First glance" are the key words. Have a little patience Bubba and ask a lot of questions - I think you will find this to be a bit different when you know all the players and what their exact plans are. It's the local's and Butler that seem to 'have done it right' - by being very open to everyone and putting more money back into Dodge and SW Kansas. There are strong differences between the two casino plans - Butler is focused on retail and entertainment development and bought their land. Joseph is focused on large ag-facility development wtih a truck stop and has an option on the land with Harding.
Dodge City Resorts shows up in the last days and looks like they're here to save us. I doubt that - show me the plan (all of it), then we'll know who's who. Long Branch gaming has included Bob Knight, Larry Steckline, and others who are not here to 'save us'. They smelled the money.
