Kansas Lawmakers are working on a possible Sports Gambling Agreement that could advance before the session ends. If they craft a deal, it looks likely the Governor would sign it. Democratic Governor Laura Kelly says, from a financial standpoint, the State needs to legalize sports gambling to compete with nearby states, saying most people know people who go to Iowa every weekend. She’d like them to stay here and spend their money in the State of Kansas.
Plans to legalize sports betting in Kansas have passed both the House and Senate and now a group is working to negotiate a final compromise. Both Bills would allow betting online and in person at locations, including casinos.
