    WarHorse Casino Lincoln

    WarHorse Gaming is a division of Ho-Chunk, Inc., the award-winning economic development corporation of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. WarHorse Gaming operates the WarHorse Casino in Lincoln (now open) as well as the WarHorse Casino, in Omaha. Both are in partnership with the Nebraska Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA). WarHorse Gaming will also operate WarHorse Casino in South Sioux City (opening TBD).

    Phase one in Lincoln opened September 24th, 2022, featuring over 9,000 square feet including 425 slot machines along with simulcast and live horse racing. 

    WarHorse Gaming Lincoln’s next phase of construction will begin shortly after the Omaha facility’s construction starts.
