SPORTS BETTING
US – Prairie Band Casino and Resorts open sportsbook
By Phil - 8 January 2024
Prairie Band Casino and Resorts Sportsbook officially opened last week, making it the first tribal casino in Kansas to offer retail sports betting.
It has opened with 10 state-of-the-art sports betting kiosks.
Zeke Rupnick, Chairperson for the Prairie Band Potawatomi nation, said: “I think when the state first went with sports betting tribes weren’t really considered in that and then we had to go back and amend the law to allow us to amend our compact with a state. So I want to thank the governor, all of her staff, and of course all the state legislators that worked really hard to make sure that we could amend our compact to be able to allow this amenity. One of the things that we asked for was to allow tribes to be on the same playing field as every other casino in the state of Kansas.”
