Just north of Wichita in Park City is the CrossWinds casino. It’s run by the Wyandotte nation, has been open for about a year and half now.
While business has been good, the tribe wants to expand operations. Chief Billy Friend says “we’re limited to class two, currently. Class three would open up card games, roulette, craps tables, and sports betting, I mean, that falls under what we call class three gaming.”
Friend says they can’t offer class 3 gaming because they don’t have a compact with the state of Kansas. He says they have tried but believes the state isn’t negotiating fairly.
