WARHORSE LINCOLN CASINO EXPANSION BEGINNING TO TAKE SHAPE

LINCOLN- Lynne McNally, CEO of the Nebraska Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, who partnered with Ho-Chunk Inc. to build WarHorse Casino in Lincoln, said she expects the expansion project to be visible to anyone passing by within the next month. "The weather has been beautiful for construction," said McNally, giving an update to the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission last Friday.

Phase 2 of the WarHorse Casino, which will double the size of the current facility, is expected to be completed soon. The expansion will create 900 new gaming positions, including 10 table games, and make improvements to the simulcasting and sportsbook areas of the casino. On Friday, McNally said the foundations are in place, and that the structural steel is expected to be delivered very soon.

"We're trying to work as fast as we can to get that building enclosed so we can work throughout the winter inside," she said. Meanwhile, work on the infrastructure surrounding the casino continues. Storm sewers and a new roundabout required by the city are among the projects being worked on in addition to the facility itself. According to McNally, all street projects and improvements should be completed by April.
