Casino developers will move one step towards state approval, Wednesday, as the Kansas Lottery Gaming Facility Review board will consider a recently amended contract and ask for additional information before making their final decision for Sumner County.
The Kansas Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board will meet via telephone conference at 10 a.m., Wednesday to discuss the single casino contract left in Sumner County.
According to their agenda, a presentation regarding the amendments to the Chisholm Creek Casino and Resort contract approved by the Kansas Lottery Commission in late February.
Along with the inclusion of the hotel in the casino contract to the state, amendments were made to help Chisholm Creek if a tribal casino by the Wyandotte Tribe is opened in Park City.
In phase one — regardless of whether a tribal gaming facility opens — within 18 months, Chisholm Creek will be required to open with a 72,000 square foot enterprise, 1,300 machines, 40 table games, 200-seat restaurant and 100-room hotel.
Should a tribal gaming facility be built within 60 months of the contract’s approval by the Facility Gaming Review Board, in phase two, within 144 months, Chisholm Creek must have a total of 1,700 machines, 50 total table games, three additional restaurants, 50 additional hotel rooms and a 10,000 square foot on-site convention space.
The contract also has stipulations in place in case the tribal gaming facility starts operating after 60 months, but before 120 months.
The amendments are only valid if a tribal casino is opened within a certain time. If the casino fails to open, Chisholm Creek Casino will be required to build out and expand as originally proposed with none of the amendments valid at that time.
The contract now also states exactly what “infrastructure” means and what could count towards the initial $225 million investment.
Now, in addition to land and buildings, costs of highways and streets, gaming equipment and software upgrades and new computer equipment will be calculated as “infrastructure” but only if a tribal casino in Park City is built.
The review board will also request any addition information from Chisholm Creek before regarding the developer’s contract for approval on the state level, Communications Director Mike Deines said.
Those wanting to participate in the meeting can call (866)-620-7326 and when prompted, enter the conference ID: 6099765378. Callers are asked to mute their phone during the meeting.
