The Kansas Legislature is taking a closer look at sports betting, and some lawmakers say state revenue numbers are not as high as they could be.
During the Special Committee on Federal and State affairs on Sept. 22, Kansas lawmakers learned more about why the state should be concerned about the amount of revenue it receives from sports gambling. Currently, Kansas receives 6.5% of all sports betting revenue in the Sunflower State. The rest goes to casinos and betting companies.
Kansas has one of the lowest rates in the country. Only Arizona and Michigan have lower rates.
