Some execs from Marvel Gaming stopped by the Courier and Traveler yesterday on a public relations tour of Cowley County. They're trying to forge win community support for their plans to put the casino in Wellington, not Mulvane. Marvel's proposal is in Wellington.
I asked President and COO Roger Wagner about competition from the Indian Casinos on the border. He said it would be his job to "put them out of business." He was supremely confident that even folks in Okla would come to the Kansas casino because of better payouts and more games and attractions.
Why then, are border casinos still being built, I wonder?
(Ark City native and football hero Lloyd Buzzi is the PR front man for Marvel and will moving back to this area from Las Vegas to lobby for the Marvel proposal.)

"Why then, are border casinos still being built, I wonder?"
Some guy comes to town saying he will "put them out of business", yet they continue building?
They must not take him seriously or see him as a threat. He sounds like Don Quixote and his close adviser Sancho Panza attacking windmills.
For more information about Quixote, see the movie Shrek.
The number of casinos in Okla. are rediculous. Why does Kansas want to follow Oklahomas example? There has to be a negative effect to all the casinos concentrated in this small space. Check the facts not the Hype.
