The Goal
To ensure three state ballot measures are passed that will do exactly what our name implies – keep that money and boost local economies here in our home state.
What’s in it for Nebraskans?
Nebraskans spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually gambling at casinos in the bordering states (Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Missouri, Colorado and Wyoming), all of which have legalized casino gaming.
Expanding gaming would bring in millions in new tax revenue that could be used to aid property tax relief and education across the state.
Nebraska won’t be Las Vegas. The measures will limit casinos to the licensed horse racing tracks across the state.
Tying casino gaming to horse tracks also will create new jobs in the state’s ag, construction, and entertainment industries.
Statistics show no correlation between gaming and social problems like problem gambling, bankruptcy, divorce, crime, etc. In fact, Iowa and South Dakota (with casinos) have either the same or lower rates than Nebraska on crime and similar data.

"As many Nebraskans continue to grouse – and rightfully so, in some instances – about taxation, those who cross state lines to gamble willingly pay taxes to Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and South Dakota.
Casino gambling is an entirely voluntary tax, one that could offer Nebraska a financial boost of several million dollars a year. Not all Nebraskans would pay that tax, but all Nebraskans could benefit."
