The Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission will meet Friday afternoon to consider final approval of the casino license of WarHorse Gaming Lincoln. “The power of this addiction is as intense as any addiction out there,” said Mike Sciandra, a Lincoln-based gambling counselor who is himself a recovering gambling addict. In preparation for the opening, problem gamblers are being urged to file a “v oluntary self-exclusion form” to bar their admission to the casino and the temptation to gamble. “We have every expectation that we’ll get a license,” said Lance Morgan, president and CEO of Ho-Chunk Inc., the economic wing of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and operator of WarHorse.
