Kansas state laws class gambling as illegal unless otherwise specified, but in reality, many forms of gambling are perfectly legal. Illegal gambling is deemed a crime against public morals in Kansas, with gambling regulations outlined in Kansas Statutes 74-87, 74-88 and 74-98.

The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission oversees licensed gambling in the state. Here's a look at how Kansas gambling laws affect each type of gambling activity.

Casino Games

Casino gambling is legal in Kansas, with the state home to 10 casino venues, including six tribal casinos and four commercial casinos. The tribal casinos were first on the scene, opening venues in the 1990s. The 2007 Kansas Expanded Lottery Act permitted land-based casinos outside Indian reservations, creating more venues for state residents.

Kansas' existing gambling laws do not specifically address online gambling gambling, except in the operation of unlicensed gambling venues, which would also cover online sites. However, the activity is generally regarded as illegal. Kansas residents wishing to play online casino slots and other such games can still do so, with many sites accepting those in the state and local authorities showing little interest in prosecuting players.

Poker

Poker gambling is legal in Kansas, with at least 3 of the state's casinos offering poker rooms for such gameplay. Players can enjoy plenty of tables, with cash games and tournaments of Texas Hold'em and Omaha most commonly offered. Online poker gambling isn't specifically mentioned in existing legislation but is deemed illegal in Kansas. Residents can still easily sign up to the many available online poker sites without fear of prosecution.

Bingo

Bingo gambling is legally permitted in Kansas, but charitable organizations can only offer games. Online bingo gambling is not specifically legislated for in Kansas and is classed as illegal by default. Various bingo casinos online accept state residents to register and play online, with prosecution highly unlikely.

Lotteries

Lottery gambling is legal in Kansas, with the Kansas Lottery launched in 1987. State residents can buy tickets for various draw-based games, including the popular Powerball and Mega Millions lottery draws, scratch cards, keno, raffles and pull-tab games.
