It will be interesting to see what happens. Do any other states have one of those loss limits?

We still love gambling and our personal circumstance with our eldest son and his family there make this the most logical destination for us to get our fix. We're very happy to read of the repeal of the limit, not because it will alter our play, we were never in any danger of bumping the $500 ceiling. We're happy because it should bring in bigger gamblers than us which will make all of the casinos here more viable allowing them to expand upon the services and quality they provide. On example is that we now have hope that the High Limit VP bar at Harrah's will be staffed 24/7 whereas it was only so on the weekends up until now. Go St. Louis!

This proposition also taxes the 13 MO casinos an additional $100 million per year, and put a freeze on no new casinos ever. That's taxation aimed at a very small segment of business. I would expect layoffs, decrease in services, fewer comps, higher hotel and food prices.. The casinos aren't going to absorb an extra $8 mil each per year in taxes and be happy about it. All the voters heard was more money for schools.

When we visited Harrah's in October, they must have had 1,000 signs placed throughout the grounds and the property supporting this amendment. Not only did they not fear it, they totally embraced it. The casinos invested millions in its passage! http://ballotpedia.org/wi...ouri_Proposition_A_(2008)

Have to use free money right? You still have to give them your players card to enter the casino at Harrah's. This surprised me because I had heard that was one thing the casinos would change, they wanted the high rollers to fly in to play without the loss limits and it was to be like Las Vegas. Can you see "whales" being flown in and going standing in line to get a player's card, I don't think so...... Well today we went to Ameristar, we both got 100.00 gift certificates from my son and daughter in law for Christmas and today nothing was planned. They did NOT have the place that they have had since it opened where you have to file in and they swipe your player's card to get in. I am such a creature of habit I did not try to play without my card just to see if it was needed to play the slots or video poker. My husband asked, Now are you happy you were so bugged about the card still being needed at Harrah's yet. Yes, I am happy about it now I told him! Maybe Harrah's will follow? Had a bit of luck too, after playing about 2 to 3 hours I was only down 5.00! YES!!!!!!! A win for me!!!!!!!! Kathy

That is a win in my book. "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest". Mark Twain

Diz...Maryland Heights is a suburb of St. Louis close to the airport. I went to that Harrahs about 11-12 yrs ago. I also went to Ameristar the day before but I think it was a different name back then. I also was at one in Kansas City but for the life of me can't remember what the name of it was.....Was there ever a Flamingo casino in KC? They gotta stop changing all the names of these casinos since I can't remember anything anymore.

I should really look these things up on the map, but I'm lazy. Karen, By the way, I saw an ad for Dilinger (sp?) that movie filmed around your area. I think it is supposed to be out in the spring, isn't it?

Maybe that article I read wasn't even correct.....who knows? I know a lot of people around here are anxiously awaiting it. I'm sure the parts that were filmed in my town for three days are probably going to take all of about 2 minutes in the film!

Across the river from Harrahs in St. Charles County is Ameristar Casino. I am not sure but I think it was a Stations casino before it was bought out by Ameristar. Stations Casino St. Charles maybe? Then if you drive to downtown St. Louis over highway 70 East I guess about 20 miles you will have the new Luminere Casino and Hotel and the President Casino on the old Admiral, a boat known to all St. Louisans over the age of 55 I would say. Across the river from the President in East St. Louis Illinois is the Casino Queen which is said to be the loosest of all the casinos. I have never been to any of the casinos downtown or the Queen. We keep saying we should go there but never think about it until later. Kathy

It is getting so I do not even want to go to the casino's here at all, told my husband it is senseless for us to go more than every other week, the week we do not go we can put the money to "money not lost to Harrah's or Ameristar" Save it for Tunica! Kathy (I sounded crabby didn't I? Sorry guys....)

I don't get that. I was only at that casino once a long time ago and it was when they still were charging to get in there. I think it was like $2 early and then a little more at night or something like that. I think it's ridiculous that we used to have to pay to lose money. I was paying the first couple times I went to the Empress in Joliet, IL (the one that just had the big fire) but after I had been there a couple times I didn't have to pay anymore. Guess they saw how much money I was losing each time and figured that covered the admission fee. Are you going to Tunica soon? Karen

We went to Harrah's (late Dec., rarely go to Harrah's) and they still had to have your card and swipe it to get in then and as of last week you still have to give them your card when you go in and they swipe it. Why I sure do not know. The state used to get a certain amount per person entering a casino from the casino, I do not know if that has changed or not. I never went to Missouri casinos when you had to pay to get in, NO WAY am I paying money to lose my money! Not sure when we are going to Tunica because we just went to Las Vegas in Feb., but we came home with all our money except what I ended up being down - 129.00 over 4 nights and 5 days, that is a win I think! Jim was exactly even for the trip. Kathy
