specific process for casinos to apply to offer sports gambling in certain ways, such as through a smartphone app. Kansas lawmakers narrowly approved the bill this year after close, late-night votes in both the House and Senate in April. The start date comes months after a new law went into effect July 1 allowing people over the age of 21 to bet on sports. “I want to thank all our partners for working with us to get this done in time for football season,” Kelly said in a news release.
