The state agency that governs whether Nebraska needs more racetrack/casinos decided Friday that it needs more information before it can make that decision.
The move delivered a blow to several cities across the state — a list that now includes Fremont — that are seeking to join the state’s six existing racetracks in offering casino gaming in their communities.
The decision by the State Racing and Gaming Commission also served to delay consideration of moving a racing license from a quarterhorse track in Hastings to a proposed new track/casino in Ogallala, which would be the state’s first casino west of Grand Island.
