UPDATE:
A Kansas review board's decision on a proposed Wichita-area casino has been delayed.
The Kansas Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board voted Tuesday to send the Chisholm Creek proposal for a $225 million casino complex back to Kansas Lottery officials. The board did so at Chisholm Creek's request.
Chisholm Creek officials said they want to revise their plan because of potential competition from an Indian casino in the Wichita area. Also, they said they want to add a hotel to the first phase of development.
Chisholm Creek's proposal was the only one for the Wichita area and would be about 20 miles south of the city.
Lottery officials said they would try to expedite negotiations over a new plan. The review board is independent of the lottery.

A Kansas board is close to deciding whether developers may proceed with proposed casinos in the Kansas City and Wichita areas.
The Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board was meeting Tuesday for a final review of the proposals — one in Wyandotte County and the other in Sumner County. The panel is to meet Wednesday to decide on each project.
The developers are seeking contracts to build and operate the casinos for the state.
In the Kansas City area, the proposed Wyandotte County casino would overlook the Kansas Speedway racetrack. The $521 million project involves the speedway's parent company and Penn National Gaming Inc.
A partnership called Chisholm Creek is proposing a $225 million casino complex in Mulvane, about 20 miles south of Wichita.
