Grand Island Casino Resort, operated by Elite Casino Resorts, sits adjacent to historic Fonner Park — one of the oldest horse-racing venues in the Midwest. The combined property gives central Nebraska bettors access to thoroughbred racing and a full retail sportsbook in the same trip.
Grand Island is what's known as a racino — a horse-racing track with a casino license. Under LB 561 only properties tied to licensed Nebraska racetracks can host retail sports betting, which is why every legal Nebraska sportsbook is part of a racino property.
Full menus on NFL, college football (excluding Cornhuskers / Bluejays games), NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC, golf, tennis and soccer. Horse racing has its own pari-mutuel windows separate from the sportsbook kiosks. Live betting is available throughout most pro events.
Bettors in the Grand Island, Hastings, Kearney corridor — the central Nebraska population centers — who would otherwise face a long drive to Lincoln or Omaha. Combining a Fonner Park race day with sportsbook bets makes for a full gaming visit.
