Missouri

Missouri’s definition of a contest of chance includes games in which chance materially affects the outcome even when players also use skill. The gambling definition also addresses what is risked and what the participant can receive. Missouri Revised Statutes §572.010

Access as of November 10, 2026. Neither operator names Missouri in its general territory exclusions. That leaves prize eligibility unconfirmed for both McLuck sweepstakes and Card Crush prize games: supplier rules and state law still apply. McLuck’s November 4 terms · Card Crush’s August 5 terms

Which outcome counts when a game has both skill and chance?

Suppose you win a five-card battle by changing your lineup but receive no cash award for the win. If only a separate spin produces qualifying coins, document what determines that spin. Evidence of skill in the battle alone says little about the role chance plays in the award.

For a game with a deck and a separate prize balance, trace the card and the coins through one example. For the distinctions between types of games, compare the models.

Next change: no future effective date for either model is confirmed in the sources cited here.
