Nebraska, which just saw the opening of the temporary WarHorse Lincoln, the state’s first retail casino, is now one step closer to accepting sports wagers as well.
The Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission approved regulations on sports betting in the state’s racinos, according to KLKN.
“It’s a great milestone to give the voters in the state what they asked for, which is casino gambling in Nebraska, including sports betting,” said WarHorse Casino director of marketing Pete Graziano.
Rules require all sports gambling to be done in person in the casinos. Betting on games on teams within the state is not permitted.
The framework still needs to be accepted by Attorney General Doug Petersen and Governor Pete Ricketts.
