Committee Asks Gov. Matt Blunt to Enforce Restrictions on Gambling
A legislative panel, led by Sen. John Loudon, R-Chesterfield, has written Gov, Matt Blunt on Monday, August 1, to get involved with a crackdown on illegal gambling such as arcade slot machines, raffles and sweepstakes. Their main concern is to enforce state gambling restrictions in Missouri.
Some bars and truck stops have video games similar to slot machines which offer prizes. But the gambling officials think that the state liquor and tobacco control lack authority to act. In a written statement submitted by Loudon said "Distributors of these devices are rarely prosecuted. That needs to change."
Loudon thinks the devices should be pushed through since they don't generate tax revenue and they prey on gambling addicts. The Joint Committee on Gaming and Wagering's letter has asked Blunt to review the illegal gambling in Missouri and to recommend an enforcement to push state gambling laws.
Spence Jackson, Blunt's spokesmans responded to the letter and has said, "The attorney general has jurisdiction over this matter and would be the proper source for a formal legal opinion."
An enforcement manager at the Missouri Gaming Commission, Ernest Raub said that the scope of the problem is elusive, there's no centralized report on illegal gambling activity or on such.
He said, "Many of these machines are designed, programmed to cheat the player. I don't think the state should be legalizing machines that cheat the player."
Raub also said that some states have found ways to permit such machines. Systems are allowed to regulate and for tax collection but are expensive to established.
