LINCOLN- November was a big month for casino gambling in Nebraska. Collectively, the state's racetrack casinos brought in just more than $1.6 million in gaming tax, making it the best month ever for tax collections. The previous record was set in September. WarHorse Casino in Lincoln and the Grand Island Casino resort both had strong months.

WarHorse produced nearly $880,000 in gaming taxes, its most productive month since March, while the Grand Island casino brought in nearly $523,000 in taxes, its best month since April. Harrah’s Columbus produced about $211,000, which was actually down from October. November also marked the first time WarHorse's Omaha casino location produced gambling taxes.

For the year, gaming taxes have now topped $16 million, with the Lincoln casino contributing nearly $9.4 million. Because the gaming tax is 20% of gross revenue, that means the state's casinos have brought in more than $80 million in gross revenue through the first 11 months.
