1. The conduct of or playing of any games on any licensed excursion gambling boat does not constitute gambling or gambling activities and the power of the division of liquor control to prohibit the licensing of any premises on which gambling or gambling activities are conducted or played, or to prohibit the consumption or sale of beer or alcoholic beverage on any premises, shall not apply where the premises is duly licensed by the commission. Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 311, the commission shall be the sole liquor licensing authority for liquor service aboard any excursion gambling boat and any facility neighboring an excursion gambling boat which is owned and operated by an excursion gambling boat licensee. The division of liquor control may issue a microbrewer’s license pursuant to section 311.195 for manufacturing on the premises of such boat or neighboring facility. The commission shall establish rules and regulations for the service of liquor on any premises licensed for the service of liquor by the commission, except that no rule or regulation adopted by the commission shall allow any person under the age of twenty-one to consume alcoholic beverages on any premises licensed for the service of liquor by the commission. All criminal provisions of chapter 311 shall be applicable to liquor service aboard any premises licensed for the service of liquor by the commission.

2. Judicial review of all commission decisions relating to excursion gambling boat operations shall be directly to the state court of appeals for the western district of Missouri and shall not be subject to the provisions of chapter 621.
