LOSS LIMITS: Missouri is the only state that has a loss limit at its casinos. Gamblers can buy up to $500 in chips or tokens each two-hour period, or "excursion." The amount each patron loses is monitored through identification cards that are required to enter a casino. A study conducted for the Missouri Gaming Commission shows that most gamblers favor the loss limit but see the identification cards as an invasion of privacy.

HIGHER REVENUE: Proposition A raises the gambling tax from 20 percent to 21 percent. The state auditor's office projects that the tax increase, combined with the repeal of loss limits, would deliver an additional $105 million to $130 million per year for schools.
LEVEL PLAYING FIELD: Missouri casinos complain the limits put them at a "competitive disadvantage." A study suggests 30 percent of the state's gamblers go outside of Missouri to gamble because of the limits and tracking cards.
