Gross gaming revenue for Nebraska’s four commercial casinos totaled $21.1 million in April, rising from last year’s $8.2 million when only one casino in the state was fully operating.
The figures, published by the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission, revealed that electronic gaming devices amounted to $18.1 million of gross gaming revenue. Electronic table games reported $429,943, table games generated $2 million, and retail sportsbooks yielded $496,207.
Of the four casinos, WarHorse Casino Lincoln, Grand Island Casino & Resort, Harrah’s Columbus, and WarHorse Casino Omaha each produced year-over-year revenue increases. WarHorse Casino Omaha and Harrah’s Columbus, both with limited operations in April 2024, had the most significant increases, rising from $40,117 to $6.8 million and $1,551 to $2.3 million, respectively.
Grand Island rose from $3.4 million to $5.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 59.1%, while WarHorse Casino Lincoln increased from $4.8 million to $6.8 million, a year-over-year rise of 33.2%.
Nebraska’s four commercial casinos are attached to racetrack facilities and also offer in-person sports wagering. Online wagering and igaming are not legal in the state. A bill that would have legalized online sports betting was abandoned in April when it became clear that it did not have the support necessary to become law.
