“Our folks are writing the rules and regulations as we speak,” said Jan Zimmerman, chair of the Missouri Gaming Commission.
Missouri Gaming Commission Chairman Jan Zimmerman is doing the work to bring sports betting to Missouri after voters approved it by a razor-thin margin. She said part of that rule-making process involves creating an application system for gambling licenses.
“With casino gambling, if someone is going to be working in a casino they have to be licensed by the Missouri Gaming Commission as well,” she said. ”So this application process really won’t be significantly different. There are lots of folks who will be affiliated and associated with sports betting that will need to be licensed.”
