Driven by expanded operations and robust returns from electronic gaming machines, Nebraska’s four commercial casinos reported gross gaming revenue of $21.1 million for April 2025, a 154.7% year-over-year increase.
Nebraska’s four commercial casinos recorded gross gaming revenue of $21.1 million in April, up from $8.2 million the previous year and a 154.7% increase year on year.
However, the percentage gain is distorted by the fact that only two of the state’s four casinos were open last April.
The numbers, issued by the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission, indicated that electronic gaming machines generated $18.1 million in total gaming revenue. Electronic table games earned $429,943, table games made $2 million, and retail sportsbooks made $496,207.

Nebraska’s four commercial casinos are attached to racetrack facilities and also offer in-person sports wagering. Online wagering and igaming are not legal in the state. A bill that would have legalized online sports betting was abandoned in April when it became clear that it did not have the support necessary to become law.
