Gaming board hears from consultants on Kan. casino proposals

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Members of a Kansas gaming board have heard from consultants about how much revenue three proposed casinos are projected to bring in.

The Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board is tasked with recommending one of them for a state-owned casino in southeast Kansas. The board will pick one of the proposals later this month to recommend to the state Racing and Gaming Commission, which will make a final decision soon after.

The board heard hours of testimony on Wednesday from consultants in how much each facility could generate for their geographic areas and state coffers once they become fully operational in 2019.
