While most forms of gambling may be legal in Kansas, the state is hardly known as a hotbed of betting and wagering activity. ... However, the state authorities have worked hard to expand its gambling legislation over the course of the last three decades or so, while two mobile sports betting bills are currently circulating in the state Senate. Meanwhile, let's take a look at what the Kansas casinos have to offer.

Gambling Legal Situation in Kansas

Taxation of winnings.

Like most US states, Kansas applies a basic 5% on all gambling winnings (in addition to the existing Federal tax rate of 24%). However, this only applies to prizes of $5,000 or more, and winnings worth less than this sum will only be subject to the Federal tax levy.

Kansas Gambling Laws

Some forms of gambling in Kansas are legal and some are not. Learn more about the gambling laws for Kansas here .

This defines gambling as ‘making a bet’ that could result in a win or loss, while the 2007 Expanded Lottery Act allowed the state to open up to four commercial casino / racino locations.

This formally legalises pari-mutuel betting for horse racing, with this extended to include both on and off-track wagers.

Passed in 1987, this statue legalised lottery wagering and led to the formation of the state draw.

Kansas has a rich gambling heritage, starting with the iconic saloons and poker houses of the Old West and continuing to this very day. As a result, most forms of wagering are legal in the state, although it has a complex history when appraising and passing gambling-friendly laws.

Kansas history image

1800 – 1974 At the heart of Kansas in the famous Dodge City, which was renowned as the primary frontier settlement in the Old West. Make no mistake; the saloons of Dodge City were dangerous places to be at the turn of the 19th century, with poker and dice games such as Hazard (which remain popular to this day) taking centre stage. Gradually, the majority of gambling games were prohibited over the course of the next 100 years or more, but this trend began to change when the state legalised charitable gaming and social games like bingo.

1974 – 1987 The next 12 years were busy for regulators, and by 1986 Kansas voters had elected to amend Article 15, Section 3b of the Constitution and permit pari-mutuel horse and dog racing. The following year, Kansas approved and rolled out its first state lottery, with tickets being sold in 21 cities and generating an impressive $7 million before the end of 1987.

1987 – Present In 1995 (and following the rollout of the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act), a deal was reached to open four new casinos on tribal land. There are now five Indian casinos operating within state boundaries. The 2007 Expanded Lottery Act also allowed for the development of up to four commercial casinos and racinos with immediate effect, and despite some legislative challenges, these resorts have all opened over the course of the last decade.

Upcoming Changes in the Gambling Regulation

With no remaining offline gambling licenses available, all eyes have turned to online and mobile wagering in Kansas. As we’ve already said, one of the two existing bills is now in the Senate, and some hope that sports betting could be legal in the state by 2021.

Kansas Casino Resorts and Trips

While not all resorts in Kansas offer accommodation, there are a select number that do. There are also a selection of trips and packages available to visitors at any given time, and we’ve broken these down in further detail below.

What is the closest casino to the Country Plaza. Is there a bus to get you there from the plaza area?

' class=

I guess Isle of Capri would be closest. But Harrah's and Ameristar are only a few minutes/miles further across the river. I am not familiar with any busses so hopefully someone else will know...

A Guide To The Most Iconic Riverboat Casinos In The US 

  • MEET THE TEAM
  • PRIVACY POLICY
  • TERMS OF USE

Jetset Times

Talk about casino destinations and you’ll most likely think of Las Vegas, Atlantic City or, if you are travelling outside the US, maybe Monaco or Macau.

Amelia Belle Casino

Yet what are called “land based” or “bricks and mortar” casinos to differentiate them from the online versions are not necessarily on land or made of bricks and mortar.

We refer, of course, to riverboat casinos, a little slice of Americana that’s as American as Super Bowl Sunday or Thanksgiving turkey. Riverboat casinos conjure up images of the Mississippi and Mark Twain complete with white suit, top hat and cigar. There are more than 60 riverboat casinos operating in the USA and every single one of them has a story to tell. Here, we highlight a handful of the very best.

The Grand Victoria, Elgin

Our first stop is not on the Mississippi at all, but on the Fox River in Elgin, 50 miles north west of Chicago . Owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment, the Grand Victoria really is a slice of Las Vegas on the Illinois waterfront.  With more than 1,000 slots and video poker terminals and 36 tables, there’s a great choice of games.

If all that gambling whets your appetite, there are four dining options on board, including the highly rated Buckingham’s Steakhouse and Lounge.

Casino Queen, Marquette  

The Casino Queen would look like a lifeboat if it was moored alongside the Grand Victoria, but that is all part of its charm. It offers a more intimate and personalized experience, and although there are only eight tables, they host an intriguing variety of games that are not commonly found in land (or water) based casinos. If you know how to gamble online in the US , you’ve probably seen fusion blackjack and 21+3 at US online casinos. The Casino Queen gives you an opportunity to play them in real casino surroundings.

When you step ashore, there is an adjacent 31-acre entertainment complex with a variety of attractions and a huge choice of dining options.

The Amelia Belle, Amelia  

At last, we arrive in Louisiana, where the Amelia Belle lies nestled in the Avoca Island Cutoff waterway. This classic four-story riverboat looks like it has stepped straight out of a photograph from the turn of the 20 th century. When it is lit up at night, it takes your breath away.

At the tables, poker is the order of the day. The casino offers Mississippi stud, 3-card poker and Texas Holdem. There are also 800 slot games, while the Fanduel sportsbook has self-service betting kiosks, a wall full of television screens, and a huge video wall to show the biggest events.

Sam’s Town, Shreveport

On the opposite side of Louisiana, Sam’s Town could not be more different to the Amelia Belle. This floating leisure complex houses a hotel, health spa, sauna and live entertainment venue.

The casino offers more than 1,000 slots and 30 table games that include blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Let it Ride and Craps No More.
