29. They are a significant source of revenue
Since the casinos began operating in Missouri in 1994, the industry has contributed more than $1 billion in taxes and admissions fees to state and local governments.

11,000 new jobs

Over $1 billion in school funding

Casino taxes were the sixth-largest source of income in Missouri last year, not counting federal money.
