The commission is set to meet tomorrow afternoon, where it’s expected to grant WarHorse a gaming license for Lincoln. The only remaining hurdle, Morgan explained, is gaining final approval from the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission. Lance Morgan, president and CEO of Ho-Chunk Inc., the economic arm of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and operator of WarHorse, told the Nebraska Examiner this week that the interim facility is ready to go. Though WarHorse Lincoln won’t be ready for at least another 18 months, the casino hopes to open a temporary gaming space this weekend. The gaming floor will complement a 200-room hotel, convention and meeting space, multiple restaurants, and live and simulcast horse racing. Once completed, expected sometime in late 2024, the casino will feature about 1,300 slot machine and table game positions, plus a sportsbook. WarHorse Gaming is spending more than $200 million to transform the Lincoln Race Course into WarHorse Casino Lincoln. The Lincoln and Omaha facilities are being developed first, with the association’s South Sioux City track set for redevelopment at a later date. WarHorse is overseeing the racino-to-casino overhaul at each of the NHBPA’s three racetracks.
