Gambling law in Missouri: what to know before you go

Missouri's constitution allows casino gambling only on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, which is why every licensed casino is technically a riverboat. The rules let those boats sit in artificial basins of water within 1,000 feet of the main channel, and later changes allowed nonfloating facilities built over water, so many Missouri casinos never leave the dock and look like ordinary buildings. The venues cluster around Kansas City and St. Louis, with others in river towns such as St. Joseph, Boonville, Caruthersville and Cape Girardeau. There are no tribal casinos in the state.

• Regulator: the Missouri Gaming Commission licenses every casino and, since 2025, sports wagering.
• Minimum age: 21 at all casinos. There are no tribal casinos in Missouri.
• Casino types: commercial riverboat casinos on or within 1,000 feet of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
• Sports betting is legal, both retail and online, since December 1, 2025, after voters approved Amendment 2 in 2024. Online casino games are not.
