Missouri House approves sports betting bills

Friday, March 25, 2022 at 10:13 AM

The state of Missouri is one step closer to legalizing sports wagering. The Missouri House overwhelming approved sports gaming legislation Thursday.

The House passed HB 2502 & 2556 with a vote of 115 to 33. The legislation must still be approved by the Senate before sports gaming could be legal in Missouri.  

There has been a unified push this legislative session from professional sports teams and casinos to legalize sports wagering.

“We’re very excited about the possibility of keeping Missourians in the state of Missouri to enjoy a product that they’re requesting,” said Mike Jerlecki, vice president and general manager for Hollywood and River City Casinos.  

He said guests routinely ask when sports wagering will be coming to Missouri.
