Missouri Problem Gambling In The News

A couple of short stories published in the Kansas City Star today.

The first discusses the competition between cities (St. Louis and Kansas City) to host the 2007 National Conference on Problem Gambling. Missouri has already been selected as the host state, but which city has yet to be determined. The annual conference is sponsored by the National Council on Problem Gambling.

The other is an update to a story I have brought here before. The gaming industry wants to remove the current $500.00 per day loss limit per casino. A "rider" was attached to another bill unrelated to gambling. The measure was fillibustered and never voted upon. Now the discussion will have to wait until the next legislative session.
