Can you carry, open or Concealed weapon at a casino?
This is the only thing I have found and it says riverboat gambling operation, but nothing about a regular casino.
Any riverboat gambling operation accessible by the public without the consent of the owner or manager pursuant to rules promulgated by the gaming commission. Possession of a firearm in a vehicle on the premises of a riverboat gambling operation shall not be a criminal offense so long as the firearm is not removed from the vehicle or brandished while the vehicle is on the premises;
If you want to be the court test case, give it a try, you'll need a lawyer and a lot of cash!
If it is not a criminal offense there shouldn't be a court test, just a "Please can you leave before we call the police" , or the police come and fine you $100 dollars.
just called the St. Charles police dept. and St. Charles is not an open carry city, so that takes OC of the table.

That is me in the video and that was the 1st and last time I was detained in St Charles City. I still OC there and have had LEO's look at me and my firearm and just keep on walking. Who ever told someone that OC was illegal in St Charles was wrong.

They are all riverboat casinos in Missouri according to the law and the gaming commission. They are all built on the water.
Last year we had a room on the riverfront and went to the boat. There was no way I was going there and back after dark without a gun. I took my LCP and had no problems.Correct. Every casino in Missouri is a "riverboat gambling operation", and ALL of them come under authority of the Gaming Commission. The Gaming Commission (not the state) PROHIBITS firearms in casinos. Period. They will not even allow an off-duty LEO in with a gun, and all of them I've been in (which, admittedly, is only a few), have metal detectors that you must walk through to enter which are staffed by security personnel. I'm willing to wager that you can forget about OC OR CC in any casino in this state.

YMMV .
I would say thatalot of them may have them installed. This one ( Ameristar ) didn't at the time. I went to Boonville this year and also took the LCP since I got to thinking about it last night . I had forgotten about that. It was this past spring.Well there you go. I'm assuming they did NOT have metal detectors at the door. I've never been to any of the boats in STL city. The two I've been two in Earth City BOTH had metal detectors and security at the door. Of course, I haven't been to any casino in about 6 years, so that may have changed.
