00:00Pat, I am surprised, man, I am, I'm surprised that they, that Missouri didn't get online
00:06for the Super Bowl.
00:07I'm surprised to read over at LegalSportsReport.com that this ain't going to happen by March.
00:12So you know, we're going to start moving the goalposts, so to speak, for them.
00:15Maybe it is football season for them.
00:17Yeah, I mean, we, yeah, so Missourians voted to approve it in November and, you know, generally
00:23that is, hey, it's legal, let's go bat.
00:26But you know, there does have to be all that framework that has to be put into place to
00:29make sure it's regulated and responsible and, and all the jazz like that.
00:34And so the Missouri Gaming Commission, as soon as it was certified, and it took till
00:38December to be certified, because that's how the political system works.
00:43You know, they got to work and they turned it around in roughly two months or a little
00:48less than two months to make sure everything's kind of put together nicely.
00:51It is now in Governor Mike Kehoe's hands.
00:55It also has to pass through the Secretary of State.
00:57They just have to give it their A-OKs and then make sure it's all good there.
01:01And it goes through a 30-day public comment period where you're going to see some operators
01:07and responsible gambling, gambling people come out and say, hey, we need these things
01:11tweaked here and there, and one more final approval.
01:14And then we'll, we'll see the licensing process and there is a stipulation in there pretty
01:18much that can get things live pretty much from the get go.
01:22To your point, that's not going to happen before March Madness, unfortunately, for those
01:26in Missouri.
01:27I missed a great opportunity this weekend that the sportsbooks probably would have loved
01:32in Missouri.
01:33But yeah, I mean, from as soon as it was certified and the Missouri Gaming Commission started
01:38talking about it and then putting it together, they've said late spring, early summer.
01:43So I think, you know, you'll get some good baseball betting in Missouri this summer and
01:47then, of course, get going for the football season.
