The Kansas Lottery has announced it is extending the temporary suspension of state-owned casino gaming until further notice. This is an extension of the Kansas Lottery’s March 17, 2020 decision to temporarily suspend state-owned casino gaming.
The decision was made following Governor Laura Kelly’s March 24, 2020 executive order to ban gatherings of more than 10 people based on updated guidance from the White House Coronavirus Task Force and modeling from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment showing a possible sharp increase in Kansas cases by the end of March. Additionally, local governments, including Sumner and Wyandotte counties, have issued stay-at-home orders for 30 days.
The four casinos in Kansas with state-owned gaming are the Hollywood Casino in Kansas City, Kansas Crossing in Pittsburg, Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, and Boot Hill Casino in Dodge City.
