The Kansas Senate and House have approved a resolution that allows a tribal casino in northeast Kansas to offer sports betting.
The Senate voted 27-8 to approve SR 1725 on Friday, which would amend the gaming compact with the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation concerning sports wagering. The House voted 93-27 to approve their own version of the resolution, HR 6026, to finalize the Legislature’s approval of the agreement.
The move puts Prairie Band Casino & Resort on track to offer sports betting by the end of this summer.
According to the resolution, the secretary of the Senate shall send an enrolled copy of this resolution to the governor, the secretary of state and the chairperson of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation.
