Approval of an off-reservation casino for the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma is "imminent," a tribal official said.
The tribe wants to 10.5 acres near Park City, Kansas, for a casino. But the Bureau of Indian Affairs hasn't made a decision on the application, which was first filed in 1996.
Still, Doug Spangler, the tribe's director of governmental affairs, remained optimistic. "I think it's imminent. All the requirements have been fulfilled," he told The Wichita Eagle.
The tribe's bid apparently has the developers of a state-licensed casino worried. The Chisholm Creek Casino Resort could be dropped if the backers aren't satisfied, the executive director of the Kansas Lottery said.
The tribe already operates a Class II facility in downtown Kansas City, Kansas.
