HB 1250 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies the definition of slot machine, as it relates to gambling offenses

HB 1250 updates the legal definition of "slot machine" to include devices with a preset payout rate (even if players cannot view outcomes), devices that can be converted to function as slot machines, and machines that deliver value based on chance. This change clarifies which gambling devices fall under existing regulations, directly affecting casinos, gambling operators, and law enforcement agencies responsible for enforcing gambling laws. The bill does not create new penalties but ensures devices with fixed payout structures or conversion potential are properly classified under current gambling statutes. It focuses on precise definition rather than altering enforcement or licensing procedures.
