By Phil - 2 September 2022

Butler National Corporation (BUKS), through its wholly-owned subsidiary that manages Boot Hill Casino & Resort in Dodge City, Kansas, has launched online mobile sports betting through its online platform partner, DraftKings.

Boot Hill Casino & Resort also plans to accept sports wagers onsite and anticipates unveiling its new on-site sportsbook soon.

Butler National previously announced sports wagering platform agreements with DraftKings, Bally’s Corporation and most recently, Golden Nugget Online Gaming.

The launch will correspond with college football season and ahead of the start of the 2022 NFL season. “We’re excited to be a part of the launch of sports betting in the State of Kansas. Kansans can now access the latest betting markets as well as bet on local teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals, Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State Wildcats and Sporting KC,” said Clark Stewart, President and CEO of Butler National Corporation. “We’d especially like to thank the Boot Hill Casino & Resort team, DraftKings, the Kansas Lottery and the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission for all their efforts. The outstanding teamwork of these groups has allowed Kansans the opportunity to wager on the upcoming football season.”

Upon the launch of sports wagering in Kansas, anyone legally permitted within the geographical boundaries of Kansas will be able to place bets directly from their mobile devices or computers by accessing a participating sports book or visiting a lottery gaming facility.

“Today is an exciting day in the State of Kansas as we look to increase tourism and revenue for the State of Kansas and Dodge City,” said Stewart.
