State regulators to meet at new casino

? State regulators will meet later this week at Kansas Speedway to review the operations of a state-owned casino set to open there next month.

Hollywood Casino overlooks a turn of the NASCAR track in Kansas City, Kan. Its grand opening is scheduled for Feb. 3.

On Friday, members of the state Racing and Gaming Commission will review the casino’s plans for security, surveillance and financial and audit controls. They’ll also check its plans for preventing underage gambling.

The commission’s agenda says members will also discuss allowing the casino to admit customers for a controlled test of gambling operations before the grand opening.

Hollywood Casino will have 2,000 slot machines and 52 table games, along with five restaurants.
