The commercial casinos in Nebraska are experiencing a significant growth spurt, with WarHorse Casino Omaha's recent expansion playing a pivotal role in this momentum.
In May 2025, WarHorse Casino Omaha expanded its facility, adding more gaming space, new games, a smoking area, and a skywalk, enhancing the overall gaming experience [3]. This expansion has had a substantial impact on Nebraska's casino revenue, contributing to a 121% year-over-year increase in casino revenues for June 2025 statewide [4].
WarHorse Casino Omaha, part of the state's network of racetrack casinos, continues to see strong performance. Other Nebraska casinos, including WarHorse Lincoln and Grand Island, have also reported record-breaking revenue figures earlier in the year [1].
Grand Island Casino generated $4.6 million in June 2025, a 75.9% increase from its $2.6 million revenue in June 2024. WarHorse Casino Lincoln posted a 4.23% year-over-year revenue increase, totaling $6.2 million. However, WarHorse Casino Omaha's revenue surpassed both, with more than $7.7 million in June 2025 [1].
Interestingly, Harrah's Casino was the only one of the state's four casinos to see a revenue decrease, with a 7.8% drop from $2.2 million to $2.1 million in June 2025 compared to June 2024 [1].
The Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission reported these figures, which do not include any revenue from online or mobile gaming [2]. Nebraska's casinos generated over $20.7 million in gross gaming revenue in June 2025 [2].
WarHorse Casino Omaha saw a revenue rise of more than 8,543% year-over-year from June 2024, from $89,000 to $7.7 million [4]. This significant revenue growth is a testament to the success of the expansion and the casino's ongoing operations.
In conclusion, the expansion of WarHorse Casino Omaha has contributed to a surge in casino revenue across Nebraska. The casino's strong operational performance is a significant factor in the growth of Nebraska's commercial casino market.
