In September, Lincoln's WarHorse casino opened a temporary facility with 433 slot machines.
WarHorse Gaming is an entity formed by Ho-Chunk Inc. -the economic development arm of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska- and the Nebraska Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association to launch WarHorse casinos in Lincoln and Omaha. WarHorse Gamingannounced Tuesday its plans to start construction on its Omaha casino, in Nebraska, in June this year and partially open the new facility in June or July 2024.
