According to figures from the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission, WarHorse Casino in Lincoln and Grand Island Casino Resort combined to produce more than $1.34 million in gaming taxes last month, the highest amount so far in the state’s brand-new casino industry.

Based on the casino tax rate of 20% of gross revenue, that means the two casinos made about $6.7 million before expenses during February.

WarHorse Casino generated the bulk of the tax money, about $858,000.
