A House bill that would allow video lottery game machines to be under the jurisdiction of the Missouri Lottery Commission passed 5-1 in a committee on Tuesday. House Bill 2088 would regulate lottery video games that are often found in places like gas stations. The lottery commission would issue licenses to game manufacturers, distributors, retailers and operators. The commission would not allow a single vendor to control or operate more than 25 percent of video lottery game terminals after December, 2025. Several amendments were made to the bill during the hearing. Bill sponsor Republican Dan Shaul proposed an amendment that would give 5 percent of the revenue to home dock cities, or the cities in Missouri with casinos, because of increased competition.
Shaul says operators of the machines, retailers and the state would receive 30% of funding each and 5% would go to cities where the transaction took place. A proposed amendment tolet voters decide the matterinthe November 2020 election failed. Shaul says as the bill goes forward, it will continue to be worked on.
