Show Notes
Missouris largest operator of skill-based gaming machines, Torch Electronics, has suspended operations following pressure from Attorney General Catherine Hanaway, who deems them illegal gambling devices. Hanaways office, along with U.S. attorneys, conducted a joint probe, leading to the shutdown of Torchs sixteen thousand machines out of the states twenty-five thousand. The move has sparked reactions from both sides, with Hanaway asserting no gray market and Jackson Countys prosecutor giving business owners until July 1, 2026, to remove the remaining machines or face charges. Torch had planned to appeal a court ruling but has since stood down. Meanwhile, a bill to regulate these machines is stalled in the Senate, with critics calling for a complete ban.
