And if you have never been to a Missouri casino, I believe that they still only allow $500 loss per 2 hours. That means that before they will let you into the casino you HAVE to get a slot card. You then use the card to buy into the games. Only one person can use your card at a time. (Don't be like me and give a spare card to your wife and then find out that you can't buy in at a table because your wife is playing a slot somewhere.) Kind of silly rules but you get used to them. Harrahs even gets around them by having 2 "separate" boats tied together. If you lose too much on one boat you can go to the other until your 2 hours is up on the first one.
