LINCOLN- Nebraska's first state-licensed casino will open tomorrow, after clearing its final hurdle this afternoon. The Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission voted to grant a permanent gaming license to WarrHorse Lincoln, which will open its temporary casino at the Lincoln Race Course tomorrow.

The unanimous approval comes almost two years after Nebraska voted overwhelmingly to support a ballot initiative to allow casino gambling in the state.

WarHorse worked closely with the Racing and Gaming Commission to clear up a "sensitive security measure" at the meeting this morning, allowing it to finally open.

The Commission was set to vote on the license last week during a Zoom meeting, but the meeting was canceled out of concern for several commissioners worried about making such an important decision in a virtual setting. Commission Chairman Dennis Lee stated that "it was an easy concern to address. We just moved it 10 days."

The temporary casino will be open tomorrow, Sept. 24th, at 10am, and is located on the Lincoln Race Course near U.S. 77 and West Denton Road.
