Kansas Lottery retailers, local units of government and addiction counselors expressed concern Thursday about being excluded in a Kansas Senate bill from opportunities to share in revenue from legalizing sports gambling statewide. A Senate bill years in the making would place operational control of onsite and online sports betting in Kansas with the four state-owned, contractor-managed casinos in Pittsburg, Mulvane, Dodge City and Kansas City, Kansas. The Senate’s casino model would differ from the preference of some Kansas House members who want to involve the 1,100 convenience store retailers that sell Kansas Lottery tickets in the new business of gambling on sporting events. … the League of Kansas Municipalities recommended adjustment of the Senate bill to be consistent with existing state gambling law guaranteeing 3% of revenue from sports wagering was shared with local units of government.
