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, closing boarding for two-hour-long gaming sessions, and 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.

*The purpose of this section is to inform the public of state gambling laws and how the laws might apply to various forms of gaming. It is not legal advice.

Payout Returns in Missouri

Restaurants at ameristar kansas city

Missouri state law has established an 80% lower limit for the theoretical payout on all gambling devices.

Actual return statistics are combined results from all electronic games including video poker, video keno, and slot machines. Monthly reports are under the gaming control board’s I Want To… section called View Slot Payout Percentages by Location.

The most recent monthly report at the time of this writing is from January 2020.

This extensive monthly return reports statistics by casino and slot machine denomination. In January 2020, the overall slots return percentage for all thirteen Missouri riverboat casinos was 90.4%.

Further, for January 2020, the individual monthly return for each riverboat casino was:

  1. Ameristar Kansas City: 90.5%
  2. Ameristar St. Charles: 91.0%
  3. Argosy: 90.5%
  4. Century Cape Girardeau: 89.8%
  5. Century Caruthersville: 89.5%

By slot machine denominations, the highest returns went to Ameristar Kansas City with 107.9% payout on their $100 machines followed by 100.9% for $25 machines at Lumiére Place. Both high returns were no doubt due to a single large jackpot win during January.

The lowest returns by slot machine denomination went to Hollywood with a 76.4% for their $100 machines followed by 81.7% at River City. And, yes, 76.4% is less than the state’s minimum theoretical payout of 80%.

It would be best to avoid these slot machine denominations at these casinos as well as any other low-return slot machine denominations in Missouri. Be sure to check the most recent return statistics prior to visiting casinos in Missouri!

Summary of Missouri Slot Machine Casino Gambling in 2020

Missouri slot machine casino gambling consists of thirteen riverboat casinos having a total of 16,293 slot machines. Missouri’s tribes are unable to offer tribal casinos.

State gaming regulations established an 80% minimum theoretical payout for all gaming devices including slot machines, video poker, and video keno. Detailed return statistics are publicly available by month, casino, and slot machine denomination.

Otherwise, the Isle of Capri Casino Hotel – Cape Girardeau has become the Century Casino Cape Girardeau. Further, Century Casino also purchased Lady Luck Caruthersville and subsequently renamed it Century Casino Caruthersville.
