Still no bidders on second commercial casino in southeast Kansas

The Kansas Lottery has extended the deadline for a commercial casino in southeast Kansas after no one submitted a bid.

The casino would be located in either Crawford or Cherokee county. But developers appear to be turned off by the $225 million minimum investment that the state requires.

And the Quapaw Tribe already operates the Downstream Casino Resort across the border in Oklahoma. Part of the facility extends into Cherokee County.

In 2007, lawmakers authorized up to four casinos in the state. But the ones in southeast Kansas and another in southcentral Kansas have yet to move forward amid concerns about tribal competition and the economy.
