Butler National casino management proposal approved

OLATHE, Kansas -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Butler National Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: BUKS), a recognized provider of professional management services in the gaming industry, announces that the Dodge City Commission and the Ford County Commission unanimously approved resolutions of endorsement of the Butler National Casino Management Proposal at their joint meeting on Friday, September 21, 2007.

On April 19, 2007, the State of Kansas enacted the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act. This law authorized state-owned gaming in Kansas within four designated gaming zones. These gaming zones are Northeast, Southeast, South Central and Southwest Kansas.

Butler National Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, Butler National Service Corporation, is in the process of completing an application for development and management of a Kansas-Owned Gaming Facility in the Southwest Gaming Zone. The Kansas Expanded Lottery Act requires that an applicant receive local government endorsement of its casino management proposal. Butler National presented its proposal to the Commissions at their joint meeting. Both the City Commission and the County Commission unanimously approved resolutions endorsing the Butler National proposal.

"We are working hard to tailor our proposal to match the desires of both the local community and the entire Southwest Kansas region. We appreciate the support and endorsement of Dodge City and Ford County as we move forward with a tremendous opportunity for tourism, economic development and gaming. We believe our management proposal will offer a strong destination facility to attract visitors from outside of Kansas and is in the best interest of Kansans," commented Clark D. Stewart, President and Chief Executive Officer.
