The U.S. Department of Interior has approved the plan of the Wyandotte Nation to build a casino in Park City, Kansas. Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Tara Sweeney signed the approval May 20. 2020 and the Federal Register recorded it June 3, 2020. This authorizes the federal government to transfer the tribe's 10.24-acre casino site located in Park City into federal trust for the purpose of gaming. A temporary casino opened in Sept. 2020 while the Crosswinds Casino was under construction.

Kansas Lawsuit
In Augusr 2020 Kansas filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Interior in an effort to block construction of the Crosswinds Casino. The lawsuit is still pending and has been joined by the city of Mulvane and the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and the Sac and Fox Nation.

Crosswinds Casino opened March 2, 2021.
With the federal lawsuit still pending, the Wyandotte Nation proceeded and opened the Crosswinds Casino on March 2, 2021. The casino features 700 Class II slots and video gaming terminals. Poker and bingo are also planned but are delayed due to COVID-19 safety concerns. There is also a Bar & Cafe and a High Limit Lounge.

Future Plan
The Wyandotte Nation hopes to negotiate a gaming compact with the State of Kansas to allow Vegas-style (Class III) slot machines and table games.

Crosswinds Casino to proceed with original casino resort plans

July 18, 2023

After a three-year delay, the Wyandotte Nation will now proceed with building a larger Crosswinds Casino and expanding the Winds Hotel, which the tribe recently bought, renovated. and opened in May.

The full Crosswinds Casino Resort project has been on hold since 2020 when the State of Kansas sued the U.S. Department of the Interior to stop all construction of the project. That lawsuit lost in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals on July 3rd, when the court upheld the federal decision to authorize the casino.

A smaller Crosswinds Casino at a temporary location opened in Park City on March 2, 2021. Construction of the full Crosswinds Casino Resort will now proceed.

Chief Billy Friend of the Wyandotte Nation explained the plans for the casino resort:

"You know our plans are to build a casino resort. We have 10 and a half acres that has been taken in trust for gaming. and then we also have another 100, approximately 125 acres.

"It'll probably be a three to four phase project. Our first phase will probably be, you know, full blown casino with restaurants."

Friend said phase 1 construction will be completed within 2 years. Phase 2 construction will expand the Wind Hotel. The remaining land would be opened for additional development.
