Isn't it a Missouri law that they can't serve free alcohol??

Yep. The liquor law predates gambling -- nobody in the state can give away booze, for any reason, ever.

Personally, I think it's kind of silly to gripe about drink prices. Home-filled flask + soda fountain = cheap buzz, and that idea works at casinos, horse tracks, sporting events, movie theaters, school plays, and the office.
