Warhorse Casino

WarHorse Casino in Lincoln, Nebraska, opened its doors for Phase 1 in September 2022, marking a transformative moment for the state's gaming industry. Designed with a distinct architectural flair, the casino combines contemporary sophistication with the branding elements of WarHorse Gaming, creating a dynamic and immersive experience for guests. Blue agate, an iconic design feature throughout the property, symbolizes strength and stability, while the bold branding of WarHorse Gaming establishes a unique identity that sets the casino apart. As Nebraska's first full-service casino following the legalization of gambling in 2020, WarHorse Casino is a pioneer in entertainment and hospitality in the region.

Phase 2 of the project, completed in November 2024, doubled the size of the gaming floor, expanding it to accommodate a wider variety of gaming options. This phase also introduced a significantly enhanced Sports Book and Simulcast viewing areas, designed with cutting-edge technology and premium seating to elevate the guest experience. The property's architectural design emphasizes clean lines, vibrant interiors, and a seamless flow between spaces, ensuring an engaging and energetic atmosphere.

Phase 3, currently in design, promises to enhance the casino's offerings further, bringing the total to over 1,300 gaming positions. The expansion will feature a vibrant Food Hall with diverse dining options, a Fine Dining restaurant, a central Feature Bar to energize the gaming floor, and exclusive High Limits and VIP areas. The architectural design integrates these elements into a cohesive, dynamic environment that blends entertainment with luxury. The distinctive WarHorse branding and the use of blue agate throughout the interiors reinforce the property's identity while creating a visually stunning backdrop for guests.

The final phase, Phase 4, will complete the multi-phase vision for WarHorse Casino. It will include a 150-room hotel offering refined accommodations and a 15,000-square-foot event center and meeting space to attract conferences and large-scale events.

The project has brought economic growth and tourism to Lincoln, creating job opportunities and contributing significantly to the local economy. With its bold architectural design, vibrant atmosphere, and commitment to excellence, WarHorse Casino has quickly established itself as a premier destination for gaming, dining, and entertainment in Nebraska.
