Construction of temporary Nebraska casino set to begin from next month
In the American state of Nebraska and Elite Casino Resorts LLC is reportedly next week set to break ground on a temporary casino for the Fonner Park thoroughbred horseracing track that will eventually offer a selection of approximately 300 slots.
According to a Saturday report from a source, work on building the interim facility is scheduled to start from September 7 following the conclusion of this year’s edition of the ongoing Nebraska State Fair. This project is subsequently due to be finished in November to purportedly give the 220-acre complex a makeshift casino also hosting a number of blackjack and craps-friendly gaming tables and a restaurant.
Public pronouncement:
Voters in Nebraska reportedly passed a local constitutional referendum in November of 2020 so as to allow horseracing tracks in ‘The Cornhusker State’ to offer a range of Las Vegas-style gambling entertainment. สล็อต777 This significant alteration purportedly prompted Elite Casino Resorts LLC to apply for permission to bring its $100 million Grand Island Casino Resort venue to the Hall County facility complete with a 37,000 sq ft gaming floor offering a selection of some 650 slots as well as 20 gaming tables.
Significant scheme:
Elite Casino Resorts LLC is already responsible for the Grand Falls Casino and Golf Resort, Rhythm City Casino Resort and Riverside Casino and Golf Resort venues in the neighboring state of Iowa and reportedly has plans to debut its 116-room Walker’s Bluff Casino Resort near the southern Illinois city of Carbondale sometime next year.

Foyer facility:
The temporary Grand Island casino is to reportedly be constructed within the existing concourse of Fonner Park’s racetrack with its opening coming after Elite Casino Resorts LLC secured a license from the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission.

Coming competition:
The WarHorse Gaming LLC enterprise of the federally-recognized Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska is moreover reportedly looking to capitalize on the coming Nebraska casino market and has already received permission to bring similarly-sized gambling-friendly projects to the state’s Horsemen’s Park and Lincoln Race Course facilities.
