KIRKSVILLE, Mo. — The Missouri Gaming Commission held a sports wagering hearing on Thursday that focused on gathering feedback from the public, but no one from the public showed up to comment.
The main talking point of the hearing was to discuss the types of sportsbook licenses Missouri is offering.
