Odds are long Missouri Senate will pass sports betting bill

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Chances that sports betting becomes legal in Missouri this year are getting smaller and smaller after the Senate debated for eight hours on the topic without taking a vote. Nearly all of Missouri's neighboring states allow sports wagering, which means many Missourians cross state lines to place a bet. The reason why the upper chamber hasn't been able to pass a bill to legalize it is because some members also want to approve slot machines for gas stations and bars. "If you want a stand-alone VLT bill, then you let it go first and then let's talk about sports betting," Sen. Karla May, D-St. Louis, said on the Senate floor. Video lottery terminals, better known as VLTs or gray machines, are currently unregulated in the state. Thousands of these video gaming machines, that pay a cash prize, are found in places like gas stations. While some want to legalize VLTs, others say the two topics should be kept separate. "The thing you heard last night ...
