Butler National Corporation has extended two sports wagering agreements at its Boot Hill Casino & Resort property in Kansas until 2030.
The agreements, executed by Butler National subsidiary BHCMC, LLC, cover both the property’s regulatory relationship with the Kansas Lottery and its commercial partnership with DraftKings.
Under the first agreement, Butler National received a three-year extension of its Lottery Sports Wagering Management Contract with the Kansas Lottery.
The contract provides for Boot Hill Casino’s management of sports wagering operations conducted through the property. Kansas authorized Kansas Lottery-owned and operated sports wagering in 2022, with operations managed by the state’s lottery gaming facility managers.
The original sports wager management contract was a five-year agreement. The newly executed extension retains the same material terms as that original agreement and pushes Boot Hill’s management of sports wagering operations to 2030.
In connection with the Kansas Lottery extension, Boot Hill Casino and DraftKings agreed to amend and extend their sports wagering arrangement for ten years. That arrangement facilitates online and mobile sports wagering at the property, and the new terms include updated commercial conditions based on current market factors.
The DraftKings agreement remains subject to Boot Hill Casino’s continuing management authority under its agreement with the Kansas Lottery, tying the commercial partnership’s duration to the regulatory contract underpinning it.
Ryan Deutsch, General Manager of Boot Hill Casino & Resort, said: “Sports wagering has become an important component of our entertainment offering and continues to attract visitors from across Kansas and neighboring states. This extension provides long-term stability for our sports wagering platform and allows us to continue investing in the guest experience and sportsbook operations.”
“Boot Hill remains focused on driving tourism, entertainment, and economic activity in Southwest Kansas while generating meaningful revenue for the State of Kansas. We are proud of the role our property plays in supporting both objectives.”
