GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (KSNB) -Elite Casino Resorts is expected to open live table games with the grand opening of the expanded gaming floor at its Grand Island temporary casino facility on Friday. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 6:15 p.m.
This move comes following a vote earlier in the day by the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission.
The event marks a significant milestone as the casino unveiled the first live table games ever offered in the state of Nebraska. The expanded casino will offer live blackjack, craps and roulette tables in addition to further state-of-the-art slot machines.
“We are absolutely excited to bring the first live table games to Nebraska and to our valued Grand Island Casino guests,” said Dan Kehl, CEO of Elite Casino Resorts, the parent company of the Grand Island Casino. “This expansion to the temporary casino is driven by listening to our guests and our commitment to providing top-notch entertainment experiences. We are also eager to start construction on our permanent facility in October and begin the next phase of this multi-million-dollar development in Grand Island.”
Chris Kotulak, CEO of Fonner Park, also expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “This is an important moment for the horse racing community, Grand Island and the entire state of Nebraska. The addition of live table games, expanded menu offerings and live entertainment on the weekends at the Grand Island Casino adds a new layer of entertainment to our community and offers a unique experience for both local residents and visitors. It is also another step in the process of rejuvenating the Nebraska Thoroughbred racing industry and the agriculture industry that accompanies it.”
Coming next week, prior to college football season, the expanded casino area will also feature retail and kiosk sports betting via the ELITE Sportsbook which allows guests to wager on their favorite college and professional teams onsite.
Additionally, the Snack Bar underwent a transformation into Draft Day, a restaurant offering an expanded menu selection including, appetizers, burgers, pizza and salads and breakfast bites on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
