In referendum held in November, 1992, Missouri voters allowed riverboat gambling. That made Missouri the fifth state to approve this form of gambling.
When Missouri's riverboat casinos first began operating they were required to cruise and they all conducted two-hour gaming sessions with a $500 loss-limit on each session.
In early 2000 the law was changed to allow continuous boardings and cruising was no longer required. However, the state's loss limit provision is still in force and you are not allowed to lose more than $500 within a two-hour period. All casinos base that two-hour period beginning on even hour times: 12-2, 2-4, 4-6, 6-8, 8-10, 10-12.
The following table shows the payback percentages for each casino's electronic machines for the 12-month period from June 1, 2006 through May 31, 2007:
