GRAND ISLAND- Up until this point, Nebraska gamblers have been to play slot machines at only two of Nebraska's racetrack casinos. However, this may change under a new request made by The Grand Island Casino Resorts, which, if passed, would allow the casino to expand its temporary operation at Fonner Park and add table games.

Vincent Fiala, the casino's general manager, said they plan to add craps, roulette, and blackjack tables if their request is approved. The Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission will consider the proposal at its April 14th meeting. If passed by the commission, however, Fiala stated that it would likely be July before the new table games are up and running.

By the end of February, the Grand Island casino had already generated more than $1 million in gaming taxes, while WarHorse Casino, which has been opened since September, pulled in around $4.4 million. WarHorse officials stated that they don't plan to add table games at their temporary Lincoln casino, but do plan to add sports betting by mid- to late-May.
