Nebraska's first casino expected to open Saturday, pending likely OK of license

Nebraska's first casino is scheduled to open Saturday morning. The state gaming commission will consider final approval of the casino license of WarHorse Gaming Lincoln. Problem gamblers are being urged to file a "voluntary self-exclusion form" to bar their admission to the casinos. Construction will begin soon on a second casino at Omaha's Horseman's Park. A third Warhorse casino project is on the back burner. It will be pursued when the permanent casinos are completed in Lincoln and Omaha in late 2024. It's estimated that casino gambling could add $100 million statewide to a property tax relief program run by the state.
