LINCOLN- Nebraska's first casino slots are only days away as WarHorse Casino is slated to open on September 19th with over 400 slot machines available.

"It's unbelievable. I'm just I'm so grateful and excited. Absolutely can't wait for this to get started," said Lynne McNally of the Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association.

They are partnering with Ho-Chunk Inc. at both the Lincoln and Omaha casinos.

"And this operation will continue while we're building the permanent facility, which will take approximately 20 months," McNally said.

The casino still must obtain its gaming operator's license. At the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission's latest meeting, they indicated that the license will be provided.

Commissioners said they wanted to make sure all of the background checks, operation and building concerns are met and games certified by an independent lab.

The casino is also looking for over half of its staff still claiming they need around 100 more employees.
