Penn National Faces Lawsuit Over Kansas Withdrawal

Cherokee County has announced its intention to sue Penn National Gaming after the company pulled out of an agreement to operate a casino in the county citing competition from a nearby Oklahoma Indian casino. It remains unclear whether Kansas state officials will re-open a tender for the Cherokee casino, one of four scheduled to open in Kansas after casinos were legalized last year.
