TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Gov. Sebelius says she hopes the gambling
industry in Kansas and nationwide has a bright future.
During a news conference Tuesday, Sebelius said she was disappointed that Harrah's Entertainment decided to withdraw its
application to manage a state-owned casino in Sumner County.
Harrah's is the second firm to pull its application with the state to operate one of four state casinos. In September, Penn National Gaming Inc. withdrew from its Cherokee County project.
Sebelius says the gambling industry has been affected by national economic troubles. But she is still hoping that new applicants will step forward to operate the Sumner and Cherokee projects.
Two other applications have been approved for Ford and Wyandotte counties.

Looks like Kathy lost her bet. Rolled a 7 before point. Disappointment is a part of gambling, get used to it.
