A former top Station Casino executive is part of a group that hopes to beat out Station in buying the Flamingo Hilton Casino. We have officially informed Hilton that we are interested. Station's bid was accepted by the Flamingo's owner, pending regulatory approval. If Station is allowed to take over the Flamingo, Canfora said, the company would dominate the Kansas City market with nearly 60 percent of the total gambling capacity.
Competition is good for everybody.
Canfora said he could not yet disclose those names. That lawsuit was settled under a confidentiality agreement that prohibits either side from disclosing terms. This is business. Canfora said the group intended to lobby the Kansas City Port Authority and the Gaming Commission to reject the sale to Station as anti-competitive. If Station's offer for the Flamingo is approved, the company would control five of Missouri's 15 active casino licenses and three of the six operating riverboats in Kansas City.
