In 2017, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt 'issued an opinion saying that allowing a revote on Wichita’s Greyhound Park may breach the state’s contract with the Kansas Star casino in Mulvane,' potentially resulting in the casino needing to be repaid by the state for privilege fee or other damages. The temporary casino building was converted to its permanent use as a 3,400-seat arena, with an inaugural concert by Daughtry in June 2013. The property's hotel, a Hampton Inn, opened with 150 rooms in October 2012, and expanded to 300 rooms in August 2014. The permanent casino facility opened in December 2012.

The casino opened in a temporary facility on December 26, 2011. Harrah's again withdrew its application, and Peninsula Gaming was then selected as the winner over Global Gaming in December 2010. Harrah's and Peninsula Gaming each proposed a casino to be built in Mulvane, and Global Gaming proposed a casino in Wellington. Ī third bidding process opened in April 2010, again drawing three bidders. A new selection process opened in 2009 and drew three applicants, but all eventually withdrew their proposals. The first round of proposals in 2008 resulted in the selection of Harrah's Entertainment over two other bidders, but Harrah's then withdrew because of factors stemming from the financial crisis of 2007–2008. Casino proposals in Sumner County were divided between Wellington, the largest town in the county, and Mulvane, which was 14 miles closer to the area's main population center, Wichita. The referendum failed in Sedgwick County, leaving Sumner County as the area's only possible casino site. This requirement was waived for Sumner County because it had passed an advisory measure in favor of casino gaming in 2005. The law required a local referendum in each county before a casino could be approved.

One of the casinos was allocated to the Wichita area ( Sedgwick and Sumner Counties). In 2007, the state enacted the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act, which included authorization for four casinos to be built and managed by private developers, under contract with the Kansas Lottery. The resort includes the Kansas Star Arena, a multipurpose entertainment venue that hosts concerts, pageants, and various athletic and equestrian events. It is located on the west side of the I-35 ( Kansas Turnpike). The Kansas Star Casino is a casino and hotel in western Mulvane, Kansas, United States, owned and managed by Boyd Gaming.
