Casino goers in Missouri may no longer have to hope on a riverboat casino for their next casino outing. This is because If the Lake of the Ozarks Casino is approved by the voters of Missouri, the state will see the development of a new resort. One that will include a hotel, casino, spa, restaurants, shops, and a convention center, among other amenities. This project represents a departure from the traditional riverboat model that many other casinos in the state still adhere to.

More than 320,000 voters in Missouri have signed a petition to approve a casino at Lake of the Ozarks. After four unsuccessful attempts to get the casino question on the ballot, it may finally go to the voters.

In Missouri, casinos can only be built near the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, so a constitutional amendment is needed for other waterways to allow gaming. In addition, online casinos are also not legal which makes it tougher for casino players to enjoy their pastime.

The state will now verify the signatures, with approximately 173,000 certified signatures required to proceed to the ballot.

If approved by Missouri voters, the Lake of the Ozarks casino will bring a new resort with a hotel, casino, spa, restaurants, shops, and a convention center, a departure from the traditional riverboat model.

Missouri defines casinos as "excursion gambling boats," but the term is broadly interpreted, allowing for non-floating facilities. In 2021, the definition was amended to include shore-based casinos within 1,000 feet of the Missouri or Mississippi River, with a minimum of 2,000 gallons of water on-site.

According to sportsbook price per head experts, the Panthers were here before. They went on to win Game 4 on the road after taking a 3-0 lead against the Carolina Hurricanes in last year's Eastern Conference Final. With 29 seasons under their belts, it was the first sweep in franchise history.

This approach adds an element of suspense to the upcoming game.
