TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- The Kansas House has approved casinos in four areas and slot machines at dog and horse tracks in three cities.

The vote this morning gives supporters of expanded gambling hope
that they could end 15 years of legislative failures. The 64-to-58 vote sent the gambling bill to the Senate. Backers of the measure contend the state eventually could realize $200 million a year from the hotel-and-casino complexes and tracks with slots.

The bill would permit large tourist-attracting casinos in Ford County, Wyandotte County, either Sedgwick or Sumner county, and either Crawford or Cherokee counties.

It also would permit allow up to 2,200 slot machines initially, distributed among Wichita Greyhound Park; the Woodlands in Kansas City, Kansas, and the now-closed Camptown Greyhound Park, in Frontenac.
