The first pulls of a slot machine at Nebraska’s first horse track casino will have to wait a few more days. The Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission on Monday canceled a meeting that had been scheduled for Tuesday over Zoom.
The main item on the agenda was consideration of a permanent license for the WarHorse Casino proposed for the Lincoln Race Course near U.S. 77 and West Denton Road.
WarHorse was prepared to open a temporary casino with 433 slot machines in the race course’s simulcast building on Sept. 19 if it had received a license Tuesday.
Commission Chairman Dennis Lee said a couple of members of the commission, who he did not name, expressed concerns about making the decision to grant the state’s first permanent casino license over a Zoom meeting.
