Butler National Corporation’s Boot Hill Casino & Resort Extends Sports Wagering Agreement With Kansas Lottery And Draftkings

Extension Continues Boot Hill’s Sports Wagering Management Through 2030

New Century, Kansas, August 20, 2026 – Butler National Corporation (OTCQX: BUKS) announces that the Boot Hill Casino & Resort, managed by Butler National subsidiary BHCMC, LLC (“Boot Hill Casino”), executed two agreements extending existing sports wagering contract relationships through 2030.

Butler National received a three-year extension of its Lottery Sports Wagering Management Contract with the Kansas Lottery, which provides for Boot Hill Casino’s management of sports wagering operations conducted through the Boot Hill Casino & Resort. In 2022, the State of Kansas authorized Kansas Lottery-owned and operated sports wagering, which is managed by the state’s lottery gaming facility managers. The initial sports wager management contract was a five-year agreement. The newly executed extension maintains the same material terms of the original agreement and extends Boot Hill’s management of sports wagering through 2030.

In connection with the Kansas Lottery contract extension, Boot Hill Casino and DraftKings have agreed to amend and extend for ten years their sports wagering arrangement, which facilitates online and mobile sports wagering. The extension includes updated commercial terms that reflect current market conditions. The DraftKings agreement is subject to continuing Boot Hill Casino management authority under the agreement with the Kansas Lottery.

Ryan Deutsch, General Manager of Boot Hill Casino & Resort, commented: “We appreciate the Kansas Lottery’s continued confidence in Boot Hill Casino & Resort. We are also very pleased to extend our successful relationship with DraftKings. Sports wagering has become an important component of our entertainment offering and continues to attract visitors from across Kansas and neighboring states. This extension provides long-term stability for our sports wagering platform and allows us to continue investing in the guest experience and sportsbook operations.”

Deutsch added: “Boot Hill remains focused on driving tourism, entertainment, and economic activity in Southwest Kansas while generating meaningful revenue for the State of Kansas. We are proud of the role our property plays in supporting both objectives.”
