"At issue in U.S. District Court in Topeka is whether Kansas Penn Gaming LLC, whose sole member is Penn National, owes $37.5 million to HV Properties of Kansas, which wanted to sell about 200 acres for the casino site in the southeast corner of the state.

"...On Monday, (HV Properties attorney) Bill Modrcin filed a motion maintaining that Penn violated its agreement and asking the court to award HV the full $37.5 million..."
