JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI – Missouri voters passed new gambling regulations Tuesday that lifted the states loss limits law, raised casino taxes, and limited the total number of licensed casino. The margin was 56 to 44 percent.
LOSS LIMIT
Missouri had a $500 limit for losses over any two-hour period on its riverboat
casinos. The intent was to protect unlucky gamblers from harmful losses, but the
unintended consequence was the loss of gamblers to casinos in surrounding
states. Increased competition is coming from Kansas and Oklahoma, so voters
removed to loss limit law to retain state revenues.
TAXES
Taxes on casinos were raised from 20 percent to 21 percent.
MAXIMUM CASINOS
A maximum of 13 casinos is now the law which is the current number of existing
casinos already licensed in the state. This number includes the St. Louis casino
under construction.
