The KRGC’s primary mission is to ensure that gambling at facilities with state owned casino games and pari-mutuel racetrack gambling is conducted with integrity. As a regulatory agency, our chief mission is to seek compliance. As a criminal justice agency, our charge is to enforce the law. We take these responsibilities seriously, and we require our licensees do as well.

At the present time, Pari-mutuel licenses for live horse and dog racing have lapsed and been revoked, however KRGC has licensed Gilley’s to operate as a Historical Horse Racing (HHR) gambling hall since December 15, 2025. The Gilley’s HHR facility is located in Park City Kansas just north of Wichita. The KRGC is currently responsible for the regulation of the Boot Hill Casino and Resort in Dodge City, the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City and the Kansas Crossing Casino and Hotel in Pittsburg.

We have designed this website to provide you with access to frequently sought information. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions regarding our website or the information provided here, please e-mail the KRGC Public Information Officer at krgc@ks.gov
