WarHorse Casino Lincoln made history in June 2023 when it accepted Nebraska's first legal sports wager. Operated by WarHorse Gaming and located adjacent to the Lincoln Race Course, it remains the largest retail sportsbook in the state and the flagship venue for Nebraska's retail-only market.
WarHorse Lincoln offers a mix of self-service kiosks and staffed betting windows. The kiosks accept cash and print paper tickets that you redeem at the cage for any winnings. Staffed windows are useful for larger wagers, parlay help, and futures markets that aren't always loaded on kiosks. Government-issued ID is required, and the minimum age is 21.
You can wager on the major US professional leagues — NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL — plus UFC/MMA, soccer, golf and tennis. College football and college basketball are offered, but Nebraska law prohibits any wager on a game involving an in-state college team (Cornhuskers and Bluejays). Live in-game betting is available on most pro events.
The casino floor includes 433 slots, table games, a sports lounge with multiple screens, food and drink. Parking is free and the location is a short drive from downtown Lincoln. Because Nebraska has no legal mobile sportsbook, this is one of only four places in the state where a legal sports bet can be placed.
