Missouri small business voices

They want to unplug the machines. First, they should hear from the people who built their business around them.

Missouri's Attorney General is moving to remove no-chance games from gas stations, bars, restaurants, and corner stores across the state — calling them a top priority while violent crime goes uncovered. If those machines are part of why your small business is still open, your story matters. We're collecting them here.

01

Real revenue, real jobs

For thousands of small shops, NCGs are the margin between staying open and shutting the door. Tell us what they actually pay for.

02

Aggregated, not anonymous

We collect stories with your permission to share — names, towns, real businesses. Lawmakers and reporters listen to specifics.

03

Used where it counts

Stories will be packaged for state legislators, the press, and the public so the conversation isn't decided in one press conference.

Tell us

Your story. In your words.

Takes about 3 minutes. The more specific the better — payroll numbers, what closed without this revenue, what you'd lose tomorrow if the machines went away.
