Starting Monday, Missourians could legally bet on sports either using mobile apps or by going in person to casinos.
At a sparsely populated Horseshoe Casino in downtown St. Louis on Monday afternoon, the Caesars Sportsbook was mostly deserted. But St. Louis resident Rick Porter braved the snow to place a bet in person. He was already at the casino to play poker nearby.
Porter was wagering on Monday night’s Giants-Patriots game.
“When you’re watching the game, it gives you something to cheer for,” Porter said.
He said he has driven across the river to Illinois several times to place bets, and he is glad he doesn’t have to do that anymore.
