In the state of Missouri the state nickname is, “The Show Me State,” and this nickname may not really be recognized or taken seriously enough by the law makers of the state. Penal code 572.010 defines the limitations of gambling in Missouri State, and prohibits land based gambling facilities. These laws may seem, to many Missouri residents, as an act that is severely limiting and needlessly restrictive, and the state of Missouri is doing little to “show” its gambling loving residents that it intends to remove these unnecessary extremes in terms of gambling regulations any time in the near future.

New Hampshire, otherwise referred to as “The Granite State,” has established its laws regarding all gambling endeavors in the penal code 647.2. Conveniently enough, horse track wagering endeavors and dog racing endeavors are perfectly legal in New Hampshire. Yet, “The Granite State,” has established a solid stone wall for gamblers hoping to enjoy land based casinos because there are no gambling establishments legally permitted within the boundaries of New Hampshire. What’s even worse is that while a cruise offering gaming endeavors is welcomed into New Hampshire for up to two days time, any gaming options supplied to gambling hopefuls cannot be in operation while the cruise is docked.
