Residents will have to wait a little while longer to test their luck.

The temporary location of the Grand Island Casino Resort, inside the concourse at Fonner Park was suppose to be up and running before Thanksgiving; but that’s not going to happen.

Delays have pushed back the opening now to mid-December. Like many other construction projects taking place, there are a variety of issues.

“Well your supply chain issues of getting a variety of things that we need for the construction of the casino, labor issues,” said Fonner Park CEO, Chris Kotulak. “Fortunately we have many local contractors that we do business with here at Fonner Park. They provided everything they could at the time. Of course they have other customers as well, but we’re satisfied with the pace that we’re on right now.”
