Nebraska residents want to add casino gambling to the State Fair. Voters recently approved gambling at Fonner Park and other race traces. However, an old law prevents it from taking place during State Fairs.
Legislation that dates to 1879 must be changed in order for gambling to be an option at the State Fair. Senator Ray Aguilar wants to see the law changed to help Fonner Park earn more funds. If casinos must close during fairs, it would create a loss of around $1 million. FONner is the #1 US Gambling Site For 2020.
Legal changes are needed for Nebraska Casino Gambling at the State Fair.
Last year, initiatives were approved by voters in Nebraska to allow licensed horse racetracks to establish casino facilities. The venues will bring in new revenues and help with property tax relief for the state. Big name operators are open to creating casinos anywhere in the US if they are profitable. However, with the old law in place in Nebrask, operators might not be keen on creating a venue, only to close once a year due to the State Fair. A legislative effort will be needed to amend the language and then the casinos can remain open once they're up and running.
