The document summarizes a market assessment for a proposed gaming facility in southeast Kansas. It examines the demographic and financial characteristics of populations within 30, 60, and 90 minutes of the location. Entertainment and gambling preferences are also assessed. Significant competition from 50 casinos in Oklahoma is noted. The proposal suggests a casino with 900 slots and 30 tables along with various food and beverage options. However, it is assessed that the facility would likely operate as an overflow property and not significantly grow the existing market due to limited amenities and competition from nearby facilities.
The document provides a market assessment for two potential gaming facility locations in Kansas, examining demographic data and market potential within 30, 60, and 100 mile radii. It analyzes population characteristics like age, race, education, income, and propensity to participate in various entertainment activities. Existing amenities in the areas like hotels, conventions, entertainment, outdoor recreation, and golf are also reviewed. The analysis aims to evaluate each location's ability to maximize revenues, promote tourism, and benefit Kansas as outlined in the state's gaming legislation.
The gambling industry generates livelihood for around 1 million Americans and job satisfaction of around 90% of those employees, higher than many other industries. While physical casinos in California have seen reduced attendance, online gambling has increased and gambling laws are being adjusted accordingly. Las Vegas remains the top gambling destination in the US, with gambling as Nevada's highest revenue generator through activities like casinos, sports betting, and more. Even traditionally conservative investors are allocating funds to the profitable gambling industry. India's gambling market is also growing despite conservative laws.
This document analyzes the potential fiscal impact of three proposed lottery gaming facilities (Harrah's, Marvel, and Penn) in southeast Kansas. It estimates revenues from gaming, property and sales taxes, as well as costs to local governments. For Harrah's, the state would see a $64 million surplus while Mulvane would face a $15 million deficit. Marvel and Penn would result in surpluses for most entities analyzed over three years, with Penn generating the highest surpluses for local school districts.
The document provides a review and comparison of the ancillary development proposals of two applicants - Global Gaming Solutions (GGS) and Peninsula Gaming Partners (PGP) - for a gaming license in the South Central Zone of Kansas. It finds that both proposals involve investing $280-285 million to develop regional entertainment destinations relying largely on local gamers within 100 miles. While PGP forecasts higher gaming demand and revenue, GGS proposes comparable gaming capacity with lower projected spending per visitor. The review also compares the applicants' proposals for dining, bars, entertainment, hotels, retail, and parking, finding differences in concepts, capacity, and projected performance.
The document outlines the target market, location, and plans for a proposed NFL franchise called the Las Vegas Scorpions, including details on the primary target market of males ages 21-100 making $45,000-$100,000, the location of Las Vegas, Nevada, and plans for the stadium, uniforms, tickets, and marketing strategy.
The document provides a market assessment for four gaming facility proposals in the Northeast Gaming Zone of Kansas. It analyzes demographic data within 30, 60, and 100 mile radii of the proposed facilities, including population size and growth, age distribution, racial composition, education levels, and financial metrics like income and net worth. For each demographic factor, data is presented for 2008 and projections for 2013 to understand trends. Caveats are also provided for some of the proposed facilities related to their golf courses, retail offerings, synergies with other attractions, and visitor research methodology.

One of the most significant developments in the hospitality industry during the past two decades has been the astounding growth of the casino industry and its convergence with the lodging and hospitality industries. What has emerged from this development is an entirely new arena of hospitality known as the gaming entertainment industry. With its rapid expansion in North America and throughout the world, new opportunities have been created for hospitality careers. This chapter explores the gaming entertainment industry and details exciting developments yet to come in this dynamic and controversial segment of the hospitality business.

Gaming Entertainment
For the purposes of this chapter, the term gaming entertainment refers to one subset of the gaming industry, that is, the casino industry. What used to be known as the casino business is now known as gaming entertainment. The dramatic growth of this part of the hospitality business has brought with it significant changes in how businesses in this industry operate and what they offer their guests. The changes have been so great that a new name needed to be created to accurately describe all the amenities this industry provides.
The gaming industry includes 445 casinos in eleven states.1 The industry includes both land-based and riverboat casinos, card rooms, charitable games, lottery-operated games, and greyhound and horse races. The gaming industry as a whole is larger than most people can believe. Approximately $70 billion is wagered, or bet, on games or races every year.
That is more than seven times what is spent on movie tickets. The total amount bet is called the handle in the gaming industry, and it is often a misunderstood concept. When a customer places a bet in any type of gaming activity, sometimes that
customer wins and sometimes he or she loses. The total amount of all bets is the handle, and the net amount of spending by the customer is termed win by the gaming industry.
What is the difference between gambling and gaming? Gambling is playing a game of risk for the thrill of the "action" and the chance of making money. True gamblers spend a great deal of time learning and understanding a favorite game of risk and enjoying its subtle attributes, and they find an enjoyable challenge in trying to "beat the house," or win more than they lose from a casino.

- Walker estimates that a new casino would result in a 9.9% increase in employment, 3.4% increase in average weekly wages, and 1.7% increase in the number of establishments in the county. Crawford County is estimated to see larger gains due to its larger population.
- 14 casinos in northeast Oklahoma located within 25 miles of the Kansas border could competitively impact the proposed southeast Kansas casinos. Walker uses a model of competition among Missouri casinos to analyze these competitive effects.
- Location and distance between casinos may impact competition based on Hot

The document provides an analysis of the potential fiscal impacts of three proposed gaming facilities - Camptown Casino, Kansas Crossing Casino, and Castle Rock Casino - in southeast Kansas. It summarizes the methodology used, including adjustments made to the revenue estimates provided by the applicants. Revenue estimates over 5 years are provided for the state of Kansas, local counties and cities, school districts, and other impacted entities. Estimated costs to local and state governments to provide services to each facility are also summarized. The analysis finds differences between the revenue and cost estimates provided by EEC and the original numbers submitted by the applicants.
Civic Economics (Dan Houston, Matt Cunningham)krgc
The document analyzes the potential economic impacts of three proposed gaming facility projects in Kansas: Camptown, Kansas Crossing, and Castle Rock. It finds that Castle Rock would have the largest economic impact during construction, supporting over 900 jobs and contributing $134.2 million to total economic output. During operations in 2019, Castle Rock is estimated to support 584 jobs and contribute $72.9 million to economic output, more than the other two proposals. The analysis examines impacts from construction spending, facility operations, gaming revenues, and local resident spending.
The document analyzes and evaluates the financial suitability of three applicants for a gaming license in Southeast Kansas: Frontenac Development, Castle Rock Casino Resort, and Kansas Crossing Casino. For each applicant, it summarizes the ownership structure, project budget, proposed financing sources, and Union Gaming's analysis and conclusion on their financial viability and ability to fund the projects. While Frontenac and Kansas Crossing were deemed sufficiently capitalized, Castle Rock's ability to obtain the required debt financing was called into question due to uncertainties around land valuation and high projected leverage.
The three proposed casino projects in Kansas Southeast Zone are similar in their Phase 1 concepts, having a minimum critical mass to win the bid but also achieve initial success. Camptown and Kansas Crossing propose smaller local casinos, while Castle Rock proposes a larger regional destination. All have similar potential for Phase 1 success despite different strengths and weaknesses. The key decision is whether to prefer two smaller local casinos or one larger regional casino. The regional casino has the greatest revenue potential but also the least room for error. The owner/team's ability to adapt may be more important than initial plans. However, the tax rate difference between Kansas and Oklahoma gives Oklahoma casinos an advantage in any marketing war.
This document provides an overview and analysis of projections for new casinos proposed in southeastern Kansas. It discusses the use of gravity models to project gaming revenues and financial performance based on location, size, competition and other factors. Specifically, it examines how spending declines with distance from a casino based on players' club and other data. Bigger casinos are generally better due to economies of scale. The presentation compares various existing casinos' "power ratings" which reflect their overall attractiveness based on revenues adjusted for location.
Camptown Casino will be located in Frontenac, Kansas. It will include 750 slot machines, 20 table games, a 62-room hotel, and Gilley's Saloon entertainment venue. Phil Ruffin, an experienced casino operator, will personally finance the $84 million project. It is projected to create 300 jobs and attract nearly 1 million visitors annually from Missouri, Kansas, and other nearby states. Camptown aims to open sooner than competing proposals and will donate $50,000 annually to the local school district.
2015 LGFRB Presentation Castle Rock Casino Resort krgc
This document provides details about the proposed Castle Rock Casino Resort development project. It outlines the developers, architects, management company, contractors, and legal consultants involved. It also provides information on the size and amenities of the casino, hotel, meeting space, and other facilities. Projected revenues, taxes, employment, and visitation are presented. The management and development experience of the casino operator, American Casino and Entertainment Company, is summarized.
Global Gaming KS, LLC presented to the Kansas Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board on their proposal for a gaming facility. They argued that their selected Exit 19 site is clean with infrastructure, has community support, and avoids legal issues. Their planned 260,000 square foot facility with hotel would open fully within 14 months. While an interim facility lacks appeal, their permanent destination-quality development would include restaurants, entertainment, and gaming expansion over time. They believe revenue differences between Exit 19 and 33 sites are negligible and addressed counterarguments.
The document discusses two proposed casino projects in Kansas - Kansas Star and WinSpirit. Kansas Star promises to invest $260 million, build amenities sooner including a 100,000 square foot event center and $25 million equestrian complex, and generate more gaming revenue, taxes, and jobs for the state. It argues Kansas Star's management team has more experience building and operating successful casino projects on time and on budget and will spend more on advertising to drive higher revenue. The document positions Kansas Star as the best and most lucrative choice for Kansas.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can calm the mind and help prevent worrying thoughts. Meditation lowers stress levels in the body by reducing blood pressure and cortisol levels.
Dean Macomber summarizes his analysis of Global Gaming's proposal for a race track as a tourism generator. He finds that Global's projections of attracting a "Big Event" with 50,000-100,000 visitors are speculative given the limited number of comparable racing events and competition from existing tracks. Their projections of smaller events generating the remaining 50,000 visitors also seem aggressive. In contrast, an equestrian center like Peninsula proposes could attract equine, entertainment, and convention events more reliably as a tourism generator.

The document is a letter from Christopher Young, a civil engineering consultant, to the chairman of the Kansas Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board regarding a proposed drainage system for a proposed Kansas Star Casino development. Young serves as the City Engineer for Mulvane, Kansas and has reviewed drainage plans submitted by the developer. He concludes that the proposed drainage improvements, including a detention pond facility, will meet or exceed the City of Mulvane's stormwater drainage policy by having outflow rates less than existing conditions for 2-, 5-, 10-, and 100-year storm events.
This document is a response from Cummings Associates to submissions from Global Gaming Solutions regarding revenue projections and the effects of distance on revenues. Cummings disagrees with some of Global Gaming's assertions, such as that the revenue differential between two proposed casino sites is mostly due to attractiveness rather than distance. Cummings also argues that survey data is not an accurate predictor of economic behavior like casino spending. Overall, Cummings believes distance has a larger impact on revenues than Global Gaming suggests, based on Cummings' analysis of casino performance data from multiple markets.
The memorandum summarizes a request from the Kansas Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board for additional information about two competing casino applications in Kansas. Specifically, it provides details about 1) drainage and flooding issues at the proposed sites, 2) local approvals and endorsements for the sites, and 3) the experience of one applicant, Peninsula Gaming, with regulatory bodies in other states where criminal charges have been filed against the company and its executives related to campaign contributions. It concludes that the significant risks associated with approving Peninsula's application, including possible disqualification or inability to finance the project, outweigh any potential benefits over the other applicant, Global.
The marketing plan outlines a soft opening period followed by a grand opening 90 days later for a new casino in Sumner County, Kansas. The $1 million budget will be used for advertising, promotions, and community events to generate awareness and excitement. Key objectives include building a local player base within 100 miles, attracting travelers on Interstate 35, and establishing the casino as a new entertainment destination through gaming, restaurants, a hotel, and live entertainment events.
- The proposed Kansas Star Casino development will include new drainage infrastructure to improve drainage conditions for surrounding landowners.
- Runoff from the development and surrounding areas will be conveyed via three new swales to a 29.8-acre dry bottom detention basin located at the southeast corner of the site.
- Water in the detention basin will drain by gravity and pumping to existing culverts under 140th Avenue at a rate of 25 cfs or less, which is less than the culverts' capacity. This will ensure no adverse impacts from increased runoff.

Proposal Assessment
Kansas Penn Gaming
We believe that a significant percentage of people will visit
both co-located properties for the entertainment variety that
they would offer.
Kansas Penn National would be number two in the market
with regards to variety and quantity of amenities.
Kansas Penn National has the opportunity to compete on
quality, but given the estimated gaming revenue, the
resources to do so may be limited.
It is our opinion that this facility would not significantly grow
the market through their amenities, especially with regards to
out market tourism, and would share the market that currently
exists.

Proposal Assessment
Kansas Penn Gaming
Phase 1 will operate as an overflow property based
upon:
The facilities that are recommended in first phase of
the Kansas Penn Gaming proposal;
Cummings and Wells reports on estimates of gaming
revenue and visitation;
the strong volume of convenience gaming supply in
the area (although inferior);
the strong competition from the adjacent property
operating under different jurisdictional regulations.
