EDDYTORIAL EXCLUSIVE
Wichita By E.B. Trivia

With the opening of Gilley’s, that’s now three places right outside of Wichita to do some gambling.

Wichita came close to getting a casino but the proposal was voted down in a vote that saw 56% of voters reject gambling measures that could have brought one to downtown Wichita.

In what year did Sedgwick County vote take place that rejected a potential casino?
