If Missouri voters approve a statewide sports betting measure on Tuesday, Texas will be the only state bordering Oklahoma that has not legalized it.
And Oklahoma, regardless of the Missouri vote, with 143 casinos — more than 10 times the number in Missouri — will remain among a handful of states that have taken no action since a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down a federal ban on sports betting outside of Nevada.
Missouri Amendment 2 would legalize sports betting in the Show-me State, and it has the backing of all major sports franchises located there, including the Chiefs and Royals in Kansas City, and the Cardinals and Blues in St. Louis.
