TOPEKA (AP) -- Penn National Gaming Inc. is awarded the contract to operate a state-owned casino in Cherokee County.

The Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board on Friday voted to award the 15-year contract to Penn, the only bidder for southeast Kansas. The Wyomissing, Pa.-based casino operator must pass a background check by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission before it can start.

The board also plans to decide who gets the operating contract for the Sumner County facility -- Harrah's Entertainment Inc., Marvel Gaming or Penn. Harrah's proposal is for a Mulvane site, while Marvel's and Penn's would be near Wellington.
