Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation sues former partner

The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation of Kansas has sued Harrah's Entertainment, its former gaming partner.

Harrah's used to run the Prairie Band Casino & Resort under a federally-approved gaming management contract. The deal ended last year when the tribe took complete control of the facility.

The tribe says Harrah's promised not to enter the gaming market in Kansas for a "reasonable time period," The Wichita Eagle reported. A lawsuit filed in state court accuses the company of violating the non-compete clause of the contract by pursuing a commercial casino in Kansas.

Harrrah's has submitted a bid for a casino in Sumner County.
