The opening of WarHorse Casino in Omaha boosted state gaming tax revenue to its highest monthly take yet.
The bump was expected, of course, from the opening of the first and only state-sanctioned casino in Nebraska’s largest city.
The casino brought in nearly $6.9 million for August in gross gaming revenue and paid 20% of that, or about $1.4 million in gaming taxes, according to the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission.
