Land-Based Casinos: 21
Poker Rooms: 21

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.

Payout Returns in Missouri

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:

Ameristar Kansas City: 90.5%
Ameristar St. Charles: 91.0%
Argosy: 90.5%
Century Cape Girardeau: 89.8%
Century Caruthersville: 89.5%
Harrah’s Kansas City: 90.0%
Hollywood St. Louis: 90.8%
Isle of Capri – Boonville: 90.0%
Isle of Capri – Kansas City: 88.6%
Lumiére Place: 90.2%
Mark Twain: 89.2%

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!
