Kansas Star Casino

What Kansas Star Casino does

Kansas Star Casino is a gaming entertainment destination located in Mulvane, Kansas (south of Wichita in Sumner County), founded in 2011 and owned and operated by Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD), a publicly traded multi-property gaming operator. The property operates under license from the Kansas Lottery and offers over 1,200 slot machines, 43+ live-dealer table games (Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Baccarat, Three-Card Poker, Mississippi Stud, Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em), an Asian Gaming pit, a High Limit Table Games Room, and a sportsbook with 24/7 self-service kiosks. The integrated resort footprint also includes four dining venues (Woodfire Grille, Tin Lizard Bar & Grill, Cottonwood Bar, The Salted Lime, Globar), a 300-room Hampton Inn & Suites hotel directly connected to the casino, and 53,000 sq ft of event space spanning the Kansas Star Arena, an Event Center ballroom, executive boardrooms, and a 180-stall Equestrian Pavilion. Core technology consists of a casino gaming platform with linked progressive jackpot networks (e.g., Rakin' Bacon, Lion Link, Quick Hit Link), sportsbook betting systems with 24/7 kiosks, and event/venue management systems supporting the arena and meeting facilities.

The business operates a multi-stream transaction-based revenue model: gaming (slots, tables, sportsbook wagering), food and beverage sales, hotel accommodations, event and banquet services, ticketed entertainment, and the cross-property Boyd Rewards loyalty program that drives customer retention and tracks gaming activity. Distribution is predominantly physical/retail via the Mulvane campus, supplemented by Ticketmaster for arena ticketing, direct hotel booking, and Boyd-operated mobile apps (Boyd Rewards, Boyd Sports, Stardust Social Casino). The company serves four distinct customer segments: gaming entertainment consumers (slots, tables, sportsbook), event planners and corporate groups (weddings, conventions, trade shows, reunions), hotel guests and overnight visitors, and entertainment seekers attending Kansas Star Arena concerts and events, with marketing executed through Boyd Gaming's corporate brand, loyalty program, and social media channels.
