Welcome to the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission's website.
The KRGC’s primary mission is to ensure that gambling at facilities with state owned casino games and pari-mutuel racetrack gambling is conducted with integrity. As a regulatory agency, our chief mission is to seek compliance. As a criminal justice agency, our charge is to enforce the law. We take these responsibilities seriously, and we require our licensees do as well.
At the present time, all pari-mutuel licenses for horse and dog racing in Kansas have lapsed and been revoked. No pari-mutuel racing has been conducted in Kansas since August 2008. The KRGC is currently responsible for the regulation of the Boot Hill Casino and Resort in Dodge City, the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City and the Kansas Crossing Casino and Hotel in Pittsburg.
We have designed this website to provide you with access to frequently sought information. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions regarding our website or the information provided here, please e-mail the KRGC Public Information Officer at This email address is being protected from spambots.

In The News
Pursuant to K.S.A. 60-4127 all Kansas law enforcement agencies are required to report asset seizure and forfeiture information to the Kansas Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Repository. This information is reported to the Kansas Legislature in an annual report. Attached is the Kansas 2019 Civil Asset Forfeiture Report.
On November 20, 2019, the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission (KRGC), with assistance from the Lansing Police Department and the Leavenworth Police Department, served four search warrants at four different businesses in Leavenworth County. The result of the search warrants was the seizure of eight illegal gaming machines, along with the monies associated with the illegal gambling operation. The warrants were the result of complaints received from citizens, and an investigation by agents of the KRGC. In Kansas, there are only four forms of legal gambling:
• Bingo and charitable raffles conducted by charitable organizations, nonprofit religious organizations, fraternal and veterans organizations
• Horse and dog racing, para mutual wagering at State licensed tracks
• State owned casinos and lottery
• Legally approved tribal casinos.
