OKLAHOMA GROUP SAYS IT'S OUT AS PARTNER IN WOULD-BE NORTH PLATTE, GERING 'RACINOS'

NORTH PLATTE- A new horsetrack-casino combination in North Platte and Gering has lost its primary partner in proposing both.

Global Gaming Solutions LLC, a subsidiary of the Chickasaw Tribe of Oklahoma, told the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission it’s no longer involved in the two “racino” projects.

Executive Director Tom Sage said that Global Gaming told the commission as much in an email that was read into the record at the panel’s previous meeting.

The email included, "Global Gaming was no longer interested (in) or a party to the applications for Scottsbluff Expedition and Racing and North Platte Exposition and Racing.” 

Global Gaming was partnering with quarter horse owner Brian Becker who operates a one-day horse meet in Hastings.

Both Global Gaming and the Becker family have yet to comment on the termination of the plans.
