The Fixed Point That Answers Most Distance Questions
The documented straight-line distance from Kansas Crossing Casino to Tulsa is 107.9 miles, measured great-circle. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any route.
The casino's position is fixed at coordinates 37.34386 north and -94.70929 west, in Pittsburg, Kansas. A reader's starting point is the only variable in any distance calculation, which is why the reference table below uses fixed cities rather than any individual's location.

Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Never Match
A great-circle line ignores terrain, water, road networks, and political boundaries. The road system follows river crossings, mountain passes, urban grids, and interstate corridors that were laid out for reasons other than shortest distance.
Between Pittsburg, Kansas and most reference points in the table, the road route crosses at least one state line and follows highways that bend around population centers and geographic barriers. The straight-line figure is therefore a floor, not a travel estimate.
This article does not name specific highways, exits, or turn-by-turn instructions. A reader who wants road mileage should measure the route in a mapping tool using the venue's fixed coordinates and their own starting point.
The Venue's Position Within Kansas and the Region
Kansas Crossing Casino sits in Pittsburg, Kansas, in the southeastern part of the state. Using only the documented coordinates, the venue is south of Kansas City, southwest of St. Louis, north of Tulsa, and east of Wichita's longitude.
The property opened in 2017 and is owned by Equity Ventures, with JNB Gaming and Laham Development also named in publicly published reference sources as ownership participants. The venue's documented facility figures include 625 slot machines and 16 table games at the time of opening, though such counts are revised as properties expand or reconfigure.
Pittsburg's position near the Kansas-Missouri-Oklahoma border region means that a visitor's actual route may cross state lines even when the straight-line distance stays within Kansas. State boundaries do not affect great-circle measurement, but they do affect road travel and any applicable travel planning.
When the Question Includes "From Me" or "My Location"
The venue's position is fixed. A reader's position is not. No article can state a distance from an unspecified starting point, and this one will not guess a city or assume a reader's origin.
The correct method is to take the venue's documented coordinates, 37.34386 north and -94.70929 west, and measure from the reader's own coordinates in any mapping tool. The reference table above gives the reader a sense of scale against fixed cities, but it cannot substitute for a measurement from the reader's actual location.
If a reader's specific city is not in the table, this article cannot measure that specific pair. The table contains every documented pairing available for this venue.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Facility figures such as slot machine counts and table game counts change over time as properties renovate or expand. The figures in this article come from publicly published reference sources tied to the venue's 2017 opening and should be treated as a documented point in time, not a live count.
Current operating hours, current machine counts, current table game counts, and any current promotion or entry policy are not published in this article. The property's own website and guest services line are the authoritative channels for those live details.
Road conditions, construction, and border crossings can change a route between the time a reader plans and the time they travel. Confirm the route in a current mapping tool close to the departure date.
FAQ
Is the straight-line distance the same as the driving distance?
No. Every figure in this article is a great-circle measurement between two coordinate pairs. Road distance is always longer because roads follow terrain, water crossings, and existing corridors. This article does not publish road mileage or driving time for any route.
How many slot machines does Kansas Crossing Casino have?
Publicly published reference sources tied to the venue's 2017 opening document 625 slot machines and 16 table games. These figures describe a documented point in time. Current counts may differ and should be confirmed through the property's own published materials.
How do I measure the distance from my own location?
Use the venue's fixed coordinates, 37.34386 north and -94.70929 west, as the destination in any mapping tool. Enter your own starting point. The tool will return a road distance and route. The reference table in this article gives scale against fixed cities but cannot measure from an unspecified reader location.
