Nebraska’s casinos had a record haul in March, with the Lincoln and Grand Island operations posting their best months ever.

WarHorse Casino in Lincoln brought in nearly $5.5 million in revenue last month, its best performance in its roughly 18 months of operation. The vast majority of that, nearly $5.2 million, came from slot machines, but the sportsbook also had a strong month.

WarHorse brought in more than $325,600 in sports betting revenue — second only to the more than $383,000 it generated in January, a month that featured a full slate of NFL playoff contests and New Year’s Day bowl games.

“March Madness was good for us,” said Jason Johnston, the casino’s sportsbook manager.
