Kansas casinos generated $39.8 million in revenue for May, up 5.5% year-over-year with slots accounting for most of the combined figure with the Kansas Star Casino accounting for $16.3 million of that number, the most of the four state casinos.
The Kansas Star Casino revenue for the month was up 8% with slots seeing an increase of 6.6% to $13.7 million and generating the most revenue there. Table games rose 15.5% to $2.6 million.
The Kansas Star Casino is a casino and hotel in western Mulvane, Kansas, located a mere 20 minutes from Wichita. It is owned and managed by Boyd Gaming. Located on the West side of I-35, the resort also features the Kansas Star Arena, a multipurpose entertainment venue that hosts concerts, pageants, and various athletic and equestrian events.
A number of reviews for The Kansas Star Casino claim "tight machines".
Bryan, a local guide, writes:
"Tightest machines ive ever played on. I played video poker for an hour and not so much as a three of a kind, and the slots were even worse and its been that was the past 3 times ive come here. And the same for others I've talked to. Never playing here again."
Bill Winans agrees, and he loves the casino:
"Very clean, beautiful place. The rooms are premium suites!! Excellent. The machines were about as tight as I have ever encountered. I think there were 4 floor cashiers for the entire place, and word has it they had 2 too many."
And this from Kareem Jamar:
"Pretty decent casino machines are tight as hell."
The last big jackpot win reported here was $306,000 on a $5 bet last August when a Harper resident hit a royal flush on Light & Wonder’s Mississippi Stud poker game.
