On Tuesday, WarHorse Gaming announced it plans to start construction on its Omaha casino in June and partially open its new casino in June or July of 2024.
“We’re grateful for the patience – particularly to the citizens of Omaha,” said Lynne McNally, CEO of Nebraska Horsemen. Nebraska Horsemen is partnering with Ho-Chunk Inc. to launch the WarHorse casinos in Lincoln and Omaha.
Lincoln’s WarHorse casino opened a temporary facility with 433 slot machines in September 2022. McNally said Omaha’s first opening next summer will be a supercharged version of Lincoln’s, with more than double the number of gaming positions.
The final facility is expected to open about four months later, by the end of 2024.
