Legalities of Slot Machine Ownership In Missouri

Is it legal to own a slot machine in Missouri?

Yes, as long as it is not used for commercial gambling purposes. Our games are for entertainment use and fun only. By removing mechanisms for winning/prize payouts, our games are exempt from the definition of a gambling device in Missouri. Our games, with the TITO option, give you a souvenir ticket which is of no use nor convertible to actual money anywhere. With the TITO option, it can be re-inserted to put credits back on the the machine for more entertainment/fun. We also remove locks, switches, and sensors that would normally be required of casino machines to make it easy to access the inner workings of your game.

What is considered a 'gambling device' in Missouri?

A machine that can provide something of value based on chance. This includes money or items that can be exchanged for money. Certainly, our games do not meet this requirement.

Are there any restrictions for home use slot machines in Missouri?

It is allowed to purchase slot machines for home use in Missouri, as long as it is not used for gambling purposes. Our games are strictly for entertainment purposes only and no more a gambling device than a pinball machine or arcade game. “CLAW” machines (that give out stuffy/prizes) and Coin-Pushers (both legal in MO) are more of a gambling device than our slots are.

What about machines that spit out coins?

Games that have hoppers and give out coins can be considered gambling devices in the state of Missouri. However, games older than 30-years are exempt from this classification. If we have any games with hoppers in stock, they are always 30 years old or older.
