WarHorse Gaming said Thursday evening that their Omaha casino would be closed temporarily because the air-conditioning system was damaged during construction.
“No one was injured, and there was never any danger to our guests or employees,” Lance Morgan, president and CEO of Ho-Chunk Inc., WarHorse Gaming’s parent company, said in a news release. “Unfortunately, we need to temporarily close the casino to prevent damage to some of the electronic equipment in the facility.”
A timeline for repairs and reopening was not yet available as crews were still evaluating the damage that occurred to the water-based cooling system during the second phase of the casino’s construction.
