“Missouri is missing out on significant financial resources for veterans, classrooms, Main Street small businesses and local communities because of inaction on video lottery terminals,” said Sen. Hoskins. “Now is the time for the Missouri Legislature to take action and enact comprehensive gaming legislation that includes sports wagering and video lottery terminals, so we can benefit communities across Missouri, not just a handful of gaming locations in the state.”

Legislation Details

Allows for mobile wagering on sports with licenses held by casinos and professional sports teams.

Gives the Missouri Lottery Commission the authority to issue licenses for video lottery terminals (VLTs).

Authorizes a limited number of VLTs in veterans’ halls and posts, bars and restaurants licensed to sell liquor by the drink and truck stops.

Equally divides revenue generated by video lottery gaming with 32% going to organizations and businesses that place VLTs in their locations, including veterans organizations and small businesses; 32% going to the operators of VLTs; 32% going to Missouri’s public elementary, secondary and higher education institutions; and 4% going to local communities in which businesses and organizations with VLTs are located.
