Editor's note: This article has been updated since its original publication to reflect that the city council denied a special use permit request necessary for the business to operate its gaming machines.
On Sept. 18, Leander City Council denied a special use permit requested by the team behind Ketta's Social. The permit would have allowed them to offer "internet-based games and sweepstakes systems."
On social media, Ketta's Social posted that the opening would be delayed.
Community Impact has reached out to Ketta's Social and will update this story as more information becomes available.

What they offer
Ketta’s Social aims to create a Vegas-style experience in Central Texas, according to owner Tersea Vota.
The social club will offer slots, video poker and other games across more than 40 machines. The location is not permitted to serve liquor, but patrons can bring their own alcohol while playing.
The club is for ages 18 and up, and a free membership is required to play.
More details
Vota named the parlor after her mother, Ketta, to pay tribute to her warm and welcoming nature.
“She was a big influence in my life, and I wanted to honor her by carrying forward the values she instilled in me—kindness, connection and bringing people joy,” Vota said.
Vota said she wants to use the new space to give back to the community.
“We want to use this as a way to support local causes, charities and people in need, so the success of the game room turns into a direct benefit for Leander itself,” she said. “This is about fun, connection and giving back in a real way.”
