Chiefs Kingdom, circle Dec. 7 on your calendar, if you’re into sports gambling, because that’s the first Chiefs home game — a Sunday night showdown with the Houston Texans — where you’ll be able to place a wager from your seat at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, according to the Missouri Gaming Commission.
Chairwoman Jan Zimmerman said that is the earliest the Missouri Gaming Commission, or MGC, which approved its final rules for sports betting Tuesday, expects sportsbooks in the Show-Me State to go live at casinos and mobile apps. The extensive vetting process will prevent the rollout from happening sooner.
“The process is very detailed by design, because we want to make sure that the people who get a license in the state of Missouri are people who should get a license,” Zimmerman said.
