Nebraska’s two racetrack casinos continued to pull in more gamblers in March, setting an all-time record for gaming taxes. WarHorse Lincoln and the Grand Island Casino Resort combined to generate nearly $1.55 million in gaming taxes last month.
That was the highest amount recorded in the roughly seven months that the casinos have been operating in Nebraska, easily eclipsing the previous record of $1.34 million set in February.
The state’s casino tax rate is 20% of gross revenue, which means the two casinos combined to make more than $7.7 million before expenses in March.
WarHorse generated more than $956,000 in gaming taxes, eclipsing its previous record set in February by nearly $100,000.
