Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Missouri

The minimum legal gambling age in Missouri depends upon the gambling activity:

• Land-Based Casinos: 21
• Poker Rooms: 21
• Bingo: 18
• Lottery: 18
• Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 18

Missouri was the fifth U.S. state to approve riverboat casinos. Gaming regulations for these casinos have evolved over time including:

• Eliminating cruising
• Removing closing boarding for two-hour-long gaming sessions
• Removal of the original $500 loss limit on each gaming session

The state of Missouri withholds 4% of winnings on $1,200 or more jackpots or cash prizes. Filing a tax return with Missouri can potentially return some of this withheld state income tax.
