There have been multiple attempts by lawmakers to interpret the state’s casino legislation as including online casinos, but since no mention of online gaming exists in the Act, these have failed. There are four commercial casinos that are operated by private casino companies under license of the state. While legal in the state, sports betting is not permitted at tribal casinos.Ĭommercial casinos are regulated by the The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission (KRGC) following the passing of the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act (KELA). These are class III properties that host slots and table games. Tribal casinos operate under gaming compacts agreed with the state. Kansas State gaming laws allow for retail casino gaming only at both tribal and commercial casinos.
