Kansas bingo scene shifts as casinos rise near Wichita and Wyandotte

The piece contrasts traditional Kansas bingo at the American Legion on West Sixth Street with newer casino developments. It notes pots of up to $1,000 and multiple $300 and $200 prizes, while describing the broader expansion of casino gambling in Kansas, including near Wichita, Dodge City, and Wyandotte County. It highlights the shift from pure bingo to more modern gambling venues and the economic allure of money won versus money earned.

DEA Extends K2 Ban Six Months Across U S

The Drug Enforcement Administration extends a six month ban on five chemicals in the smokable herbal blend K2 or Spice. Kansas banned these chemicals in 2010, prompting other states to follow, while makers created modified versions like K3. The DEA order, expiring Sept. 1, classifies the chemicals as Schedule 1, with federal penalties for possession, manufacturing, or trafficking. Local officials say Kansas has the strictest laws, reducing K2 occurrences, though variations persist.
