Wyandotte Nation Re-Opening Casino

As Wyandotte County residents are headed to the polls to vote on expanded slot machines, it turns out that their votes won’t be the only expanded gambling around. The Wyandotte Nation is planning on opening up their casino’s doors again.

The Wyandotte Nation announced that they are re-opening the 7th Street Casino, which has been closed. The casino used to be open downtown, but they shut it down a few years back.

Officials say that although they closed it, they had always planned on opening it back up at some point, and they felt that now would be a good time to do so. The small casino however, will not actually be the one they are re-opening.

The 7th Street Casino will be back up and running by late this fall, but not in its previous location. The old one used to be located in downtown Kansas City, Kansas, and the new one will be larger than the old one. According to the tribe the new one will be locate in the old Shriner’s building at the corner of 7th and Ann Avenue, and will be next to Huron Park and across from City Hall.

The new four story facility is going to have a restaurant as well as 400 Class II slot machines. Class II slot machines are similar in looks to Vegas slot machines but they don’t pay out as much, and are really more like bingo games.
