Kansas casinos generated $32.3 million in revenue in September, down 10.3% from their August total of $35.9 million. According to data from the Kansas Lottery, September’s revenue numbers were the second-lowest of the year.

The state’s casino revenue figures do not include iGaming because online casinos are not yet legal in Kansas.

Key takeaways

  • Kansas online casinos could average more than $50 million monthly in revenue.
  • Land-based casinos earned $32.3M in September, down 10.3% from KS casino revenue in August 2024.
  • This past month’s revenue total was the second-lowest of the year.

Kansas continues to shun lucrative online casinos

Kansas is one of 43 states that outlaw online casinos, and that doesn’t look like changing anytime soon. Legislators haven’t submitted any iGaming bills of note, and PlayUSA’s legislative sources have not hinted at any future attempts to legalize online casinos.

When lawmakers finally decide to green-light iGaming, PlayUSA predicts Kansas online casinos could generate at least $50 million a month, a figure that’s based on the most recent revenue data from all seven states with online casinos:
