The roughly $250 million facility will include a restaurant, bar, and parking garage.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">WarHorse Omaha will operate at 6303 Q Street. Subsequent planned expansion phases include additional gaming floor space, an outdoor gaming patio where smoking will be allowed, and a boutique hotel with 200 guestrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The 2020 statewide ballot referendum Nebraskans passed authorizing the state\u2019s horse racetracks to operate slot machines, table games, and sportsbooks applied the state\u2019s Clean Indoor Act that prohibits indoor tobacco smoking in most public places and businesses to the casino venues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WarHorse_Construction_Progress\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>WarHorse Construction Progress<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Following the successful 2020 vote, the Nebraska Horsemen\u2019s Benevolent and Protective Association (NHBPA) partnered with WarHorse Gaming to redevelop its racetracks into casinos. Along with Horsemen\u2019s Park, WarHorse is building a casino at the association\u2019s Lincoln Race Course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">WarHorse Casino Lincoln is a similarly sized project and investment. The Lincoln casino is set to open this fall with a smaller casino with 430 slots, plus sports betting and parimutuel wagering, but unlike the Omaha destination, the Lincoln property will open with a 220-room hotel and an events center. WarHorse Lincoln will additionally have a fine-dining steakhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A condition of the 2020 referendum is that the gaming facilities are located next to an active track. To satisfy the rule, Horsemen\u2019s Park has scheduled September 29 as its lone day of live racing in 2024. The rebranded Lincoln Race Course, now called Legacy Downs at WarHorse Casino Lincoln, will hold four days of racing on September 20, 21, 27, and 28.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The NHBPA additionally controls the shuttered Atokad Downs in South Sioux City. The NHBPA and WarHorse Gaming hope to redevelop that track in the coming years into a casino with live racing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The NHBPA plans to increase the number of live racing dates in the years ahead after construction finishes on the two casinos. The goal is to schedule 15 race days annually at Legacy Downs and five per year at Horsemen\u2019s Park.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gaming_Taking_Hold\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Gaming Taking Hold<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">WarHorse has operated a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/nebraska-casinos-win-89m-generate-18m-taxes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">temporary gaming facility<\/a> in Lincoln since Sept. 24, 2022.
