- Gambling companies pour campaign money into fight over Missouri video lottery bill
Gambling company J&J Ventures donated $200,000 to three political action committees supporting a Missouri bill to allow video lottery terminals. The funds went to PACs aligned with state Sen. Jason Bean, Sen. Curtis Trent, and Rep. Bill Hardwick, who are key legislators backing the proposal. J&J Ventures, the second-largest U.S. retail gambling terminal operator, has contributed over $3.5 million to Missouri campaigns since 2015.
