The approval of the devices marks a significant milestone for the casino and fulfilled the final requirement for the casino’s sportsbook and sports betting kiosks to begin accepting wagers Thursday afternoon.

“We are thrilled to announce that sports wagering has been authorized in Nebraska, bringing an exciting new dimension to Nebraska’s entertainment offerings,” Tom Sage, Executive Director of the NRGC, said. “However, it is important to note that currently, the only legal sports betting venue in the state is the WarHorse Lincoln facility. We urge the public to refrain from engaging in sports betting through non-regulated online and mobile platforms, as it remains illegal in Nebraska. Furthermore, these illegal wagers do not contribute any tax revenue to our state.”
