The casino opened its door to the public at 10 a.m., but the ceremony began some time earlier than that, with Tribal Elder and member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska’s Tribal Council Ken Mallory placing a bet at around 9:30 am. The grand opening ceremony drew hundreds of gaming enthusiasts, seeking to try their luck at the brand new property. WarHorse Casino made state history on Saturday, marking the first pull of a slot machine in Lincoln. It’s official: Nebraska’s first casino has now opened its doors to the public.
