Native American casino operator Ho-Chunk Inc has launched WarHorse Gaming LLC, a new division to manage and operate the expansion of casino gaming at three existing horse racing tracks in the state of Nebraska.
WarHorse Gaming LLC in partnership with the Nebraska Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association is in the process of developing plans to develop casino gaming at the licensed horse racing tracks in Omaha, Lincoln and South Sioux City.
WarHorse Gaming LLC will be responsible for overall gaming operations at Horsemen’s Park in Omaha, Lincoln Racecourse in Lincoln, and Atokad in South Sioux City. The Nebraska HBPA will continue to oversee all horse racing at the tracks.
According to a statement from Ho-Chunk, the two organizations are at the early planning stages of implementing a realistic timeline to expand casino operations at the horse racing tracks.
WarHorse management anticipates expanded gaming in some form during the latter half of 2021 with full casino operations up and running during 2022. Management indicated further information regarding timeline, plans and what to expect next will be issued on a later date.
Additionally, Ho-Chunk Inc has announced the appointment of Brian Chamberlain as the Executive Director of the new division, and that subsidiary Blue Earth Marketing will act as agency of record for all three casinos.
