With a ribbon-cutting ceremony and ceremonial first bets on slot machines, state-sanctioned casino gambling made its debut in Omaha.
A blue ribbon cutting ceremony was held in front of the brand-new WarHorse Casino at 63rd and Q Streets, where about 200 people attended.
Arriving four years after Nebraskans approved casino gaming, the casino was welcomed by supporters.
Opponents had been able to successfully stifle attempts to legalize gaming in the state for decades.
