Nebraska's third state-licensed casino will be opening in a month. On Friday, the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission approved a gaming license for a temporary casino at Ag Park in Columbus. Caesars Entertainment plans a 28,000-square-foot Harrah's casino and sportsbook with more than 500 slot machines and 14 table games along U.S. 81 on the northwest side of the city. But in the meantime, it plans to open a temporary casino at the site of Columbus' existing horse racing track. That casino is scheduled to open June 12, said Don Ostert, general manager for Harrah's Columbus Racing and Casino.
