Kansas’ Slot Machines 

Slot machine enthusiasts are confused by the recent turn of events involving Kansas. The state that is known for being probably the most conservative in the nation, and being dominantly Republican Party led, has decided to add slot machines to their state. This is the state that is usually referred to as conservative Kansas, which is why it is such a shock that they would even consider bringing in slot machines. However, the state needs the money, which is why they're turning to gambling. 

Some say they are shocked and appalled that the state would turn to something that they have so often rallied against. However, the state says that they are facing the same economic crisis as everyone else, and therefore as they have nothing else to turn to, they have turned to the slot machines. 

However, they will be handling a little different than the other states. Kansas will be opening and owning their own slot machine casinos. While many states have been happy to allow other entities to run their slot machines in their casinos, Kansas can't resist owning their own casinos. They are believed to be the only state that would have such arrangement, as it already has four Indian casinos that they have allowed to run within their country and take a portion of the proceeds. However, they are about to open their first non-tribal casino with slot machines, and they expect to have it done before the end of the year. 

The state says that they cannot continue cutting things like education within their state, and that they have to turn to new and previously untapped revenue sources. Experts say that it is disappointing that the state would turn to slot machine gambling, and ironic that it would be Kansas of all states that would own their own casinos.
