Attorney General Opinion No.

Richard Petersen-Klein Executive Director Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission

700 SW Harrison St., Suite 500 Topeka, KS 66603

Dear Mr. Petersen-Klein:

In your capacity as the Executive Director of the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission (KRGC), you ask us to opine on two issues:

1. Whether the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act (KELA) prohibits only employees and contractors of casinos from loaning money or extending credit to patrons; and

2. Whether certain check-cashing services would be a form of loan or extension of credit to a casino patron.

We address each of these issues in turn.
