Lincoln’s WarHorse Casino followed up a phenomenal first week with an equally solid first full month.
According to information released Monday by the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission, the casino generated just over $854,000 in gaming tax revenue in October.
The state’s gaming tax is 20% of revenue, which means WarHorse made just north of $4.27 million last month. Local casino officials have declined to disclose what their 433 slot machines are paying out on average, and Racing and Gaming Commission officials have not yet made that information public, though they have said they plan to.
Assuming a 90% average payout would mean visitors to the casino dropped nearly $43 million, or close to $1.4 million a day, into slot machines during October.
