Remember when you were a kid and all those TV shows took place in Dodge City, which was kind of the edge of the western frontier, where crooks and the law met?
Remember Matt Dillon and Chester and Miss Kitty.
And the gambling. Miss Kitty ran a casino, you know?
Now the state is running a casino in Dodge and the results have been spectacular, both for players and the government.
Name of the casino is the Boot Hill Casino and Resort and it is totally state run (the games, I mean).
Cool, huh?
The casino opened in December, beginning a one-of-a-kind arrangement for the United States where a state government owns the slot machines and game tables.
The shiny new Dodge City gambling hall gives a preview of what to expect when the far bigger Hollywood Casino, which is soon to be built at Turn 2 of Kansas Speedway in Wyandotte County. Target date for that opening is about two years.
The guys who run the show are quite upfront about Boot Hill. It’s like any other casino, they say, “It’s just that we’ve got a partner. And that partner is the state of Kansas.”
Hey look, this is just another way of taxing casinos.
Of the money lost by gamblers in Dodge City, 27 percent goes to various state and local government funds.
he state gets 22 percent, a fund for problem gambling gets 2 percent, and Ford County and Dodge City each get 1.5 percent.
And I get to play in a well run casino.
If you’re ever in the area, go there. You won’t be disappointed.
I wasn’t.
