The Missouri [[legislature]], with the approval of voters, adopted a '''gambling loss limit''' in an effort to prevent substantial losses by [[gambling]] patrons. The loss limit allows for a loss of no more than $500 every two hours, or $6000 per day. This loss limit does not limit recreational gambling but does clearly help reduce the impact felt from pathological and problem gamblers as well as help prevent illegal [[money laundering]]. | The Missouri [[legislature]], with the approval of voters, adopted a '''gambling loss limit''' in an effort to prevent substantial losses by [[gambling]] patrons.
