WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission received an application from Boyd Gaming Corporation on Tuesday to develop and operate a new historical horse-racing gaming facility in Park City.

A news release from Boyd Gaming Commission says it proposed to develop a new $160 million gaming entertainment facility off Interstate 135 in Park City.

The facility, which would be called Diamond Jo Park City Casino, would feature 1,000 historical horse-racing units, meaning gamblers would bet on races that have already finished.
