The investment group behind a stalled casino proposal at Lake of the Ozarks faces a $1.6 million federal lawsuit from the political consulting firm it hired to gather signatures for a Missouri constitutional amendment.
Missouri’s Constitution limits commercial casinos to sites on or near the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. Lake of the Ozarks Community Gaming has spent years trying to change that rule to build a casino resort near the Osage River, an effort that began in 2020.
The group’s first attempt came in 2024, partnering with Bally’s Casino Corp. on a resort east of Highway 54; Missouri voters rejected it, 52.5% to 47.5%.
