Nebraska is beginning to see the dividends of the legalization of casinos. New data from the state racing commission shows the two Nebraska casinos helped set new contributions records for the state.

The two casinos, WarHorse Casino Lincoln and Grand Island Casino & Resort, combined for $1,341,686 in total gaming taxes, up from the $1,255,226 generated last month. In terms of dollar amount, each state fund easily surpassed the amount it received in January 2023.

Considering it has been open longer, it’s no surprise the WarHorse casino in Lincoln contributed more tax revenue than Grand Island… All contributions from the temporary Grand Island Casino were also up from January.
