Modifies provisions relating to the Missouri Gaming Commission
HB 2919 updates Missouri's regulations for excursion gambling boats by defining the Missouri Gaming Commission's authority to license operators, set standards, and enforce rules. It requires 80% minimum payout rates on gambling devices, mandates cashless wagering systems (using tokens/chips), and gives patrons the option to opt out of marketing data collection. The bill also establishes a $2 admission fee (split between the Gaming Commission and the local city/county), requires affirmative action plans for minority employment at license renewals, and prohibits limits on wager amounts or losses. These changes directly affect boat operators, licensees, and patrons using Missouri's riverboat gambling facilities.
