My husband had to go to Kansas City frequently a few years ago for business and we would go to the casinos there. The one thing that struck me odd was you HAD to get a player's card. If you didn't insert that into the slots, they wouldn't work. I always thought of the player's card as something to get points for and to win prizes, but from what I understand in MO, they do that so if you reach a certain amount each day (cannot remember what it is - maybe $500), then you cannot play anymore.

Does anyone know the exact rule and if any other states do this? None of the ones I've ever been to have required you to put the card into the slot to play.

Here is the rule:

Thanks for the info! It just annoyed me to put my card in every time. I know it can be beneficial to the player, but we were only there once every blue moon and would only spend about $100 each. And like you said, losing $6,000 a day or $42,000 a week doesn't seem like a whole lot of help!
