Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Missouri

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.
