Mohegan Tribe loses partner in Kansas casino bid

The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut has lost one of its partners in a bid for a commercial casino in Kansas.

The tribe, owners of the Mohegan Sun Casino, purchased the one-third interest held by Olympia Gaming in the "Legends Sun" project. RED Development LLC remains a partner in the proposed casino.

The Legends Sun is among five bidders seeking the casino in Wyandotte County. The Kansas Supreme Court on June 27 ruled that the law authorizing commercial casinos was constitutional.

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation was pursuing a casino in the state but dropped out of the bidding in May.
