Nebraska’s four casinos collectively generated more than $29.1 million in gaming taxes throughout 2024, according to the Nebraska Gaming Commission. Taxes were sourced from WarHorse Gaming properties in Lincoln and Omaha, Grand Island Casino & Resort, and Harrah’s Columbus.
The collected taxes were divided among several funds, including the State General Fund, Compulsive Gamblers Assistance Fund, Property Tax Credit Cash Fund, and allocations for city and county governments. The Property Tax Credit Cash Fund received the largest share, securing nearly $20.4 million, providing significant relief for taxpayers.
WarHorse Gaming Lincoln emerged as the top contributor, delivering nearly $11.9 million in taxes. Grand Island Casino & Resort followed with close to $7.1 million, while WarHorse Gaming Omaha added approximately $6.6 million. Harrah’s Columbus, the newest addition, contributed just under $3.7 million after its full opening on May 17, 2024.
The opening of Caesars Race & Sportsbook at Harrah’s Columbus marked a milestone, introducing sports wagering in Nebraska under the Caesars brand. Despite its late entry, the property’s tax contribution highlighted its potential in the market.
Throughout the year, the State General Fund and Compulsive Gamblers Assistance Fund each received over $728,000 in taxes. City allocations totaled nearly $3.6 million, while county shares exceeded $3.7 million. WarHorse Gaming Lincoln accounted for $1.5 million of the county funds, the highest among all properties.
November proved to be the most lucrative month for gaming tax revenue, generating over $3.7 million. Despite a strong showing in December, which brought in nearly $3.6 million, November maintained its position as the year’s highest-grossing month.
Nebraska’s gaming industry continues to provide substantial economic benefits through tax contributions, funding critical state programs and offering property tax relief to residents.
